ConnectTransportException non-master-eligible node found

[SSRR]

I'm configuring Elasticserach 7.9.0 cluster with 2 hosts. The elasticsearch.yml in host1 is setup with node.master as true and host2 is setup with node.master as false.
Both hosts have elasticsearch started but with error in host2. Each node is up and running but they are not communicating with each other. Enabled trace for discovery.

Host1 logs indicate: [2021-03-05T18:49:39,125][TRACE][o.e.d.PeerFinder ] [liferaydev1] probing resolved transport addresses [192.168.253.19:9300]

What is missing in the host1 configuration....please help.
Thank you.

Hi @SSRR
There are some changes in discovery configuration:

1. Look at Discovery | Elasticsearch Reference [7.9] | Elastic

node1:
discovery.seed_hosts: ["ip2:9300"]
node2:
discovery.seed_hosts: ["ip1:9300"]

2. Node | Elasticsearch Reference [7.9] | Elastic
   node.master configuration I think is deprecated according to documentation, instead of use
   node.roles: [ master,data] or node.roles: [data]
3. discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 2 this configuration is deprecated, look at : Breaking changes in 7.0 | Elasticsearch Reference [7.9] | Elastic
   instead of use cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["liferaydev1", "liferaydev2"]
   Note If you want that NODE1 - master only, you should in cluster.inital_master_nodes set only "liferaydev1" value.

Thank you so much for the suggestions.
I changed to
'cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node1_name"]'

Kept these same, though deprecated in Elasticsearch 7.9:

1. 'node.master=' same as before in node1 and node2.
2. 'discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 2' same as before in node1 and node2
   and it worked.
