I am getting below error during Greenplum database initialisation step. Using 3 hosts including primary host and two segment without a standby primary. 3 segments folders already existing in both of the segment nodes. 2 segments from node1 is started but 1 failed, for node 2 all three failed. What I am missing?

I tried reinitialisation after cleaning segment directories but no lock.
Just a quick guess without seeing your directory structure or your initialization template file, did you create all the directories under /data1/primary ?
Did you create directories under /data2/primary as well?
