Hello Team,  
I am planning to spin up 3 nodes (node1,node2,node3) elasticsearch cluster in a single vm. I am using ip address of the machine for network host.  
getting the below errors in logs, master not discovered or elected yet.

## elasticsearch.yml

network.host: 171.25.87.174  
http.cors.enabled: true  
discovery.seed\_hosts: ["171.25.87.174"]  
cluster.initial\_master\_nodes: ["xxxnode1", "xxxnode2", "xxxnode3"]

## startup.sh

./bin/elasticsearch -d -Enode.name=xxxnode1 -Epath.data=/data/elasticsearch-7.4.2/data/node\_1 -Epath.logs=/data/elasticsearch-7.4.2/logs/IBNextGen1 -Enode.master=true -Ehttp.port=15011  
./bin/elasticsearch -d -Enode.name=xxxnode2 -Epath.data=/data/elasticsearch-7.4.2/data/node\_2 -Epath.logs=/data/elasticsearch-7.4.2/logs/IBNextGen2 -Enode.master=false -Ehttp.port=15012  
./bin/elasticsearch -d -Enode.name=xxxnode3 -Epath.data=/data/elasticsearch-7.4.2/data/node\_3 -Epath.logs=/data/elasticsearch-7.4.2/logs/IBNextGen3 -Enode.master=false -Ehttp.port=15013

Errors from logs:
