Getting error while adding new node to cluster.

```

Gone through the bootstrap document, not able to figure out error that might be causing it.

Elastic search version on master: 8.8  
ES version on new node: 8.12.

elasticsearch.yml (New node)

```auto
discovery.seed_hosts: ["x.x.x.x:9200", "x.x.x.x:9200"]
 Enable security features
xpack.security.enabled: true

xpack.security.enrollment.enabled: true

I was able to figure out the logs and issue. If it might help someone adding it here:

Initial logs also showed following error:

```auto
unable to load JNA native support library, native methods will be disabled.
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Native library (com/sun/jna/linux-x86/libjnidispatch.so

```

Resolution:

```auto
Set ES_JAVA_OPTS="-Djna.tmpdir=/var/lib/elasticsearch/tmp" in /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch
mkdir -p /var/lib/elasticsearch/tmp
chown -R elasticsearch.elasticsearch /var/lib/elasticsearch/tmp

```

It's best to set `ES_TMPDIR` instead of `-Djna.tmpdir`; see [these docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.12/executable-jna-tmpdir.html) for more details.
