Can't promote --backup slave HC to master and reload without moving domain.cached-remote.xml -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-3108 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3108 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Domain Management Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Final Reporter: Brian Stansberry Assignee: Brian Stansberry Fix For: 8.0.1.Final The prescribed mechanism for converting a slave HC to master is to: 1) Start the slave with --backup so a local copy of the domain config is maintained (in file domain.cached-remote.xml). 2) Stop the existing master. 3) Use the cli to connect to the slave and /host=<slavename>:write-local-domain-controller 4) Then, in the CLI reload --host=<slavename> Problem is this fails because the HC expects to have a domain config file "domain.xml". 2014-03-13 09:54:04,829 ERROR [org.jboss.as.host.controller] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS010932: Caught exception during boot: org.jboss.as.controller.persistence.ConfigurationPersistenceException: JBAS014676: Failed to parse configuration at org.jboss.as.controller.persistence.XmlConfigurationPersister.load(XmlConfigurationPersister.java:112) [wildfly-controller-8.0.1.Final-SNAPSHOT.jar:8.0.1.Final-SNAPSHOT] at org.jboss.as.host.controller.DomainModelControllerService.boot(DomainModelControllerService.java:514) [wildfly-host-controller-8.0.1.Final-SNAPSHOT.jar:8.0.1.Final-SNAPSHOT] at org.jboss.as.controller.AbstractControllerService$1.run(AbstractControllerService.java:256) [wildfly-controller-8.0.1.Final-SNAPSHOT.jar:8.0.1.Final-SNAPSHOT] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:744) [rt.jar:1.7.0_45] Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Users/bstansberry/tmp/WF801/slave/domain/configuration/domain.xml (No such file or directory) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) [rt.jar:1.7.0_45] at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:146) [rt.jar:1.7.0_45] at org.jboss.as.controller.persistence.XmlConfigurationPersister.load(XmlConfigurationPersister.java:100) [wildfly-controller-8.0.1.Final-SNAPSHOT.jar:8.0.1.Final-SNAPSHOT] ... 3 more Or, MUCH WORSE, there happens to be a random domain.xml in the filesystem, which has content that is out of sync with the correct domain config. This domain.xml config will be used.
