two name nodes are stand by after configuring HA - hadoop

Question

i have configured high availability in my cluster
which consists of three nodes
hadoop-master(192.168.4.128)(name node)
hadoop-slave-1(192.168.4.111) (another name node )
hadoop-slave-2 (192.168.4.106) (data node)
without formatting name node ( converting a non-HA-enabled cluster to be HA-enabled) as described here
https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/stable/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HDFSHighAvailabilityWithQJM.html
but i got two name nodes working as standby
so i tried to move the transition of one of these two nodes to active by applying the following command
hdfs haadmin -transitionToActive mycluster --forcemanual
with the following out put
17/04/03 08:07:35 WARN ha.HAAdmin: Proceeding with manual HA state management even though
automatic failover is enabled for NameNode at hadoop-master/192.168.4.128:8020
17/04/03 08:07:36 WARN ha.HAAdmin: Proceeding with manual HA state management even though
automatic failover is enabled for NameNode at hadoop-slave-1/192.168.4.111:8020

what should the service address value be ? and what are possible solutions i can apply in order
to turn on one name node of the two nodes to active state ?
note the zookeeper server on all three nodes is stopped

Answer 1

I met the same issue, and it turn out that I didn't format zookeeper and start ZKFC
