I am new to Kubernetes, so some of my questions may be basic.

My setup: 2 VM (running Ubuntu 16.04.2)

Kubernetes Version: 1.7.1 on both Master Node(kube4local) and Slave Node(kube5local) My Steps: 1. On both Master and Slave Nodes, installed the required kubernetes(kubelet kubeadm kubectl kubernetes-cni) packages and docker(docker.io) packages. On the Master Node: 1.

vagrant@kube4local:~$ sudo kubeadm init

Your Kubernetes master has initialized successfully!

To start using your cluster, you need to run (as a regular user):

  mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
  sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
  sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config

You should now deploy a pod network to the cluster.
Run "kubectl apply -f [podnetwork].yaml" with one of the options listed at:
  http://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/addons/

You can now join any number of machines by running the following on each node
as root:

  kubeadm join --token 3c68b6.8c3f8d5a0a29a3ac 10.0.2.15:6443

vagrant@kube4local:~$ mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
vagrant@kube4local:~$ sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
vagrant@kube4local:~$ sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config
vagrant@kube4local:~$ sudo kubectl apply -f "https://cloud.weave.works/k8s/net?k8s-version=$(kubectl version | base64 | tr -d '\n')"
serviceaccount "weave-net" created
clusterrole "weave-net" created
clusterrolebinding "weave-net" created
daemonset "weave-net" created

On the Slave Node:

Note: I am able to do a basic ping test, and ssh, scp commands between the master node running in VM1 and slave node running in VM2 works fine.

Ran the join command. Output of join command in slave node:

vagrant@kube5local:~$ sudo kubeadm join --token 3c68b6.8c3f8d5a0a29a3ac 10.0.2.15:6443
[kubeadm] WARNING: kubeadm is in beta, please do not use it for production clusters.

[preflight] WARNING: hostname "" could not be reached
[preflight] WARNING: hostname "" lookup : no such host
[preflight] Some fatal errors occurred:
        hostname "" a DNS-1123 subdomain must consist of lower case alphanumeric characters, '-' or '.', and must start and end with an alphanumeric character (e.g. 'example.com', regex used for validation is '[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?(\.[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?)*')
[preflight] If you know what you are doing, you can skip pre-flight checks with `--skip-preflight-checks`

Why i get this error, my /etc/hosts correct:

[preflight] WARNING: hostname "" could not be reached
[preflight] WARNING: hostname "" lookup : no such host

Output of Status Commands On the Master Node:

vagrant@kube4local:~$ sudo kubectl cluster-info
Kubernetes master is running at https://10.0.2.15:6443

vagrant@kube4local:~$ sudo kubectl get nodes
NAME         STATUS    AGE       VERSION
kube4local   Ready     26m       v1.7.1

To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.
