<para>Another important part of clustering is <emphasis>server discovery</emphasis> where
servers can broadcast their connection details so clients or other servers can connect
to them with the minimum of configuration.</para>
<warning>
<para>Once a cluster node has been configured it is common to simply copy that configuration
to other nodes to produce a symmetric cluster. However, care must be taken when copying the
HornetQ files. Do not copy the HornetQ <emphasis>data</emphasis> (i.e. the
<literal>bindings</literal>, <literal>journal</literal>, and <literal>large-messages</literal>
directories) from one node to another. When a node is started for the first time and initializes
its journal files it also persists a special identifier to the <literal>journal</literal>
directory. This id <emphasis>must</emphasis> be unique among nodes in the cluster or the
cluster will not form properly.</para>
