I closed my index and reopen it and now my shards can't assigne.

```
curl -s -XGET localhost:9201/_cat/shards?h=index,shard,prirep,state,unassigned.reason | grep UNASSIGNED
2018.03.27-team-logs 2 r UNASSIGNED INDEX_REOPENED
2018.03.27-team-logs 5 r UNASSIGNED INDEX_REOPENED
2018.03.27-team-logs 3 r UNASSIGNED INDEX_REOPENED
2018.03.27-team-logs 4 r UNASSIGNED INDEX_REOPENED
2018.03.27-team-logs 1 r UNASSIGNED INDEX_REOPENED
2018.03.27-team-logs 0 r UNASSIGNED INDEX_REOPENED
2018.03.28-team-logs 2 r UNASSIGNED INDEX_REOPENED
2018.03.28-team-logs 5 r UNASSIGNED INDEX_REOPENED
2018.03.28-team-logs 3 r UNASSIGNED INDEX_REOPENED
2018.03.28-team-logs 4 r UNASSIGNED INDEX_REOPENED
2018.03.28-team-logs 1 r UNASSIGNED INDEX_REOPENED
2018.03.28-team-logs 0 r UNASSIGNED INDEX_REOPENED

```

Could anybody explain me what does error means and how to solve it? Before I closed it everything works fine. I configured 6 shards and 1 replica. Installed Elasticsearch 6.2.
