I have two installations of Geronimo 2.1.5 installed on the same test server. Each installation has multiple instances. I’ve created a cluster using installation1, instance1 (nodeA) and installation2, instance2 (nodeB). The logs indicate that each node is a cluster member.

To help with application management, I’ve created a Farm with nodeA and nodeB as the only members. The test application was successfully deployed to the MasterConfigurationStore and is available on both nodes. Also, stopping the application using G_MASTER will stop the application on both nodes. So far, so good. All seems to be working fine.

The problem comes when I do a graceful shutdown of the Geronimo instance which I used to deploy the application to the MasterConfigurationStore (nodeA). Shutting down this instance also causes the application on nodeB to stop. Not so if I “kill -9” the specific instance process. Is this the expected reaction to a graceful shutdown?

Also, I tried configuring the default instance of installation1 as a member of the Farm and than deploying the app to it (rmi=1099). The app deploys okay to the clustered instances but the app on installation1, instance1 (nodeA) will not start and stop through the Farm. Any suggestions?

Here’s some information on my configuration:

config-substitutions.properties

nodeA PortOffset=200 ClusterNodeName=nodeA WADIClusterName=WADI_CLUSTER FarmName=WADI_FARM RemoteDeployHostname=localhost

nodeB PortOffset=410 ClusterNodeName=nodeB WADIClusterName=WADI_CLUSTER FarmName=WADI_FARM RemoteDeployHostname=localhost

Any help is appreciated. Thanks
