Re: [infinispan-dev] [wildfly-dev] WFLYTX0013 in the Infinispan Openshift Template

I am not sure - the default should be "1" for the bare metal case so the warning is reliably triggered but the default can be the pod name for OpenShift templates that only allow a single instance of the application server - does that help? The file you looked to want to edit is shared by bare metal and other deployment environments so it would be confusing to set the default to jboss.node.name there IMO.
