If the exact text was "ALOOCATED_PORT" then replacing them with "ALLOCATED_PORT" might solve it.
Otherwise, whats the version of Slider are you using? ________________________________________ From: Nitin Aggarwal <nitin3588.aggar...@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, March 30, 2015 9:51 AM To: dev@slider.incubator.apache.org Subject: Invalid port 0 for storm instances Hi, I am trying to run storm cluster with 200 instances, using Slider. While submitting topologies to the cluster, some of the workers failed to start due to error. 2015-03-27T13:27:40.168-0400 b.s.event [ERROR] Error when processing event java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: invalid port: 0 at backtype.storm.security.auth.ThriftClient.<init>(ThriftClient.java:54) ~[storm-core-0.9.4-SNAPSHOT.jar:0.9.4-SNAPSHOT] at backtype.storm.utils.NimbusClient.<init>(NimbusClient.java:47) ~[storm-core-0.9.4-SNAPSHOT.jar:0.9.4-SNAPSHOT] at backtype.storm.utils.NimbusClient.<init>(NimbusClient.java:43) ~[storm-core-0.9.4-SNAPSHOT.jar:0.9.4-SNAPSHOT] at backtype.storm.utils.NimbusClient.getConfiguredClient(NimbusClient.java:36) ~[storm-core-0.9.4-SNAPSHOT.jar:0.9.4-SNAPSHOT] at backtype.storm.utils.Utils.downloadFromMaster(Utils.java:253) ~[storm-core-0.9.4-SNAPSHOT.jar:0.9.4-SNAPSHOT] at backtype.storm.daemon.supervisor$fn__6900.invoke(supervisor.clj:482) ~[storm-core-0.9.4-SNAPSHOT.jar:0.9.4-SNAPSHOT] at clojure.lang.MultiFn.invoke(MultiFn.java:241) ~[clojure-1.5.1.jar:na] at backtype.storm.daemon.supervisor$mk_synchronize_supervisor$this__6820.invoke(supervisor.clj:371) ~[storm-core-0.9.4-SNAPSHOT.jar:0.9.4-SNAPSHOT] at backtype.storm.event$event_manager$fn__2825.invoke(event.clj:40) ~[storm-core-0.9.4-SNAPSHOT.jar:0.9.4-SNAPSHOT] at clojure.lang.AFn.run(AFn.java:24) [clojure-1.5.1.jar:na] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:724) [na:1.7.0_40] I found that some of the supervisors don't have the correct configurations. Their configuration, still have markers like ${NIMBUS_HOST}, ${NIMBUS.ALOOCATED_PORT}. Are these markers expected in supervisor storm configuration ? Thanks Nitin
