Hi All, I am trying to setup a ES cluster over windows virtual machine on windows azure using uni cast. I think I have made all required configuration changes, but still my ES nodes do not form cluster. Between I can ping one machine from another, does that mean its not a firewall issue? Here is my elasticseach.yml configurations =======Noed 8======= [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): elasticsearch [node.name](http://node.name): NODE8 node.data: true network.host: "10.249.167.8" network.publish\_host: "10.249.167.8" network.bind: "10.249.167.8" discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["10.249.167.9", "10.249.167.10", "10.249.167.8"] transport.tcp.port: 9300 =======Node9 Config======== [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): elasticsearch [node.name](http://node.name): NODE9 node.data: true network.host: "10.249.167.9" network.publish\_host: "10.249.167.9" network.bind: "10.249.167.9" discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["10.249.167.9", "10.249.167.10", "10.249.167.8"] transport.tcp.port: 9300 I can query both ES node individually, but they dont form cluster Node 8 Get : [http://10.249.167.8:9200/\_cat/nodes?h=ip,port,heapPercent,name](http://10.249.167.8:9200/_cat/nodes?h=ip,port,heapPercent,name) 10.249.167.8 9300 2 Cecilia Reyes Node 9 Get : [http://10.249.167.9:9200/\_cat/nodes?h=ip,port,heapPercent,name](http://10.249.167.9:9200/_cat/nodes?h=ip,port,heapPercent,name) 10.249.167.9 9300 9 Victorius Following are the startup logs, any help would be appreciated a ton, I am stuck on this for a while now:( [2016-02-13 01:08:06,395][WARN][bootstrap] unable to install syscall filter: syscall filtering not supported for OS: 'Windows Server 2012 R2' [2016-02-13 01:08:06,645][INFO][node] [NODE8] version[2.1.1], pid[7628], build[40e2c53/2015-12-15T13:05:55Z] [2016-02-13 01:08:06,645][INFO][node] [NODE8] initializing ...

Have you set minimum\_master\_nodes to the correct value (2 if you have 3 master eligible nodes)? ---

Is the inbound traffic from external hosts to port 9300 available? ---
