Hi Henrik & Jan, Not necessarily. Some sites use a node for multiple purposes (e.g. as a data server node and a supervisor node or a manager node and a supervisor node, etc). Usually, people key the config file off the instance name and generally like to use the same config file for all instances on that node. So, it's not always cut and dried when dealing with more complicated installations. Andy On Tue, 28 May 2013, Henrik Öhman wrote: > Hi Jan, > > I think you make a good point.
