My ES cluster got 3 hot nodes and 1 cold node 1 primary shard and 1 replica for each index. I create a two tier ilm policy. Hot and Cold index move to cold node when it is in cold tier. However, I find my prirep: p is in cold node. And prirep: r located in one of the hot node. What I expected is only a copy of index located in cold node. I don't know what's going wrong. Any idea? ---

Did you set num of replicas to 0 for cold phase? Looks like you did not so elastic still see pro and rep shard which can not live on same node.. ---
