    get cluster config | find Id:
  3. Copy the output of the command and save it.
  4. Run the following command to retrieve the thumbprint of the Global Manager API certificate.
    get certificate api thumbprint
  5. Copy the output of the command and save it.
  6. Log in to the second Global Manager node and run the following command to join this node to the cluster:
    join
    first_node_IP
     cluster-id
    cluster_ID
     username admin password
    nsx_admin_password
     thumbprint
    api_thumbprint
    where
    cluster_ID
     is the value from step 3 and
