Single Weaviate unable to connect

hi @gadey_karthik !!

Not sure I understood the sequence you described.

But consider that you can run two weaviates at the same VM (running on different ports) or you can run two separate VMs, each one with different IPs.

The logs you shared indicate that this node is trying to join a non existent cluster :thinking:

Do you see the same output if using 1.26.latest or 1.27.latest?
