GlassFish 3.1 m2 supports creating and starting instances on remote hosts.

One of the main features in GlassFish 3.1 is clustering and for m2 we have added support for creating and starting instances on remote hosts.  The underying GlassFish 3.1 code uses SSH to connect to the remote hosts and introduces the concept of a node which is used by the system to deterimine where the instances will be created or started. At this time the only connection type supported is SSH.  Users now have a few new commands to manage nodes.  create-node-ssh  creates a node that describes the hostname where the instance will run and location of GlassFish installation.   delete-node-ssh and list-nodes are useful in deleting and listing nodes respectfully.  Below is a simple example of creating a cluster, creating an instance and starting the instance all from the administration host or the DAS (Domain Administration System).  First, some assumptions about the setup for GlassFish.  For m2, users will have to install and start GlassFish on all hosts that are part of the cluster. We do not currently support installing or starting GlassFish on a remote host and this is planned for a future release.  Second, SSH needs to be setup on both hosts as it is the underlying mechanism that is used to run commands on the remote hosts.  Currently we have only tested on UNIX (MacOs, Ubuntu, and OpenSolaris) but for m3 we will be including Windows as a tested platform.  There are ...
