+pt-table-checksum works with Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.5.27-23.6 and newer.
+The C<dsn> method for L<"--recursion-method"> must be used to specify cluster
+nodes and regular replicas because nodes are not regular replicas so they
+cannot be detected automatically.  The lag check (see L<"REPLICA CHECKS">)
+is not performed for cluster nodes.
