Hello sir , i think you are not getting me i am running like ./bin/elasticsearch -d -Ecluster.name=my\_cluster -Enode.name=node\_1 and it's create node as well but issue is that when i close the terminal where i fired the above command then my node get deleted ---

That's not how it works. Read: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/settings.html#\_config\_file\_location](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/settings.html#_config_file_location) Also I just realized that you have a small Heap size.

so can't create multiple yml file for each node ? and this is heap size -Xms256m -Xmx256m i have to change if i increase then it's give error ---

You can. Just follow the explanations I linked to. About memory and all that: why do you want to run more than one node if you can't give at least 1gb per node? ---

What other nodes? * * * This is really confusing. I have no idea if someone else understand what you are describing. Sometimes you say that you want to start more than one node on the same machine. I'm asking why you want to do that but you don't answer to this question. Then I'm telling you that you probably modified the JVM options but you don't really mentioned it at the beginning. I told you to leave the default jvm settings and you told me that you can't because this is generating an error which you did not share although I asked for it. So let me restart from the beginning assuming that you are doing tests and not production. Remove all existing previous installation of elasticsearch Download elasticsearch tar.gz distribution Uncompress it Then run `bin/elasticsearch` and that's all. If this is not working please share your logs. Again, if you are doing tests, just keep your terminal open until you finished your test, then quit elasticsearch and close the terminal. If after having one node running successfully, you want (for tests only) run another node on your machine, run in another terminal: ```auto bin/elasticsearch --Epath.data=./data2 --Epath.logs=./logs2 ``` That should be ok. Don't close the terminal. * * * If what you want to do is totally different than a test or what I described, please tell us what you want to do. I'm afraid I can't help if I don't know what problems you are trying to solve here. ---

sir , i have issue at start of the chat then i solve many of these myself by research so clear all from your mind now here is the issue when i reboot the server then default node is there other nodes goes deleted why i want to create multiple nodes i want to test this multiple nodes to store data and performed the test why i need to reboot the server i am not doing that but i am thinking about the future then some update perform on server and need reboot so that's my big problem about the data lost please try to understand only this message remove old from your mind thanks ---
**Author:** ![dadoonet](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/user_avatar/discuss.elastic.co/dadoonet/32/137187_2.png) [@dadoonet](https://discuss.elastic.co/u/dadoonet)\ **Post date:** [May 24, 2017, 12:28pm UTC](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/when-add-new-node-in-elasticsearch-5-4-old-node-deleted/86436/40 "2017-05-24T12:28:35Z")
Let's look at every point: > when i reboot the server then default node is there other nodes goes deleted What are the other nodes? You are supposed to launch only one node per physical machine unless you have more 64 gb of RAM on your machine. Do you have more than 64Gb of RAM? > why i want to create multiple nodes > i want to test this multiple nodes to store data and performed the test Ok. So it's a test. Then just start nodes from the command line as I explained. Then close the nodes after your tests. You don't need to run elasticsearch as a service in the context of tests. > why i need to reboot the server > i am not doing that but i am thinking about the future then some update perform on server and need reboot In that case, install elasticsearch as a service. If you have a Debian based, read: [Install Elasticsearch with Debian Package | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/deb.html) If you have a Redhat based, read: [Install Elasticsearch with RPM | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/rpm.html) But don't install multiple elasticsearch instances as a service. It won't make sense. Instead, start another physical server and install again elasticsearch as a service on it. Then, any time you will reboot your machine, elasticsearch will be restarted as it is a service.
