4.7. Administration

ServiceMix Kernel Karaf provides some commands to administer multiple instances of ServiceMix Kernel. An instance of ServiceMix Kernel Karaf is a copy of the Kernel that you can launch separately and deploy applications onto it. An instance does not contain a full copy of ServiceMix KernelKaraf, but only a copy of the configuration files and data folder which contains all runtime informations, logs and temporary files.

As of 1.0 version, only a single command is provided to create a new instance. Below is an example of the command:

admin create /Users/gnodet/tmp/smx

Such a command will create a new instance in the given directory. To start it, go into the above directory and launch bin/servicemix or bin\servicemix.bat on Windows. An instance is still pointing to the original home directory, but the base directory reflects the directory which has been created. You can see that using the info command.

Managing instances (starting, stopping, etc...) is not yet implemented (see the jira issue) and is planned for 1.1 at this point.

Those commands are also available from outside the OSGi environment using the admin/admin.bat script in the bin folder.
