I have tried creating a multi-node cluster in Aerospike Community edition. But it is not working. Below is the Aerospike.conf file

Hi @PreetamSatapathy, XDR is only supported in Aerospike Enterprise Edition. For Aerospike Enterprise you would need to add an [XDR stanza](https://docs.aerospike.com/server/operations/configure/cross-datacenter#basic-static-xdr-stanza-xdr-dc-node-address-port-and-namespace) to the conf file to set things up.

Hi, Thanks @aanderson for the input. Can I create a multi-node cluster in Aerospike Community Edition by using above config file?

You should be able to create a max of 8 x node in 1 cluster

Is the above Aerospike.conf file is Good for multi node cluster or is there any changes?
