<p>and I created the cookie with this command:</p>

<pre><code>kubectl create secret generic rabbitmq-config --from-literal=erlang-cookie=c-is-for-cookie-thats-good-enough-for-me
</code></pre>

<p>all of my Kubernetes cluster nodes are ready:</p>

<pre><code>kubectl get nodes

</code></pre>

<p>but after restarting the cluster, the RabbitMQ didn't start. I tried to scale down and up the sts but the problem already exist. The output of <code>kubectl describe pod rabbitmq-0</code>:</p>

Most common reasons for this are:

 * Target node is unreachable (e.g. due to hostname resolution, TCP connection or firewall issues)
 * CLI tool fails to authenticate with the server (e.g. due to CLI tool's Erlang cookie not matching that of the server)
 * Target node is not running

In addition to the diagnostics info below:

 * See the CLI, clustering and networking guides on https://rabbitmq.com/documentation.html to learn more
 * Consult server logs on node rabbit@rabbitmq-0
 * If target node is configured to use long node names, don't forget to use --longnames with CLI tools
