Starting ray head node on the same host with different ports does not start up

Ray Clusters
1

Hello,

I am manually starting the ray cluster with instructions mentioned here:

https://docs.ray.io/en/master/starting-ray.html

starting multiple ray head node on the same host with different port causes below exception:

ConnectionError: Found multiple active Ray instances: {'10.187.57.89:14954', '9.59.194.123:32784'}. Please specify the one to connect to by setting `address`.

Sorry it was ray status command that was complaining,I should run ray status as:
ray status --address host:port
