I'm about to make 2 nodes with the same cluster but each node is configured in separate elasticsearch.yml in different machines. For the first node is in machine 1: [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): sql [node.name](http://node.name): engineering node.master: true node.data: true network.host: 127.0.0.3 transport.tcp.port: 9300-9400 http.port: 9200 discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["127.0.0.3", "127.0.0.2:9200"] index.number\_of\_shards: 2 index.number\_of\_replicas: 1 network.bind\_host: 127.0.0.3 network.publish\_host: 127.0.0.3 Second node is in second machine: [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): sql [node.name](http://node.name): team node.master: false node.data: true network.host: 127.0.0.2 http.port: 9200 transport.tcp.port: 9300-9400 discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: [127.0.0.3","127.0.0.2:9200"] index.number\_of\_shards: 2 index.number\_of\_replicas: 1 network.bind\_host: 127.0.0.2 network.publish\_host: 127.0.0.2 I cannot seem to connect the 2 nodes. ---

Change ``` discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: [127.0.0.3","127.0.0.2:9200"] ``` To: ``` discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: [127.0.0.3","127.0.0.2:9300"] ``` Or ``` discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: [127.0.0.3","127.0.0.2"] ``` ---

You need to set it to a non-loopback address, 127.0.0.0/8 is entirely loopback. See [Connectivity issues with a new/upgraded 2.X cluster? Read here first :)](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/connectivity-issues-with-a-new-upgraded-2-x-cluster-read-here-first/35699/7) ---

Hi Warkolm, i need to set my master node to 127.0.0.0/8? and the other nodes I can set it to other IPs? as long as my Master node holds the nonloop back address? ---

No, they all need to be non-loopback IPs. ---

Hi Warkolm, For the first node is in machine 1: [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): sql [node.name](http://node.name): engineering node.master: true node.data: true **network.host: 127.0.0.0** transport.tcp.port: 9300-9400 http.port: 9200 discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false **discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: [?]** index.number\_of\_shards: 2 index.number\_of\_replicas: 1 **network.bind\_host: 127.0.0.0** **network.publish\_host: 127.0.0.0** Second node is in second machine: [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): sql [node.name](http://node.name): team node.master: false node.data: true **network.host: 127.0.0.0** http.port: 9200 transport.tcp.port: 9300-9400 discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false **discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: [?]** index.number\_of\_shards: 2 index.number\_of\_replicas: 1 **network.bind\_host: 127.0.0.0** **network.publish\_host: 127.0.0.0** Are the changes correct for my nodes? what should I place for the discovery.zen.ping.unicast.host? ---

You cannot use `127.0.0.*`, at all. Take a read of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost) ---

Please don't use 127.x.x.x as your node IP. Change both server IPs to something like 192.168.1.11 and 192.168.1.12 ---

Arianayay, Any luck on this? did you solve this issue, am on the same boat need some help. Thanks, Chala. ---

Arianayay, Am able to fix this no known master issue, here is my .yml configuration settings [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): hits [node.name](http://node.name): "node1" node.master: true node.data: true network.host: 127.11.11.1 http.port : 9210 transport.tcp.port : 9300-9400 discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["127.11.11.1"] [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): hits [node.name](http://node.name): "node2" node.master: false node.data: true network.host: 127.11.11.1 http.port : 9211 transport.tcp.port : 9300-9400 discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["127.11.11.1"] however am getting warnings when I index data, on master node am getting "received shard failed for [hits][0]" and on second node - "marking and sending shard failed due to [failed to create index]" another issue when both are up and running am able to view data using [http://127.11.11.1:9210](http://127.11.11.1:9210) and [http://127.11.11.1:9211](http://127.11.11.1:9211), but when the master node is down the second node fails to displays data with reason "all shards failed". How to create copy of data to second node? If I create replicas of shards how to map them to store it like - master node shard's replica on second node so that i will read data even the master fails finally why the second node is not becoming as master on its own when master node is down? is 2.1.1 is not supporting this? Please help me. Thanks, Chala ---

Since both ES are on different machines, both must bind on an non-loopback valid IP address, and for the copy of data, you can either use curl and change settings to the following: > PUT /my\_index/\_settings > { > "number\_of\_replicas": 2 > } or change the number\_of\_replicas directive on elasticsearch.yml config file: > number\_of\_replicas: 2 ---

Hi I already solved this issue. They're correct use the **IP of the server** do not initiate any IP but use the one in your own machine/server and it will work accordingly. ---

Hi We have one code base to connect elastic search (localhost:9200). We deployed this code on two different boxes under load balancing server. In this case, how to configure ES in 2 different machines to connect ES and index should reflect both sides. ---
