Re: mysql-shell: cannot create a new cluster in ubuntu multipass vm

[jon gore]

The error message suggests that the Group Replication plugin was unable to start due to a problem initializing the group communication layer. Specifically, it appears that the local IP address configured for the node ('mysql-pri:3306') does not match any of the local IP addresses on the instance.

To correct this, you can try setting the group_replication_local_address system variable in MySQL on the instance to a valid IP address for the server, instead of using the hostname. You can also try using the localAddress option in the dba.createCluster() command to specify the IP address of the server.

For example, you can try setting the local address with this command:

sql
Copy code
SET GLOBAL group_replication_local_address='172.16.199.4:3306';
Then, try running dba.createCluster() again with the localAddress option like this:

makefile
Copy code
cdCluster = dba.createCluster("cd-cluster", { localAddress: "172.16.199.4:3306" });
This should use the specified IP address for group replication communication and allow the cluster to be created successfully.
