What is in different storage file?
All data-nodes should have different configuration files, and each 
configuration file
should set a different storage directory property: "dfs.data.dir"
It is not a file, it is directory with all data-blocks.

They do not SELF shut down. They are asked to shut down by the name-node
because there is a mismatch between previously registered ip address and 
storage ids.

According to the exception in your previous email, the data-node with ip address
192.168.10.7:50010 is trying to report a block on behalf of the node which is 
registered
under ip address 192.168.10.6:50010.
The funny thing is that their storage id 
DS-1812686469-192.168.10.5-50010-1211793342121
was created by yet another node 192.168.10.5:50010

I can only guess that VMWare somehow changes ip addresses on the fly.
Try to run data-nodes on different ports: 50011-14, then at least you will know 
which one is talking now.

Is it possible that your different data-nodes point to the same storage
directory on
the hard drive? If so one of the data-nodes will be shut down.



In general this is impossible because storage directories are locked once
one of the nodes
claims them under its authority. But I don't know whether this work in
VMWare environment.



No , it is in different storage file.

Is it because of network problem ?
The VMWare-simulated network sometimes inter-ping time out because of host
server's high load.
Is it because of the network temporarily unavailable(for some seconds) ,
results in the data-nodes self shut down ?
