I have given all the configurations as per this document. Using the same installation steps, while I have installed on one machine successfully. The other machine is showing the following error while starting the namenode

Did you see this: stackoverflow.com/questions/2366270/… ? - Matt
Have you tried the solution here stackoverflow.com/questions/29583699/… - mbaxi
So am i supposed to not use UNC url's in those xml files, is the way to give path locally just '<value>/home/hadoop/hadoopdata/hdfs/namenode<value>' . I couldnt find how to give file uri without unc conventions. - Codex
I dont think the issue is with the way you have defined the path, that seems correct to me, but in your steps to install there is no steps to disable ipv6..can you try that out and see - mbaxi

thanks for the suggestions. It turned out to be a blooper, I have put only two /'s instead of three as given in the document for the URI. It works now !
