Cluster Form and Join Operation Entries

As you read entries in the cluster log, you notice the beginnings and endings of operations, even though there are no divisions between the entries — it goes right from the last entry of an unsuccessful join to the first of a successful form, if that's the next loggable event.

The following operations span large groups of cluster log entries:

  • Initializing the node

  • Joining a cluster (unsuccessful attempt)

  • An attempt by a node to form a cluster

  • Activity after a successful join or form operation

The following sections look in detail at the entries for each of those operations.
