To create an Instance

1. In the tree component, select the Standalone Instances node.

2. On the Stand Alone Server Instances page, click New.

3. In the Name field, identify a unique name for the new instance.

4. Select a Node Agent.

   The node agent must be started using the asadmin start-node-agent command on the node agent’s host machine so that the server instance you are creating can be associated with that node agent.

5. Select a desired configuration.

   • Reference an existing configuration. No new configuration is added.

   • Make a copy of an existing configuration. A new configuration is added when the server instance or cluster is added.

6. To copy from a different configuration, specify it when creating the new instance.

   By default, new instances are created with configurations copied from the default-config configuration.

7. For a server instance, the new configuration is named instance-name-config.

   The configuration default-config is the default configuration that acts as a template for creating standalone server instance. No unclustered server instances or clusters are allowed to refer to the default-config configuration; it can only be copied to create new configurations. Edit the default configuration to ensure that new configurations copied from it have the correct initial settings.
