Cluster policy can be defined in the PowerFolder.config and also in the Cluster.config that is present in the server_maintenance folder under cluster.

- Upgrade your server to v15.1.100
- Delete the configuration entry:
cluster.newconnects.policy=externalfrom PowerFolder.config and Cluster.config - Restart all the nodes of your cluster
- Cross-check the cluster policy, it should be automatically taken as
cluster.newconnects.policy=fewest_folders
In the previous versions a default the cluster policy was given as:
cluster.newconnects.policy=external
That means the server should adopt the cluster policy that is defined in the external web server e.g. Nginx or Apache.
Conclusion
The actual setup you choose is depended on your requirements, budget and existing infrastructure.
