Is there any documentation that mention how this is done. All the webpages that I can find out there cannot work. Is this feature still available on elasticsearch? If yes. Can someone point me to the right place? ---

These are my settings on the two different server **Server 1** [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): ClusterTest [node.name](http://node.name): node-1 node.master: true network.host: 192.168.1.109 transport.tcp.port: 9300 discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["192.168.1.109", "192.168.1.94:9200"] **Server 2** [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): ClusterTest [node.name](http://node.name): node-2 node.master: true network.host: 192.168.1.109 transport.tcp.port: 9300 discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["192.168.1.109", "192.168.1.94:9200"] ---

As you have 2 master eligible nodes, have you set [minimum\_master\_nodes](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.2/modules-node.html#split-brain) to 2 in the cluster? > [@gringo](#): > > discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["192.168.1.109", "192.168.1.94:9200"] This should connect on port 9300, not 9200 (which is for HTTP). ---

On both servers. It is a cluster wide setting. ---

What should I see if it is working. Below is my latest configuration. I am hoping to see data being accessible from both servers [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): ClusterTest [node.name](http://node.name): node-1 node.master: true network.host: 10.0.0.52 transport.tcp.port: 9200 discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["10.0.0.52", "10.0.0.53:9300"] discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes: 2 ClusterTest: [node.name](http://node.name): node-5 network.host: 10.0.0.53 #node.master: false transport.tcp.port: 9200 discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["10.0.0.53", "10.0.0.52:9300"] discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes: 2 ---

If it works then `_cat/nodes` will list more than one. ---

Is this correct now? [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): ClusterTest [node.name](http://node.name): node-1 node.master: true network.host: 10.0.0.52 transport.tcp.port: 9300 discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["10.0.0.52", "10.0.0.53:9300"] discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes: 2 [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): ClusterTest [node.name](http://node.name): node-5 network.host: 10.0.0.53 #node.master: false transport.tcp.port: 9300 discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["10.0.0.52", "10.0.0.52:9300"] discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes: 2 ---

I wouldn't bother even declaring `transport.tcp.port`, just leave it out. ---

Do you have some working samples? Nothing online seems to work on my systems ---

With 2.X all you need is to set these; ```auto cluster.name: node.name: network.host: discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: [""] discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: ``` ---

It looks like it's a 2-node cluster and you have discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes set to 2, this means the second node, node-5, must have node.master set to true so you'll have two master+data node in the cluster. Without the second master, it won't work. Alternatively, for testing, you can set discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes to 1 for both node-1 and node-5 and as long as node-1 has node.master set to true, the cluster should go up with no problem. ---

Still does not work. Giving up. Concluding that multiple node across different server is supported ---

You're right, it is supported. Maybe you have a firewall or something in place? [Next page](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/create-cluster-with-nodes-in-different-server/42977.md?page=2)
