Starting the etcd Cluster

Run the following command on nodes 1, 2, and 3 at the same time to start the nodes:

/usr/local/etcd/bin/etcd --config-file=/usr/local/etcd/conf.yml

If the startup fails, delete data on each node and restart the nodes.
```
rm -rf /usr/local/etcd/data/*
```
To run commands of other operations, you need to open a new window.
