Hello, I am learning ES fro a while now, the standalone version is working without any issue but now I want to built a Cluster over Virtualbox and am failing again and again. This is what I have done up to now: Oracle Virtual box on Windows 7 Host Guest =\> CentOS 6.2 minimal, with ElasticSearch installed, SSH installed and different VMs are able to ping on guest 2 network interfaces are configured: NAT and Host Only. I want to use the 2nd interface (host only) for the cluster, it has DHCP enabled and my machines have IP addresses 192.168.56.102, 103, 104 and so on. If I run the ES with default settings it works on eth0 i.e. 10.0.0.15 for all default by VBox. So i changed the "network.publish\_host" to "_eth1:ipv4_" and getting the 2nd interface properly. But, the problem is that still all the VMs are working separately and not in a cluster. [http://localhost:9200/\_nodes](http://localhost:9200/_nodes) gives me transport\_address : inet[/192.168.56.102:9300] and http\_address : inet[/192.168.56.102:9200] transport\_address : inet[/192.168.56.103:9300] and http\_address : inet[/192.168.56.103:9200] transport\_address : inet[/192.168.56.104:9300] and http\_address : inet[/192.168.56.104:9200] for each machine [http://localhost:9200/\_cluster/health](http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health) shows status: yellow no of nodes : 1 All machines can ping each other and I have tested the file transfer via scp too all is working What am i missing? Regards Junaid ---
