When I set up Galera cluster on Centos 7 it requires installed socat. And I have not found any information about it on the following appropriate resources: 1. https://mariadb.com/resources/blog/getting-started-with-mariadb-galera-and-mariadb-maxscale-on-centos/ I suppose, it should be mentioned somewhere. |

socat is not needed by default for Galera Cluster. It is only needed if you use the mariabackup SST method by setting wsrep_sst_method=mariabackup. This is already documented on the page for that SST method: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariabackup-sst-method/#socat-dependency However, I will not close this issue yet, because we should also add documentation to the Enterprise Documentation about the various SST methods, and we should include this detail in that new documentation. |

jacob.moorman from our discussion, I decided to reassign Kenneth's ticket to you? |
