Bootstrap failure: Failed to bind address

Following is the error I am getting:

Following is my elasticsearch.yml

cluster.name: es01
node.name: esnode01
node.master: true
node.data: false
node.ingest: false
network.host: 10.10.10.11
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: 10.10.10.11,10.10.10.12,10.10.10.13 <truncating the other IPs>
discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 2

The cluster has 3 dedicated master nodes, 5 data nodes and 1 client node. Each node will have node.host set to its IP address. In this case I only spinned up one dedicated master and it ended up with the above exception. Any ideas?

Let me know if you need more information.

I think a node (or something else) is already running these ports?
Can you run lsof -i and see if something else running?

I checked that, this is the only process using the port. If I change the value for network.host=0.0.0.0, things work ok, but if it is VMs IP address, it does not work.

Please note that the cluster is dockerized, so the container is using VMs IP address. I verified that firewall is not an issue.

animageofmine · December 1, 2016, 2:53am

FYI: I found the solution.

Updated the host address to 0.0.0.0, published to IP address of the host on which docker container is located and bind address to 0.0.0.0. The documentation is a bit misleading, so had to play trial and error method.

cluster.name: es01
node.name: esnode01
node.master: true
node.data: false
node.ingest: false
network.host: 0.0.0.0
network.published_host: <IPOfVMOrHost>
network.bind_host: 0.0.0.0
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: <ListOfHostIPsCommaDelimited>
discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 2
