How to clone a Tomcat server
User needs to setup a number of app servers under a load balancer all pointing to a single DB.
They have tried building the first server, and then cloning it using this script:
This link describes how to clone everything, including the database. Skip steps 2 and 3 if you are using the same DB for each application server.
But after creating the first few, they are seeing an error. They can start a tomcat for the batch work, plus 2 tomcats for users, but any further tomcats fail with this error: Has anyone seen this & know how to get around it?
==========

Not enough details to comment on this. The generic error normally means something wrong on the server side, share the problem tomcat instance logs so that we can help you out. BTW, not sure about your goals here, think about using Kubernetes, no manual clone of nodes. You can scale up and down with one single command: https://github.com/pegasystems/pega-helm-charts

Thanks for the reply Kevin,
They discovered that the clone was actually working, but took about 3 hours for the server to startup.
Rather than use clones, they will install each server using the regular install process. This works much better for them
