From 9b51d9972d047afb076a585c1b4ab2ea43d40a2f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Turner Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2023 08:25:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] More specific `cluster.initial_master_nodes` instructions (#101493) In the note on forming a single cluster we describe what to do if inadvertently forming extra clusters, but we can be more explicit about what to do with `cluster.initial_master_nodes` in these instructions. This commit adds the missing details. --- docs/reference/modules/discovery/bootstrapping.asciidoc | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/docs/reference/modules/discovery/bootstrapping.asciidoc b/docs/reference/modules/discovery/bootstrapping.asciidoc index fc43177bd74b..81ac3f6cc4cd 100644 --- a/docs/reference/modules/discovery/bootstrapping.asciidoc +++ b/docs/reference/modules/discovery/bootstrapping.asciidoc @@ -151,7 +151,8 @@ a separate single-node cluster then you must start again: folder>>. .
