I also notice that in the /conf/zoo.cfg file the servers are being added out of order, but the /data/myid files are all correct server id.
For example, it's showing as: server.2=<fqdn of zoo2>:2888:3888:participant server.3=<fqdn of zoo2>:2888:3888:participant server.1=<fqdn of zoo1>:2888:3888:participant But I would expect it to be: server.1=<fqdn of zoo1>:2888:3888:participant server.2=<fqdn of zoo2>:2888:3888:participant server.3=<fqdn of zoo2>:2888:3888:participant Is that an indication of an underlying issue? -- Sent from: http://zookeeper-user.578899.n2.nabble.com/
