Why this article say we need to stop the database in step 7?

While V docs say we can add nodes without cluster shutdown.
(our customer runs version 8.1.1-16)

The article should point out that you only need to stop the DB if there is a single node in the DB.

I'll email the doc team to have this fixed!
