We have total 6 nodes in our cluster, when i tried to assign an unassigned shards as below I get the following error  
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/\_cluster/reroute' -d '{  
"commands" : [ {  
"allocate" : {  
"index" : "vts\_companydirectory\_20170625\_2040",  
"shard" : 32,  
"node" : "10.0.2.75"  
}  
}  
]  
}'
