Hello Team, I have two instances in same host, In one instance data already loaded without any extra node connected to that.. Then after for to create cluster, changes made in Node 1 as: [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): elasticsearch [node.name](http://node.name): node1 node.master: true node.data: true http:port: 9200 tcp.port: 9300 discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: [“192.168.1.59:9300”,”192.168.1.59:9301”] changes made in Node2 elasticsearch.yml file: [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): elasticsearch [node.name](http://node.name): node2 node.master: true node.data: true http:port: 9201 tcp.port: 9301 discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: [“192.168.1.59:9300”,”192.168.1.59:9301”] Then I have started node 1 and the started node 2 when I check for cluster health status as: GET \_cluster/health?pretty=true: Response: "cluster\_name": "elasticsearch", "status": "yellow", "timed\_out": false, "number\_of\_nodes": 2, "number\_of\_data\_nodes": 2, "active\_primary\_shards": 45, "active\_shards": 45, "relocating\_shards": 0, "initializing\_shards": 0, "unassigned\_shards": 45, "number\_of\_pending\_tasks": 0 The same response am seeing in 192.168.1.59:9200, 192.168.1.59:9201.. May I know why the cluster is not making its status to green even though it have more than 1 node connected in a host????? ---

Is there anything in the ES logs that would indicate why ES isn't able to assign shards to the newly added node? Is there ample disk space on that node? ---

Hi Magnus, Thanks for your response. In logs am unable to see anything,, may I know what is ample disk space and why do we need to consider that??? And how to check that ample disk space???? ---

One more to Say that both nodes 192.168.1.59:9200 and 192.168.1.59:9201 are accessable (able to get data from both nodes, which seems like both are communicating).. But unable to make them Green state... ---

> may I know what is ample disk space and why do we need to consider that??? Elasticsearch will refuse to allocate shards on node with less than 15% free space on the partition that's supposed to contain the ES data. See [Disk-based shard allocation | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/disk-allocator.html). > And how to check that ample disk space???? With the `df` tool, for example. ---
