error zookeeper

When does this happen? Where the nodes already in a cluster? 

If there was no cluster first create one with: 

cluster -s 172.20.1.158,172.20.1.159,172.20.1.161,172.20.1.162,172.20.1.163 create

(please add all cvm ips in the list ;)) 

El prisma central no responde ni por web y ssh, cual seria una opción de iniciar la maquina 172.20.1.83 que es la ip correspondiente al prism. se ejecuto el comando el resultado

Can you please describe the environment? 

Are these newly build ce nodes? Or where there nodes already running in a cluster?

Is this nested (in vmware or something else) or is this bare metal deployment? 

es una implementación sobre dell, estaba funcional pero hace unos días dejo de funcionar al dar cluster status genera esto.

Ahh oke. Looks like there is something changed at the netwerk level.

Is this CE or commercial version? If commercial, involve nutanix support. If CE then look at the network. Make sure the hosts and cvms can talk to each other.
