There is nothing we can tell from that.  
May be elasticsearch logs are telling you more about what is happening?

Thanks for the answer.

But let me know what might be the root cause, if the repository is not properly created.

Look in the Elasticsearch logs. One possibility is that you have not defined ‘path.repo’ correctly in your elasticsearch.yml file or that that path is not shared and available across all nodes in the cluster (if you have more than one node).
