Kubeadm alpha phase mark-master timeout

I am following the official document https://v1-11.docs.kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/high-availability/ to setup a kubeadm cluster in the ubuntu 16.4 environment.

When running kubeadm alpha phase mark-master --config kubeadm-config.yaml It hangs and give the following out put

[markmaster] Marking the node kb8-master2 as master by adding the label “node-role.kubernetes.io/master=’’” [markmaster] Marking the node kb8-master2 as master by adding the taints [node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule] timed out waiting for the condition

Could not go further without solving this. Is anyone else face the same issue.

I need to do the certification and need to solve this to go further.
