create-instance can be used when the instance is on a different machine
from DAS and ssh is available.
create-local-instance is run locally on the instance machine.
You won't see any difference between the 2 commands when DAS and
instance are on the same machine.
Both commands do
Step 1: registers the instance with DAS (adds server element to domain.xml)
Then
Step 2: create the local file structure for the instance (by default
under <gf install>/nodeagents/<machine name>)
create-local-instance always does step 2.
create-instance does step 2 when
a) SSH is available OR
b) instance is on the same machine as the DAS
Case 1: SSH available, instances on different machine as DAS
asadmin create-instance --node M1 instance1 (on DAS)
Case2: instances on same machine as DAS
asadmin create-instance --node localhost instance1
OR
asadmin create-local-instance instance1
Case3: SSH unavailable, instances on different machine as DAS
asadmin create-instance --node M1 instance1 (on DAS)
asadmin --host DAS create-local-instance instance1 (on M1)
OR
asadmin --host DAS create-local-instance instance1 (on M1)
Is there still a bug with list-instances?
Can you file a bug?
Thanks,
Jennifer
