### Description Following code works only when I comment out the replication factor = 3 part. When I turn on the replication, the error message is – UnexpectedStatusCodeError: Collection may not have been created properly.! Unexpected status code: 422, with response body: {‘error’: [{‘message’: ‘init sharding state: not enough replicas: found 1 want 3’}]}. We did successfully setup 3 node weaviate server in docker compose. Why there is a sharding involved? and is there anything we missed in configuration? * * * client.connect() client.collections.delete(“GptLists”) GptsVectors = client.collections.create( name=“GptLists”, # Not working yet # replication\_config=wvc.Configure.replication( # factor=3 # ), vectorizer\_config=wvc.Configure.Vectorizer.text2vec\_openai( model=“text-embedding-3-small”, ), generative\_config=wvc.Configure.Generative.openai(), inverted\_index\_config=wvc.Configure.inverted\_index( index\_property\_length=True ), vector\_index\_config=wvc.Configure.VectorIndex.hnsw(), properties=[ wvc.Property(name=“title”, data\_type=wvc.DataType.TEXT), wvc.Property(name=“description”, data\_type=wvc.DataType.TEXT), wvc.Property(name=“prompt\_starters”, data\_type=wvc.DataType.TEXT\_ARRAY), wvc.Property(name=“welcome\_message”, data\_type=wvc.DataType.TEXT), wvc.Property(name=“categories”, data\_type=wvc.DataType.TEXT, skip\_vectorization=True), wvc.Property(name=“language”, data\_type=wvc.DataType.TEXT, skip\_vectorization=True), wvc.Property(name=“conversations”, data\_type=wvc.DataType.INT, skip\_vectorization=True), ], ) ### Server Setup Information - Weaviate Version: 1.23.7 - Deployment Method: Docker Compose - Multi Node? Number of Running Nodes: 3 Node - Used Client Language and Version: Python Client V4 ### Any additional Information ---

Hi @Lawrence_Hope ! Welcome to our community! Can you make sure you see all 3 nodes in your endpoint: [http://localhost:8080/v1/nodes](http://localhost:8080/v1/nodes) Looks like it may not be findinf the other 2 classes, given the error message. ---

## This is what I have in response, looks like only see one node. {“nodes”:[{“batchStats”:{“queueLength”:0,“ratePerSecond”:0},“gitHash”:“d5c2694”,“name”:“weaviate1”,“shards”:null,“stats”:{“objectCount”:0,“shardCount”:1},“status”:“HEALTHY”,“version”:“1.23.7”}]} 200 In the docker-compose file and the log output from weaviate, we did see THREE nodes running up in the SAME IP in SAME machine. But at different port. Here is the abbreviated docker compose: weaviate-1: command: - --host - 0.0.0.0 - --port - ‘8080’ - --scheme - http image: semitechnologies/weaviate:1.23.7 init: true ports: - 8080:8080 - 50051:50051 CLUSTER\_HOSTNAME: ‘weaviate1’ CLUSTER\_GOSSIP\_BIND\_PORT: ‘7100’ CLUSTER\_DATA\_BIND\_PORT: ‘7101’ ## weaviate-2: command: - --host - 0.0.0.0 - --port - ‘8080’ - --scheme - http image: semitechnologies/weaviate:1.23.7 init: true ports: - 8081:8080 - 50052:50051 CLUSTER\_HOSTNAME: ‘weaviate2’ CLUSTER\_GOSSIP\_BIND\_PORT: ‘7102’ CLUSTER\_DATA\_BIND\_PORT: ‘7103’ CLUSTER\_JOIN: ‘weaviate-node-1:7100’ weaviate-3: command: - --host - 0.0.0.0 - --port - ‘8080’ - --scheme - http image: semitechnologies/weaviate:1.23.7 init: true ports: - 8082:8080 - 50053:50051 CLUSTER\_HOSTNAME: ‘weaviate3’ CLUSTER\_GOSSIP\_BIND\_PORT: ‘7104’ CLUSTER\_DATA\_BIND\_PORT: ‘7105’ CLUSTER\_JOIN: ‘weaviate-node-1:7100’ ## By using 8081 and 8082 too. We got this output: {“nodes”:[{“batchStats”:{“queueLength”:0,“ratePerSecond”:0},“gitHash”:“d5c2694”,“name”:“weaviate1”,“shards”:null,“stats”:{“objectCount”:0,“shardCount”:1},“status”:“HEALTHY”,“version”:“1.23.7”}]} 200 {“nodes”:[{“batchStats”:{“queueLength”:0,“ratePerSecond”:0},“gitHash”:“d5c2694”,“name”:“weaviate2”,“shards”:null,“stats”:{“objectCount”:0,“shardCount”:0},“status”:“HEALTHY”,“version”:“1.23.7”}]} 200 {“nodes”:[{“batchStats”:{“queueLength”:0,“ratePerSecond”:0},“gitHash”:“d5c2694”,“name”:“weaviate3”,“shards”:null,“stats”:{“objectCount”:0,“shardCount”:0},“status”:“HEALTHY”,“version”:“1.23.7”}]} 200 I think we are closed to find out true reasons. 😉 ---

That seems to be the issue. Your **weaviate-1** server is not aware of the other nodes. Probably you can see some logs on that on the other clusters. Can you change `CLUSTER_JOIN`on the other containers should point to be like: ## CLUSTER\_JOIN: ‘weaviate-1:7100’ this should be the same name for your weaviate-1 service. Let me know if this helps. ---

It works!!! 🤩 Thank you so much.
