Thanks for the suggestion, but I had already started the process which Alex had mentioned and DEF is started with ABC. How can we know whether DEF is synced ? the data/version-2 dir is empty, i guess i need to wait till it gets some data there?

On all b_i, edit /etc/zookeeper/zoo.cfg to reflect the correct IP addresses 5 start all b_i This is assuming that stopping ZK server is ok in our environment. -Vishal On Thu, May 12, 2011 at 2:07 AM, Murali Krishna.
