I am trying to join Nodes to cluster and the following error comes up =  
accepts at most 1 arg(s), received 3  
To see the stack trace of this error execute with --v=5 or higher

Can anyone please help as I am new to Kubernetes?

I have installed Flannel in master for network plugin.

I am also getting the following error in Master -

**W0124 02:47:57.474833 3005 validation.go:28] Cannot validate kube-proxy config - no validator is available**

**W0124 02:47:57.475021 3005 validation.go:28] Cannot validate kubelet config - no validator is available**

### Cluster information:

Kubernetes version: V1.17.2  
Cloud being used: (put bare-metal if not on a public cloud) : Google cloud  
Installation method:  
Host OS: Centos 7  
CNI and version:  
CRI and version:

You can format your yaml by highlighting it and pressing Ctrl-Shift-C, it will make your output easier to read.

I deleted and re-installed the nodes and was able to join the nodes to cluster. I am learning Kubernetes and practicing in Google Cloud.

Thanks for your offer to help.
