Hello Bill,
Thank you very much for he clarifications.
I believe all these cases with the explanations have to be in some guide.
1) On DAS machine CONFIG and SSH node are equal, because on DAS machine
ssh would not be used.
2) On not DAS machine, if was created a CONFIG node (either using
create-node-config or via create-local-instance), then for that node can
be used only create-local-instance commands and the instances that would
be created for that node can be started only using start-local-instance.
3) But instances that belong to CONFIG node can be stopped by
stop-instance, it is kind of controversial behavior. But if so, it has
to be documented.
Thank you,
Elena
