I have 5 nodes in my cluster (I have set replicas to 0 for now), the status  
is not moving from red:

curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_cluster/health?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true)'  
{  
"cluster\_name" : "my-cluster",  
"status" : "red",  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"number\_of\_nodes" : 5,  
"number\_of\_data\_nodes" : 5,  
"active\_primary\_shards" : 0,  
"active\_shards" : 0,  
"relocating\_shards" : 0,  
"initializing\_shards" : 0,  
"unassigned\_shards" : 5  
}

active\_shards:0 and unassinged\_shards:5 can't be good

There is only a warn in the logs:

[WARN][discovery] [Running Man] waited for 30s and no initial stat

All of the nodes have joined the cluster, and I can't see errors in any of  
the node's logs but a search query gives the following error:

{"error":"SearchPhaseExecutionException[Failed to execute phase [query],  
all shards failed]","status":503}

any ideas on how to resolve this?
