I am new to elastic-search and trying to create a cluster using nodes present in multiple different server. Node 1 gets started but in node 2 i get error as:not enough master nodes discovered. I read many blogs on same but couldn't find the solution.

Node1(elasticsearch.yml):

cluster.name: hits  
node.name: "node1"  
node.master: true  
node.data: true  
network.host: 127.11.11.1  
http.port : 9210  
transport.tcp.port : 9300-9400  
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["127.11.11.1"]

Node 2:  
cluster.name: hits  
node.name: "node2"  
node.master: false  
node.data: true  
network.host: 127.11.11.1  
http.port : 9211  
transport.tcp.port : 9300-9400  
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["127.11.11.1:9210"]

Whats wrong in the configuration ?

Thanks in advance!!!

I believe the issue is that you used the http port instead of the transport port in `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts` on `node2`. Passing just `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["127.11.11.1"]` should work.
