--------------------------------------

             Summary: 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".

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.
