Installing IQ Bot in Cluster mode on machines with IQ Bot preinstalled

If you have IQ Bot already installed on your machine, uninstall IQ Bot, stop RabbitMQ service, and clean the existing RabbitMQ v3.8.18 cookies before installing IQ Bot in Cluster mode.

Prerequisites

Open ports 4369 and 25672 and add inbound firewall rules to allow traffic to these ports on each target machine.
To add nodes to the cluster, sync the RabbitMQ v3.8.18 cookies to enable running any RabbitMQ v3.8.18 commands . If IQ Bot is already installed on the target machine, clean up and remove the existing cookies.
