Failed to start elasticsearh. Can`t create security index.

[Pupkur]

.opendistro_security index does not exists, attempt to create it ... ERR: An unexpected IllegalArgumentException occured: Validation Failed: 1: this action would add [2] total shards, but this cluster currently has [2670]/[1000] maximum shards open;
Trace:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Validation Failed: 1: this action would add [2] total shards, but this cluster currently has [2670]/[1000] maximum shards open;

And when I`m trying:

curl -k -X PUT https://SERVER_IP:9200/_cluster/settings -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "persistent": { "cluster.max_shards_per_node": "3000" } }'

Got error:
Open Distro Security not initialized.

Hi @Pupkur, try adding the setting to elasticsearch.yml so that you can get the cluster up and running. Then you can adjust as necessary.

Already trying. Not working :( Please take a look at elastic/elasticsearch#40803

Gotcha, that's almost certainly an Elasticsearch bug---unfortunate to get hit by it while you're trying to troubleshoot this issue. If you can, try disabling the security plugin temporarily, setting up the cluster how you'd like, and then re-enabling it. There's a simple toggle in elasticsearch.yml, although you won't be able to use Kibana until you've re-enabled it. https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/security-configuration/disable/
