+#. [AArch64 specific] Configure MySQL WSREP SST provider

+   **NOTE**: This option is only available for ArmbandFuel@OPNFV, since it
+   currently only affects AArch64 targets (see *Reference 15*).
+
+   When using some AArch64 platforms as controller nodes, WSREP SST
+   synchronisation using default backend provider (xtrabackup-v2) might fail,
+   so a mechanism that allows selecting a different WSREP SST provider

+   In the FUEL UI of your Environment, click the <Settings> tab, click
+   <OpenStack Services> on the left side pane (see figure below), then
+   select one of the following options:
+

+     takes the donor node offline during state transfer);
+
