</P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#000080" FACE="Arial Narrow">I've been able to instantiate multiple nodes and execute vis on them. However, this is only possible when I specify the port to be used by each non-bootstrap node with the exception of the first non-bootstrap. Here is a series of commands to better explain the problem:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#000080" FACE="Arial Narrow">>start-dhash --root dhash-a -j hostname:portX -p port (bootstrap works ok)</FONT>
<BR><FONT COLOR="#000080" FACE="Arial Narrow">>start-dhash --root dhash-b -j hostname:portX (first non-bootstrap works ok)</FONT>
<BR><FONT COLOR="#000080" FACE="Arial Narrow">>start-dhash --root dhash-c -j hostname:portX (second non-bootstrap does NOT work, does come up but is quickly terminated)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#000080" FACE="Arial Narrow">I can instantiate multiple nodes with the following cmds, only diff is the port is specified:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#000080" FACE="Arial Narrow">>start-dhash --root dhash-a -j hostname:portX -p port (boot strap works ok)</FONT>
<BR><FONT COLOR="#000080" FACE="Arial Narrow">>start-dhash --root dhash-b -j hostname:portX (first non-bootstrap works ok)</FONT>
<BR><FONT COLOR="#000080" FACE="Arial Narrow">>start-dhash --root dhash-c -j hostname:portX -p yyy (second non-bootstrap WORKS)</FONT>
<BR><FONT COLOR="#000080" FACE="Arial Narrow">>start-dhash --root dhash-d -j hostname:portX -p xxx (third non-bootstrap WORKS)</FONT>
<BR><FONT COLOR="#000080" FACE="Arial Narrow">>… fourth bootstrap works ok... and so on</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#000080" FACE="Arial Narrow">The log.lsd does show there was a random port assigned at some point before it was deleted. As mentioned, it does come up briefly for 3 to 5 seconds.</FONT></P>
