Create and join a peer to a channel
Prerequisites
In this example, we will assume the new channel will be named MyChannel
Generate a channel genesis block
Consult the README for system requirements
Gather public keys into a MSP for genesis block creation and create configtx.yaml
This adds the PeerAdmin to the new channel as an ADMIN by putting its public key into msp/admincerts
In these examples, we assume the PeerOrg admin has been enrolled and its MSP is in PeerAdmin/msp
cp config.env-example config.envEdit config.env. Set NETWORK_ID to your <NetworkID>, and ANCHOR_PEERS to a quote enclosed, space separated list of at least two <NodeID>s.
In these examples, <NodeID> is the ID of a peer node and <NetworkID> is the ID of the network as shown in the Network connect page. Omit the <>'s, e.g. NETWORK_ID="abcdefgh". ANCHOR_PEERS should have at leleast two nodes!
Create configtx.yaml

mkdir -p mychannel/msp/cacerts/ mychannel/msp/admincerts/

Note that fetch/join has to be done for every <NodeID> peer you wish to join to a channel, as specified in the config.env ANCHOR_PEERS setting for the configtx.yaml created above.
