“Warning – Adding a server to this cluster means all data on that server will be removed”. What does that imply?"
It will NOT eraser data in your current cluster. But rather prep your new node that you want to add by wiping the slate clean on the server.
The second machine 192.168.137.1:8091 sounds like you are pointing to a machine in your local enviroment (under your own router / switch).
