Synopsis

asadmin [asadmin-options] create-node-config [--help]
[--nodehost node-host]
[--installdir as-install-parent] [--nodedir node-dir] node-name

Description

The create-node-config subcommand creates a node that is not enabled for remote communication. The create-node-config subcommand does not require the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) remote protocol or secure shell (SSH) to be configured to create the node.

A node represents a host on which the Payara Server software is installed. A node must exist for every host on which Payara Server instances reside.

To represent the host where the DAS is running, Payara Server provides the predefined node localhost-domain. The predefined node localhost-domain is not enabled for remote communication.

All administration of instances on a node that is not enabled for remote communication must be performed on the host that the node represents. The domain administration server (DAS) on a remote host cannot contact the node. To administer instances on a node that represents a host that is remote from the DAS, you must use the following subcommands:

However, you may use stop-local-instance or stop-instance to stop the instances.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.
