I have 3 elasticsearch nodes, nodes 1 and 2 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.6 ) are configured as master, I try to start the service and it only starts node 3 which is data only, nodes 1 and 2 show the following in the log:

```auto
systemctl start elasticsearch
Job for elasticsearch.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.
See "systemctl status elasticsearch.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

```
