How do I set up 2 peer nodes in my environment?

Hello, I'm trying to set up 2 peer nodes in my environment, however, every time I go and enable the peer node it gives me this error: Could not contact manager. Check that the manager is up, the manager_uri=https://54.234.232.103:8089 and secret are specified correctly. I know that the security key is correct, port 8089 is open, I'm sure its the correct IP, and the peer replication port 9887 that I'm using is available. It's driven me crazy please help.

Hi

have you followed these instructions https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.5/Indexer/Clusterdeploymentoverview. With those you should have working single site cluster.

Of course it needs that you have opened firewalls (both network and host levels) if those are in use. Also your dns should work and I definitely prefer to use FQDN instead of pure IPs when defining cluster!
