NAME

 create-cluster - creates a cluster

SYNOPSIS

 create-cluster user admin_user [passwordfile filename] [host host_name] [port port_number] [secure|s] [terse=false] [echo=false] [interactive=true] [help] [config config_name] [systemproperties (name=value)[:name=value]*] cluster_name

DESCRIPTION

The create-cluster command creates a new cluster. When created, a cluster must reference a configuration (or, as with an unclustered server instance, a configuration can be implicitly created). Initially the cluster has no server instances, applications, or resources.

If you do not use the config option, the command creates a standalone cluster with a configuration named cluster_name-config.

To add new instances to the cluster, use the create-instance command with the cluster option. Use the stop-instance and delete-instance commands to delete server instances from the cluster at any time.

To associate new applications and resources with the cluster regardless of the number of instances in the cluster, perform any of the following operations:

• Use the deploy command with the option target cluster_name.

• Use resource-creation commands (for example, create-jdbc-resource) with the option target cluster_name.

• Use reference management commands (for example, create-application-ref or create-resource-ref) if the application is already deployed or the resource is already created.

This command is supported in remote mode only.

OPTIONS

u user

The authorized domain application server administrative username.

w password

The password option is deprecated. Use passwordfile instead.

passwordfile

This option replaces the password option. Using the password option on the command line or through the environment is deprecated. The passwordfile option specifies the name of a file containing the password entries in a specified format. The entry for the password must have the AS_ADMIN_ prefix followed by the password name in capital letters. For example, to specify the domain application server password, use an entry with the following format: AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password, where password is the actual administrator password. Other passwords that can be specified include AS_ADMIN_MAPPEDPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_SAVEDMASTERPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_MQPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_ALIASPASSWORD, and so on.

H host

The machine name where the domain application server is running. The default value is localhost.

p port

The port number of the domain application server listening for administration requests. The default port number for Enterprise Edition is 4849.

s secure

If set to true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain application server.

t terse

Indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

e echo

Setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false.

I interactive

If set to true (default), only the required password options are prompted.

h help

Displays the help text for the command.

config

Creates a shared cluster. The specified configuration name must exist and must not be default-config (the standalone cluster configuration template) or a standalone configuration (including server-config). If this option is omitted, a standalone cluster is created.

systemproperties

Defines system properties for the configuration created for by the cluster. These properties override the property values in the default-config configuration. The following properties are available:

Property	Definition
HTTP_LISTENER_PORT	This property specifies the port number for http-listener-1. Valid values are 165535. On UNIX, creating sockets that listen on ports 11024 requires superuser privileges.
HTTP_SSL_LISTENER_PORT	This property specifies the port number for http-listener-2. Valid values are 165535. On UNIX, creating sockets that listen on ports 11024 requires superuser privileges.
IIOP_LISTENER_PORT	This property specifies which ORB listener port for IIOP connections orb-listener-1 listens on.
IIOP_SSL_LISTENER_PORT	This property specifies which ORB listener port for IIOP connections the IIOP listener called SSL listens on.
IIOP_SSL_MUTUALAUTH_PORT	This property specifies which ORB listener port for IIOP connections the IIOP listener called SSL_MUTUALAUTH listens on.
JMX_SYSTEM_CONNECTOR_PORT	This property specifies the port number on which the JMX connector listens. Valid values are 165535. On UNIX, creating sockets that listen on ports 11024 requires superuser privileges.

OPERANDS

cluster_name

A unique identifier for the cluster to be created.

EXAMPLES

Example 1. Using the create-cluster command

The following command creates a cluster named MyCluster, overriding the default configuration's SSL port value. Because the config option is not specified, the command makes a copy of the default-config and names it MyCluster-config.

asadmin> create-cluster --user admin1 
--passwordfile passwords.txt --systemproperties 
IIOP_SSL_LISTENER_PORT=1169 MyCluster
Command create-cluster executed successfully.

EXIT STATUS

0

command executed successfully

1

error in executing the command
