hey guys! i need a little help here. i am trying to create a cluster with 3 linux machines and a few windows machines, but i want the windows machine to do nothing and that all of the work will be on the linux maching. my question is this: can i configure the windows machine to see the linux servers, and the linux servers will only see thmeselves? will it work? thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Why launching windows ES nodes in that case? May be you want to have client nodes only on windows? If so, change elasticsearch.yml on windows nodes and set node.master: false and node.data: false -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet [https://twitter.com/dadoonet](https://twitter.com/dadoonet) | @elasticsearchfr [https://twitter.com/elasticsearchfr](https://twitter.com/elasticsearchfr) | @scrutmydocs [https://twitter.com/scrutmydocs](https://twitter.com/scrutmydocs) > Le 17 déc. 2014 à 11:02, Gal Artsi [galartsi@gmail.com](mailto:galartsi@gmail.com) a écrit : > > hey guys! i need a little help here. > i am trying to create a cluster with 3 linux machines and a few windows machines, but i want the windows machine to do nothing and that all of the work will be on the linux maching. > my question is this: > can i configure the windows machine to see the linux servers, and the linux servers will only see thmeselves? will it work? > thanks! > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com) [mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > To view this discussion on the web visit [https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/c0002056-65e0-4ed8-abcc-f9a0c467b274%40googlegroups.com](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/c0002056-65e0-4ed8-abcc-f9a0c467b274%40googlegroups.com) [https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/c0002056-65e0-4ed8-abcc-f9a0c467b274%40googlegroups.com?utm\_medium=email&utm\_source=footer](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/c0002056-65e0-4ed8-abcc-f9a0c467b274%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/d/optout](https://groups.google.com/d/optout) [https://groups.google.com/d/optout](https://groups.google.com/d/optout). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

thanks, i'll do so. but i also need to create a lot of windows machines with a local ES installed so each machine will talk to localhost). will my machine be able to talk to linux machine, if their IP's wont be configured there? i want to deploy new windows machines without the need to reconfigure my linux ES.

Should be fine if you configure the Windows nodes as master:no and data:no I read discussion a while ago where a user had a mix of windows and linux machines as data nodes. Worked fine, but it was kinda risky, fine for a short time during a migration or upgrade, but dont do it for a long time.
