create-instance

Syntax

tadm create-instance common_options [--force] --config=config_name (node_host)+

Description

Use this command to create an instance of Oracle® Traffic Director. Instance refers to the environment of a Oracle® Traffic Director daemon on a given node, including its configuration, log files, and other runtime artifacts such as lock databases, caches, and temporary files. A node is a network resource, such as a server or a host. In a typical data center, a network of nodes is called a server farm.

Note:

If the node is service-enabled, when you create a new instance, a service is also created for that instance.
