Comment 1 Jay Shaughnessy 2013-05-10 21:24:18 UTC 
OK, this basically works but it's sensitive..

1) I'm sure this was just a typo in the BZ, but the option is:

"--storage-config <properties file>"

The BZ description has "--storage"

2) It expects a full filepath for the option, or a relative path from the
   rhq home dir (the parent of the bin dir, not the bin dir itself). So:

> rhqctl install --storage --storage-config bin\rhq-storage.properties

   or something like:

> rhqctl install --storage --storage-config c:\some\rhqinstall\path\bin\rhq-storage.properties

3) Finally, the properties file itself is sensitive.  Here is the property
   file used in the bz:

data=C:\Users\dayana\Desktop
saved-caches=C:\Users\dayana\Desktop

   * Not required, but typically you'd also want a commitlog directory
   * You would not want the same directory for each
   * Most importantly, the values are treated like Java strings, so you need
     either double-backslash or (recommended) forward slashes.

   This should work:

data=C:/Users/dayana/Desktop/rhq/storage/data
saved-caches=C:/Users/dayana/Desktop/rhq/storage/saved_caches
commitlog=C:/Users/dayana/Desktop/rhq/storage/commitlog


Please try this and if it works as expected we'll beef up the documentation.
Comment 2 Armine Hovsepyan 2013-05-14 08:35:21 UTC 
verified (not a bug)

The issue was not with the slashes, but with the data directories. data, saved-caches and commitlog should be saved in a directory/file which is not used by another config property. In my config file both data and saved-caches leaded to the same Desktop directory.

closing as "not a bug"
