HI All,

I am trying to setup elasticsearch cluster for production environment.  
creating cluster in local environment where i used single physical system  
has been succesfull. When i tried the same in 2 different physical server  
they are not forming cluster while using multicast feature of it. So i  
turned down to unicast where i mentioned all the instances(host + port)  
facing error of _routeToNetwork_ in case transport port nos.

Has anyone tried setup of elasticsearch cluster on different physical  
machines. Need urgent help on this.

Thanks  
Gurunath Pai.

Sounds like you have network issues (firewall?) and that your machines can not talk to each other on default 9300 TCP port?

Thanks David, yes both these systems are of production and transport layer  
uses http connection. Is secure connection possible among the physical, If  
yes then any reference doc will be helpfull.

If you meant "how to secure communication between nodes?", you could look at Shield project.
