###Can I use an existing etcd cluster instead of the automatic embedded servers?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, it's possible to use an existing etcd cluster instead of the automatic,
|
||||
elastic embedded etcd servers. To do so, simply point to the cluster with the
|
||||
`--seeds` variable, the same way you would if you were seeding a new member to
|
||||
an existing mgmt cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
The downside to this approach is that you won't benefit from the automatic
|
||||
elastic nature of the embedded etcd servers, and that you're responsible if you
|
||||
accidentally break your etcd cluster, or if you use an unsupported version.

###You didn't answer my question, or I have a question!

It's best to ask on [IRC](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#mgmtconfig)
