First you need to know the error.

- Check your namenode log file, by default located in the following directory /var/log/hadoop/hdfs

run tail -f /var/log/hadoop/hdfs/hadoop-hdfs-namenode*.log . and try to start the service again.

- Check if namenode process was already running on that node with ps -ef | grep namenode
