+wsrep_new_cluster
+
+##Deploy steps
+1. run on primary node (with new cluster flag first) - "sudo systemctl enable --now mariadb"
+2. run these to validate that it has joined the pi witness
+-- systemctl status mariadb
+-- mariadb -e "SHOW STATUS LIKE 'wsrep_cluster_size';"
+3. Make sure pi has correct cluster and ip's
+4. use "systemctl restart garb" and "systemctl status garb" to confirm status
+5. once cluster has pi and primary node then comment out the "wsrep_new_cluster" line in the 50-galera.cnf on the primary node
+6. run on the second node: "sudo systemctl enable --now mariadb" and use commands from step 3 to validate that there are 3 nodes
