    copy jboss install to other nodes

    enoxard

      hello,

      I am in the process of building a jboss 4.0.5 cluster.

      topology as follows

      Load Balancer -> Apache (X2) -> JBOSS 4.0.5 (x5)

      each app server and webserver run on their own dedicated machines.

      to build the cluster, i installed and configured jboss on a single app server. then i tarballed the installation and copied it to each of the other cluster member app servers. i updated the node name on each of the servers.

      so far, this seems to be working well. but its not in production yet.. is this a bad way to do things?

      any suggestions on how to do this better? i sure hope not because bringing a new appsever online takes a matter of 3 minutes. tar -xvf jboss-install.tar .. =)

      thanks.

            well
            you can nfs mount the server/yourapp directory
            which should have links to localdisk for log tmp work etc.
            then any machine can startup and join the cluster

              id like to avoid throwing a single point of failure into the cluster. wonder what nfs performance dings wed take for doing that..

              in a round about way you answered my question. if any server is able to use the files from an nfs, then simply copying those files to any local server should work similarly.. hope i understood that right and youve eaten your wheaties..

              ill post if shit blows up.
