That will make rabbit at CHETANDEV a *ram* node. To make both nodes disk 
nodes the node itself would have to be mentioned in the cluster command 
too, i.e. 'rabbitmqctl cluster rabbit at SHIKHAR rabbit at CHETANDEV'.

You have just stopped and restarted the clusters' only disk node. Rabbit 
clusters won't function properly if they have only ram nodes.

Try running that command against rabbit at SHIKHARM. I suspect it will tell 
you that it only knows about itself.

Anyway, I suggest you change your cluster configuration s.t. both nodes 
are disk nodes.
