On a new Galera setup with MariaDB 10.4, the joining node (node 2) was unable to sync an initial state transfer (IST) from the primary node (node 1).

The error messages logged:

The following lines in particular looked intriguing:

2020-04-20 18:32:44 0 [Warning] WSREP: Member 0.0 (db02) requested state transfer from '192.168.5.101', but it is impossible to select State Transfer donor: No route to host

Why would this Galera node db02 be unable to connect to the donor when they're both in the same network?

A quick verification of the Galera settings on node 2 revealed that wsrep_sst_donor was set to the IP address of the primary node db01:

# Galera Sync Method
wsrep_cluster_address="gcomm://192.168.5.101,192.168.5.102,192.168.5.103"
wsrep_sst_method=mariabackup
wsrep_sst_auth="sst:secret"
wsrep_slave_threads=16
wsrep_sst_donor=192.168.5.101
wsrep_node_address="192.168.5.102"
wsrep_node_name="db02"

But this actually causes problems, because wsrep_sst_donor should be a node name, not the IP address of a node.

Adjusting wsrep_sst_donor to the node name of db01 did the trick:

wsrep_sst_donor="db01,"

Note: the ',' after the donor node name tells Galera to look for other donors in the cluster if db01 is not available.

db02 was finally able to sync itself with the donor db01:

Thank for this, I was pulling my hair out here, I was trying to use IP as well :)

What an absolute piece of crap, but thank you, i always use DNS, i tried to use IP over a VPC Peering connection to ensure no extra hops...and that completely F'd me. Thanks for pointing me back to what i wanted to do in the first place, i'll never forget this.
