Description

---

Note –

This command is available only in domains that are configured to support clusters, such as domains that are created with the cluster profile.

---

Use the create-http-lb-config command to create a load balancer configuration. This configuration applies to load balancing in the HTTP path. After using this command to create the load balancer configuration file, create the load balancer by running create-http-lb.

You must specify either a target or a configuration name, or both. If you don't specify a target, the configuration is created without a target and you add one later using create-http-lb-ref If you don't specify a configuration name, a name is created based on the target name. If you specify both, the configuration is created with the specified name, referencing the specified target.

Options

-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 --host

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

-p --port

The HTTP/S port for administration. This is the port to which you should point your browser in order to manage the domain. For example, http://localhost:4848.

The default port number is 4848.

-s --secure

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

-u --user

The authorized domain administration server administrative username.

If you have authenticated to a domain using the asadmin login command, then you need not specify the --user option on subsequent operations to this particular domain.

--passwordfile

The --passwordfile option specifies the name, including the full path, of a file containing the password entries in a specific format. The entry for the password must have the AS_ADMIN_ prefix followed by the password name in uppercase letters.

For example, to specify the domain administration 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, and AS_ADMIN_ALIASPASSWORD.

All remote commands must specify the admin password to authenticate to the domain administration server, either through --passwordfile or asadmin login, or interactively on the command prompt. The asadmin login command can be used only to specify the admin password. For other passwords, that must be specified for remote commands, use the --passwordfile or enter them at the command prompt.

If you have authenticated to a domain using the asadmin login command, then you need not specify the admin password through the --passwordfile option on subsequent operations to this particular domain. However, this is applicable only to AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD option. You will still need to provide the other passwords, for example, AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD, as and when required by individual commands, such as update-file-user.

For security reasons, passwords specified as an environment variable will not be read by asadmin.

The default value for AS_ADMIN_MASTERPASSWORD is changeit.

--help

Displays the help text for the command.

--responsetimeout

The time in seconds within which a server instance must return a response. If no response is received within the time period, the server is considered unhealthy. If set to a positive number, and the request is idempotent, the request is retried. If the request is not idempotent, an error page is returned. If set to 0 no timeout is used. The default is 60.

--httpsrouting

If set to true, HTTPS requests to the load balancer result in HTTPS requests to the server instance. If set to false, HTTPS requests to the load balancer result in HTTP requests to the server instance. The default is false.

--reloadinterval

The interval between checks for changes to the load balancer configuration file loadbalancer.xml. When the check detects changes, the configuration file is reloaded. A value of 0 disables reloading.

--monitor

Specifies whether monitoring is enabled. The default is false.

--routecookie

This option is deprecated. The value is always true.

--property

Optional attribute name/value pairs for configuring the load balancer.

--target

Specifies the target to which the load balancer configuration applies. If you don't specify a target, the load balancer configuration is created without a target. You can specify targets later using the command create-http-lb-ref.

Valid values are:

• cluster_name- Specifies that requests for this cluster will be handled by the load balancer.

• stand-alone_instance_name- Specifies that requests for this stand-alone instance will be handled by the load balancer.

Operands

config_name

The name of the new load balancer configuration. This name must not conflict with any other load balancer groups, agents, configurations, clusters, or sever instances in the domain. If you don't specify a name, the load balancer configuration name is based on the target name, target_name-http-lb-config.
