I created a new node which i want to join an already existing single-node cluster. For the life of me i cannot make it work

The configuraiton file for the existing cluster is

```auto
cluster.name: syslog
node.name: syslog01
#path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
path.data: /data/elasticsearch
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
path.repo: ["/mnt/nas02"]
#network.host: syslog.eksponent.com
network.host: _site_
http.port: 9200
#discovery.type: single-node
cluster.initial_master_nodes:
  - syslog01
  - syslog02  
xpack.security.enabled: true
xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled: true
xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true
xpack.security.http.ssl.key: certs/cert-key.pem
xpack.security.http.ssl.certificate: certs/cert.pem
#xpack.security.http.ssl.certificate_authorities: certs/intermediate.pem
xpack.security.transport.ssl.key: certs/cert-key.pem
xpack.security.transport.ssl.certificate: certs/cert.pem
#xpack.security.transport.ssl.certificate_authorities: certs/intermediate.pem
xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled: true
indices.breaker.request.limit: 41%
indices.breaker.total.use_real_memory: false

```

The conf file for the new node is:

```auto
cluster.name: syslog
node.name: syslog02
#path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
path.data: /data/elasticsearch
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
#path.repo: ["/mnt/nas02"]
#network.host: syslog02.eksponent.com
network.host: _site_
http.port: 9200
discovery.seed_hosts:
  - 192.168.10.98:9200
  - syslog.eksponent.com
xpack.security.enabled: true
xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled: true
xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true
xpack.security.http.ssl.key: certs/cert-key.pem
xpack.security.http.ssl.certificate: certs/cert.pem
#xpack.security.http.ssl.certificate_authorities: certs/intermediate.pem
xpack.security.transport.ssl.key: certs/cert-key.pem
xpack.security.transport.ssl.certificate: certs/cert.pem
#xpack.security.transport.ssl.certificate_authorities: certs/intermediate.pem
xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification_mode: none # <-- Must be removed!!
xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled: true
indices.breaker.request.limit: 41%
indices.breaker.total.use_real_memory: false

```

The error is:

You can't have a 2-node cluster. You have to go from 1 to 3. Otherwise, the two nodes cannot decide between themselves who the master will be.
