The following steps are similar to joining a cluster node using the GUI. That means the data is copied over the network, and the search index is re-created (which may take some time):

Master

• Start Master instance or make sure that desired master instance is running

Slave

• Copy the files crx-quickstart-2.2.*.jar and license.properties to the desired directory (usually on a different machine from the master, unless you are just testing).

• Unpack the JAR file:

            java -Xmx512m -jar crx-quickstart-2.2.*.jar -unpack

•  Copy the files repository.xml and cluster.properties from the master:

           cp  <master>/crx-quickstart/repository/repository.xml <slave>/crx-quickstart/repository/

           cp  <master>/crx-quickstart/repository/cluster.properties <slave>crx-quickstart/repository/

•  If this new slave is on a different machine from the master, append the IP address of the master to the cluster.properties file of the slave:

            echo "addresses=x.x.x.x" >> crx-quickstart/repository/cluster.properties

            where x.x.x.x is replaced by the correct address. At the master, the IP address of the slave should be added to the cluster.properties file as well.

•  Create the directory repository under repository in slave

          mkdir  <slave>/crx-quickstart/repository/repository

•  Copy the namespaces directory from the master at crxquickstart/

            cp <master>/repository/repository/namespaces <slave> /crx-quickstart/repository/repository/

•  Start the instance:
•  java -Xmx512m -jar crx-quickstart-2.2.*.jar
