Adding Nodes to the Cluster
---------------------------
CAUTION: A node that is about to be added to the cluster cannot hold any guests.
All existing configuration in `/etc/pve` is overwritten when joining a cluster,
since guest IDs could otherwise conflict. As a workaround, you can create a
backup of the guest (`vzdump`) and restore it under a different ID, after the
node has been added to the cluster.
CAUTION: All existing configuration in `/etc/pve` is overwritten when joining a
cluster. In particular, a joining node cannot hold any guests, since guest IDs
could otherwise conflict, and the node will inherit the cluster's storage
configuration. To join a node with existing guest, as a workaround, you can
create a backup of each guest (using `vzdump`) and restore it under a different
ID after joining. If the node's storage layout differs, you will need to re-add
the node's storages, and adapt each storage's node restriction to reflect on
which nodes the storage is actually available.
