Hi, 

Im receiving an error in my CM when I go to input  

./splunk edit cluster-config -mode slave -master_uri http://url:8089 -replication_port 8080 -secret xxxxxxx
 
that says cannot contact master. I've tried everything, reviewed my configurations and still doesnt work. HelP!

Hi @jan ,

as also @PickleRick said: it seems that you want to configure a CM as a slave and it isn't possible, maybe you runned the wrong command.

Ciao.

Wait a second. That's a bit self-contradicting. You want to configure your CM to be a slave?
