Symptoms

One or more of the nodes fail to start up, the web UI for the node says either or both of the following:

  • JIRA is configured with a cluster.properties file, but the node ID is not set.
  • JIRA is configured with a cluster.properties file, but the shared home directory is not set.

The following appears in the atlassian-jira.log:

Cause

The cluster.properties file under the local <JIRA-HOME> is missing or not readable by the user running JIRA. 

Resolution

  • Make sure the cluster.properties file is readable by the user running JIRA on the cluster node.
  • Make sure it has the node id and the shared home properly defined.
