Elasticsearch version 7.7.1 We have the following setup in our elastic environment. 3 master only 2 ingest only 2 hot nodes (hot-1-p1 and hot-2-p1) 2 warm nodes (warm-1-p1 and warm-2-p1) 1 cold node (cold-p1) ```auto master node configuration routing: allocation: enable: all awareness.attributes: rack_id disk.watermark.low: 80% disk.watermark.high: 85% disk.watermark.flood_stage: 88% hot node configuration node: name: hot-1-p1 #hot-2-p1 for the second attr.rack: hot attr.rack_id: hot attr.box_type: hot attr.data: hot master: false data: true ingest: false warm node configuration node: name: warm-1-p1 #warm-2-p1 for the second attr.rack: warm attr.rack_id: warm attr.box_type: warm attr.data: warm master: false data: true ingest: false cold node configuration node: name: cold-p1 attr.rack: cold attr.rack_id: cold attr.box_type: cold attr.data: cold master: false data: true ingest: false index template setup.template.settings: index.number_of_shards:1 index.number_of_replicas: 1 ``` I am trying to create 1 primary and 1 replica shard but the replica is being created in warm node. Is it possible to create the 1 primary to "hot-1 or hot-2" and the replica to "hot-2 or hot-1"? ---

You need to add the filtering attribution to the index as well, check out [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.10/shard-allocation-filtering.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.10/shard-allocation-filtering.html) ---

Sorry but i can only upload images since copy/paste is disabled between my computer and the server. ![1-20-2021 9-10-31 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/8/088c9a8dace928e14dffb60c8bc29e732038066f.png) ![1-20-2021 9-11-12 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/1/d174f86d71674c48b3c499c5109489fc90096bbd.png) ![1-20-2021 9-11-43 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/3/a3f4fcf3fcfe6cd3d28652aba82e01b0bfc347af.png) EDITED: I may need to remove some of the attr in the yml file and experiment with the filtering. ---

Ok, i finally figured it out. It was the awareness that was causing the trouble and "maybe" the other attributes. On the master nodes elasticsearch.yml, i removed "routing.allocation.awareness.attributes". On the data nodes (hot/warm/cold), i only retained "node.attr.data" On the index templates, i changed it to "index.routing.allocation.require.data: hot" ![1-20-2021 12-44-16 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/a/4ac1b5c8c6f71f0b44895102f0142be7a2d81352.png) Thanks for the assistance. ---
