Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.2 High Availability Administration Guide

Enabling Availability for a Server Instance

To enable availability for a server instance, use the asadmin set command to set the configuration’s availability-service.availability-enabled property to true.

For example, if config1 is the configuration name:


asadmin set --user admin --passwordfile password.txt 
--host localhost 
--port 4849 
config1.availability-service.availability-enabled="true"
