Installing Multiple Instances Mule ESB

Question

I have gone through the mule doc. https://www.mulesoft.org/documentation-3.2/display/MULE2INTRO/Installing+Mule I am trying to understand how to make multiple instances from a single esb server. I have to make a cluster of the instance. But I havent get any clear idea about doing this.

I am using a ubuntu OS.

I want to know that. 1) Do I have to make 2 directory which containing to 2 server. 2 if no Do I have to configure 1 server So that I can make as many instance as I can. 3 if yes Then please can some one help me with step.

Answer 1

I often set up multiple mule instances on Ubuntu linux in parallel, and I use parallel directories that contain the Mule standalone installation.

Here is a template upstart script I have used to run it on startup under the mule user. You should copy this file to /etc/init/mule-instance-name.conf, and create an associated file /etc/default/mule-instance-name in which you set the MULE_HOME environment variable to the directory where you installed that instance.
