Hi In 2.x Es we have used the following rerouting command to move the INITIALIZING shard to STARTED state. curl -XPOST "[http://172.19.0.16:9200/\_cluster/reroute](http://172.19.0.16:9200/_cluster/reroute)" -d' { "commands": [{ "allocate": { "index": "fw-dd-2017-06-06", "shard": 1, "node": "172.19.0.16", "allow\_primary": 1 } }] }' I heard ,In ES 5.x they have changed the option to Primary and replica based, Can anyone share the sample syntax in 5.x ---

You shouldn't need to do this. What is making you want to run this command? ---

If in case any hard ware failure s on the particular node, then the shards are like orphan, It's keep on the staus of INTIALIZING for Long days. ---
