NAME

 delete-instance - deletes the instance that is not running.

SYNOPSIS

 delete-instance [--user admin_user] [--password admin_password] [--host localhost] [--port 4848] [--local=false] [--domain domain_name] [--passwordfile filename] [--secure|-s] instance_name

DESCRIPTION

Use the delete-instance command to delete the instance that you specify. The delete-instance command can be run both locally and remotely. To delete the instance locally, not requiring the administration server to be up and running, specify the --local option. To delete the instance remotely, the administration server must be running on the hostname and port number specified. The user authenticates using the password identified for the administration server. Additionally, the instance must already exist within the domain served by the administration server. Use this command with discretion since it is destructive and there is no undo.

The delete-instance command does not remove the /var/imq/instances/<instance_name> directory.

OPTIONS

--user

administrative user associated for the instance.

--password

administrative password corresponding to the administrative user.

--host

host name of the machine hosting the administrative instance.

--port

administrative port number associated with the administrative host.

--domain

name of the domain.

--local

determines if the command should delegate the request to administrative instance or run locally.

--passwordfile

file containing passwords appropriate for the command (e.g., administrative instance).

--secure

if true, SSL/TLS to communicate with the administrative instance.

OPERANDS

instance_name

name of the instance to be deleted.
