Hi Team,  
I am running ES 6.3 in Centos 6.9  
I changed elasticsearch.yml file and added 1 node IP address.  
Now after starting, I am Bootstrap check failed issue.  
I added JAVA\_OPTS into JVM.option file also but getting wrong sytax for JAVA\_OPTS.  
Please check this  
[1]: encountered improperly formatted JVM option line [export ES\_JAVA\_OPTS = "$ES\_JAVA\_OPTS -Des.enforce.bootstrap.checks=true"]  
PLease tell me what is the right format.

Best regards
