Hi Yamini,
I don't think that you've used Win 2008. At least on Win 2008, if ssh
without password was preconfigured, then ssh home directory became
C:\cygwin\home\<user_name> and .ssh directory there. I've copied .ssh
to C:\Users\<user_name> because I dis not want to enter a password.
setup-ssh did not work without --instaldir. Following your advice,
I've added --installdir and --archive. Then I saw such messages:
===========================================================
C:\aroot\glassfish3\glassfish\bin>asadmin install-node --archive
C:\aroot\glassf
ish.zip --installdir C:\aroot\glassfish3 bigapp-oblade-2
Created installation zip C:\aroot\glassfish.zip
Successfully connected to aroot_at_bigapp-oblade-2 using keyfile
C:\Users\aroot\.ss
h\id_rsa
Copying C:\aroot\glassfish.zip (1030556413 bytes) to
bigapp-oblade-2:C:/aroot/gl
assfish3
Installing glassfish.zip into bigapp-oblade-2:C:/aroot/glassfish3
jar command failed while installing glassfish on host bigapp-oblade-2.
Command output bash: jar: command not found
Remote command output: bash: jar: command not found
Command install-node failed.
=========================================================
On the second machine I've added java bin directory in a path in the
user's environment, so when I've executed on second machine:
C:\cygwin\bin>which jar
/cygdrive/c/aroot/jdk1.6.0_22/bin/jar
But if to execute ssh bigapp-oblade-2 which jar, it will not find jar,
until a link to the jar will be created in C:\cygwin\bin
C:\cygwin\bin>ln -s /cygdrive/c/aroot/jdk1.6.0_22/bin/jar jar
Then with --installdir , with --archive and with jar link, setup-ssh
started to work.
C:\aroot\glassfish3\glassfish\bin>asadmin install-node --archive
C:\aroot\glassf
ish.zip --installdir C:\aroot bigapp-oblade-2

Command install-node executed successfully.
=========================================
Also I want to mention that when an archive was creating, it takes long
time and was a full illusion that a command hung up, because there were
no messages for a long time.
Then I've tried with --installdir, but without --archive. I've waited
during 15 minutes and did not see any response. I don't know is it
really hung up or made an impression that it hung up.
Thank you,
Elena
