title: MySQL 8.0.13 Group Replication Recovery Error MY-002061
body: <p>I have MySQL group replication with 3 servers. One of them experienced an error and was unable to recover its ONLINE status in the replication list due to an error connecting to a donor server. </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[Repl] Slave I/O for channel 'group_replication_recovery': error
    connecting to master 'repl@PRIV_IP_HERE:3306' - retry-time: 60 
    retries: 1, Error_code: MY-002061</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I re-initialized group replication on all 3 servers. Bootstrapping the replication list on the first server worked, but neither of the other 2 servers were able to join the group successfully (stuck in RECOVERING state). </p>
  
  <p>How can I fix this group replication recovery process?</p>
