asupgrade [--console] [--version] [--help] [--source source-path] [--target target-path] [--passwordfile password-file]
Table 2–1 describes the command options in greater detail, including the short form, the long form, and a description.

The following example shows how to use the asupgrade command-line utility to upgrade an existing Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1 installation to GlassFish Server 3.0.1.
asupgrade -c --source /home/glassfish/domains/domain1 --target /home/glassfishv3/glassfish/domains |
If you invoke the tool only with the -c/--console option, the tool enters the interactive CLI mode, where you are asked to supply the needed options.
After you issue the asupgrade command, the tool informs you that domain1 already exists in the target directory and asks if you would like to rename it. If you type y, the directory is renamed domain1.original. If domain1.original already exists, the directory is named domain1.original.0.
