Hi,

Environment:

- ES 6.3.1 (installed via RPM)  
I'm trying to add another node to my cluster which is only one node but it's gave me the following error:  
\*NOTE: "10.xx.xx.xx" the current node , "10.yy.yy.yy the new node.

My elasticsearch.yml is :

```
cluster.name: ELK-DEV
node.name: dev1
node.master: true
node.data: true

path.data: /u01/data/elasticsearch

path.logs: /u01/log/elasticsearch

network.host: 10.xx.xx.xx
http.port: 9200

discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["10.xx.xx.xx", "10.yy.yy.yy"]

discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 2

```

Please provide a solution.

Thanks.

You probably added some JVM options which are unsecured. Read [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.4/all-permission-check.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.4/all-permission-check.html)
