I am trying to bootstrap a 3 node cluster based on this guide:

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/modules-discovery-bootstrap-cluster.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/modules-discovery-bootstrap-cluster.html)

**node1 (master)**

```auto
node.name: node01
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["node01.es.lan", "node02.es.lan", "node03.es.lan"]
cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node01","node01.es.lan"]

```

**node2**

```auto
node.name: node02
discovery.seed_hosts: ["node01.es.lan"]
cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node01","node01.es.lan"]

```

**node3**

```auto
node.name: node03
discovery.seed_hosts: ["node01.es.lan"]
cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node01","node01.es.lan"]

```

First I have made sure to delete the data dir on all 3 nodes. I then first start **node1** and wait for it to be up followed by **node2** and **node3**

```auto
[2020-06-25T22:42:47,666][WARN][o.e.c.c.ClusterFormationFailureHelper] [node01] master not discovered yet, 
this node has not previously joined a bootstrapped (v7+) cluster, and this node must discover master-eligible nodes 
[node01, node01.es.lan] to bootstrap a cluster: have discovered 
[{node01}{tjykvuzoTSeemHxxsYci-g}{6auh0orvTkOtOdo2KEHoRw}{node01.es.lan}{192.168.9.23:9300}{dilmrt}{ml.machine_memory=16656392192,
xpack.installed=true, transform.node=true, ml.max_open_jobs=20}, 

```

Any suggestions?

@code_share  
Assuming node01.es.lan resolves from all three nodes and 9300 on each host is accessible from other two nodes

**node1 (master)**

```auto
node.name: node01
discovery.seed_hosts: node01.es.lan
cluster.initial_master_nodes: node01

```

**node2**

```auto
node.name: node02
discovery.seed_hosts: node01.es.lan

```

**node3**

```auto
node.name: node03
discovery.seed_hosts: node01.es.lan

```
