Description:
Hi,
While trying to setup a two cluster connected with async replication, as described here:
https://lefred.be/content/mysql-innodb-cluster-with-2-data-centers-for-disaster-recovery-h...

it was found out that creating the second site DC2 in Node 4 overwrites the existing meta-data, meaning in step:
-------
We can verify in the InnoDB Cluster Metadata that we have 2 clusters now:
-------

We only see one cluster and note two, that results in being impossible to connect the two cluster using ASYNC Repl between them.

Using MySQL Shell 8.0.15 this problem does not exist.

How to repeat:
Execute the steps described in https://lefred.be/content/mysql-innodb-cluster-with-2-data-centers-for-disaster-recovery-h...

Suggested fix:
Should be possible to deploy two geo redundant clusters, using the steps described in https://lefred.be/content/mysql-innodb-cluster-with-2-data-centers-for-disaster-recovery-h...

Or even better, the scenario of two Geo-Redundant InnoDB Cluster should be deployed and managed automatically.
