I am trying to setup a . multinode cluster (3 zero and 3 alpha nodes)

First peer configuration below  
Zero configuration  
**ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/dgraph zero -o 1 --my \<vm\_ip\>:5081 --replicas 3 --peer \<zero\_ip\>:5080 --bindall=true --idx 2 --wal /var/run/dgraph/zw**

Alpha configuration  
**ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/dgraph alpha --my \<vm\_ip\>:7081 --lru\_mb 2048 --zero \<zero\_ip\>:5080 -p /var/run/dgraph/p -w /var/run/dgraph/w**

My logs  
**Error while joining cluster: rpc error: code = DeadlineExceeded desc = context deadline exceeded**

My ratel stops functioning and i cannot load the schema or make a query.  
Can anyone help me regarding this.

Thank you.

Also, another error is

**Error: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = all SubConns are in TransientFailure,…ection refused**

You are not using the -o flag here ^ - Also the zero must have the port offset, 5081. Because you used the flag -o 1 when starting the zero instance.

Fix the commands, start from scratch and you’re good to go.
