We are setting up 3 node Elasticsearch cluster using 7.17, while configuring the cluster we are getting this error message:  
master not discovered yet, this node has not previously joined a bootstrapped (v7+) cluster, and this node must discover master-eligible nodes [FQDN] to bootstrap a cluster: have discovered [{hostname}{wm375WvbT0y-Ck1m6sMT\_A}{VjdyrWPaS-qnUlEq6kcEKg}{IP}{IP :9300}{cdfhilmrstw}]; discovery will continue using [Node 2 IP :9300, Node 3 IP :9300] from hosts providers and [{Hostname}

Any suggestion what might be the issue ?

Hi @ak9234 ,

did you follow the guide [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery-bootstrap-cluster.html), in particular did you setup `initial_master_nodes` for the initial bootstrap of the cluster?
