How to change single-node-cluster to 3 node cluster?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,

If I decide to start with a single node ES cluster (version 7.1.1) where I set discovery.type to single-node.
What is the path to go for migrate this cluster to a 3 node cluster? All data of the cluster needs to be kept.

Just change discovery.type, add discovery.seed_hosts which contains all 3 hosts and add cluster.initial_master_nodes which contains the nodes names?
Then (re-)starting all nodes and I am done?

Or is there more to do?

And how to change the number of replicas for existing indices?

Thanks,
Andreas

yes, do that in all nodes

This is not quite true. You should set discovery.seed_hosts on every node, but you should not set cluster.initial_master_nodes on any of them. This is only used the first time the cluster starts, but that's already happened, so you shouldn't set it when growing a cluster.
