Hello,  
I try to build 2-node cluster but it doesn't work. I have installed **bitnami-elk-7.9.1-0-linux-debian-10-x86\_64-nami.ova** , I made two nodes:  
debian-01: 192.168.11.96, and debian-02: 192.168.11.97  
configuration file elasticsearch.yml:

```auto
http.port: 9200
path.data: /opt/bitnami/elasticsearch/data
transport.tcp.port: 9300
action.destructive_requires_name: true
network.host: 192.168.11.96
network.bind_host: 0.0.0.0
network.publish_host: 192.168.11.96
cluster.name: Cluster
node.name: debian-01 //second node debian-02
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["192.168.11.96", "192.168.11.97"]
discovery.initial_state_timeout: 5m
gateway.recover_after_nodes: 1
gateway.expected_nodes: 1
cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["192.168.11.96", "192.168.11.97"]
node.master: true
node.data: true
node.ingest: false

```

I have tried different configurations and still don't work. Can somebody help me and correct the configuration file?

</div>

I have tried something like these:

```auto
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["192.168.11.96", "192.168.11.97"]
or
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["debian-01", "debian-02"]

cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["192.168.11.96", "192.168.11.97"]
or
cluster.initial_master_nodes: 192.168.11.96, 192.168.11.97
or
cluster.initial_master_nodes: debian-01, debian-02

```

and it doesn't work.  
Anyway, maybe you have some example how to properly configure cluster, if yes share with me if you want.

Ok, but please be more explicit.  
Can you share logs?

I removed these lines from configuration file:

```
gateway.recover_after_nodes: 1
gateway.expected_nodes: 1

```

and it works like it should.
