After deploying a search head cluster, I have a problem with searching anything. SHcluster status is up, but when I logged on each shcluster members, I've noticed in "Distributed environment" -> "Distributed search" -> "Search peers" that authentication to my two indexers failed. In server.conf on each member, pass4SymmKey in [general] stanza and [shclustering] stanza is the same. Has anyone had a similar problem?

and I had to change shcluster's member server name in inputs.conf and server.conf, because were duplicated for some hosts in the cluster. After that the problem disaperaed
