Error when submitting toplogy

I was investigating an issue with my storm deployment and came across this posting

More specifically this error

This had me stumped for some time.  I tried everything suggested in the original post to no avail.

I eventually solved the issue.  Basically I had multiple Nimbus daemons running in the cluster (this is my first deployment..).

So I now have only 1 daemon running (I also only have one drpc instance running on the master).  And after deleting the contents of storms home folder (nimbus/supervisor directories) I was able to overcome this issue.

I thought it would be worth posting this (somehow..) hopefully this is the right way
