I used this guide to setup OrientDB cluster in Kubernetes. However, it seems that each node on each pod creates its own cluster instead of joining a shared one. So the logs on each pod display such a message:

Members [1] {
    Member [pod-ip]:5701 - generated id
}

What could cause such a problem?

My orientdb-server-config file looks this way:

<handler class="com.orientechnologies.orient.server.hazelcast.OHazelcastPlugin">
     <parameters>
          <parameter value="true" name="enabled"/>
          <parameter value="orientdb/config/default-distributed-db-config.json" name="configuration.db.default"/>
          <parameter value="orientdb/config/hazelcast.xml" name="configuration.hazelcast"/>
          <parameter name="nodeName" value="$pod_dns" />
     </parameters>
</handler>

My hazelcast.xml file looks like this (pod_dns is the name of the pod stored in env):

 </network>
    <properties>
        <property name="hazelcast.discovery.enabled">true</property>
    </properties>
    <network>
        <join>
            <multicast enabled="false"/>
            <tcp-ip enabled="false"/>
            <discovery-strategies>
                <discovery-strategy enabled="true"
                                    class="com.hazelcast.kubernetes.HazelcastKubernetesDiscoveryStrategy">
                    <properties>
                        <property name="service-dns">pod_dns.default.svc.cluster.local</property>
                        <property name="service-dns-timeout">10</property>
                    </properties>
                </discovery-strategy>
            </discovery-strategies>
        </join>
    </network>

Kubernetes StatefulSet. Bash scripts for hazelcast and orientdb-server-config files are mounted and executed (for setting update depending on the env value on each pod):
