Hi, do you mean how to add an additional eligible master node to the cluster? You'll need to set `node.master :true` in your `elasticsearch.yml` configuration file. For more details, please [refer to the documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.6/modules-node.html#master-node) ---
