Description

The install-node-dcom subcommand installs Payara Server software on the hosts that are specified as the operand of the subcommand. This subcommand requires the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) remote protocol to be configured on the host where the subcommand is run and on each host where the Payara Server software is being installed. The DCOM protocol is available only on Windows systems.

To install Payara Server software on hosts that use secure shell (SSH), use the install-node-ssh subcommand.

If necessary, the subcommand creates a ZIP archive of the Payara Server software from the installation where this subcommand is run. The archive does not contain the domains directory or the`nodes` directory. These directories are synchronized from the domain administration server (DAS) when instances on nodes that represent the hosts are created and started. The subcommand does not delete the archive after installing the Payara Server software from the archive on the specified hosts.

If multiple hosts are specified, the configuration of the following items is the same on all hosts:

Base installation directory
Windows user
Windows domain

By default, the subcommand runs interactively and prompts for a password to authenticate the Windows user on each host where the Payara Server software is being installed. To enable the subcommand to run noninteractively, the following conditions must be met:

The --interactive option of the asadmin utility must be false.
The --passwordfile option of the asadmin utility must specify a password file.
The password file must contain the AS_ADMIN_WINDOWSPASSWORD entry.

The subcommand does not modify the configuration of the DAS.

This subcommand is supported in local mode only.

Options for the asadmin utility. For information about these options, see the asadmin help page.

--help

-?

Displays the help text for the subcommand.

--archive

The absolute path to the archive file of the Payara Server software that is to be installed. If no archive file is specified, the subcommand creates an archive from the installation of Payara Server software from which the subcommand is run. This archive is created in the home directory of the user that is running the command.

--create

Specifies whether the subcommand should create an archive file of the Payara Server software to install.

false: No archive file is created. The subcommand installs the software from the existing archive file that the --archive option specifies (default).
true: The subcommand creates an archive file from the installation of Payara Server software from which the subcommand is run.

--save

Specifies whether the archive file from which the software is installed is saved after installation.

false: The archive file is not saved. The subcommand deletes the file after installing the software (default).
true: The archive file is saved.

--installdir

The absolute path to the parent of the base installation directory where the Payara Server software is to be installed on each host, for example, C:\payara6. If the directory does not exist, the subcommand creates the directory.
The user that is running this subcommand must have write access to the specified directory. Otherwise, an error occurs.
To overwrite an existing an installation of the Payara Server software, set the --force option to true. If the directory already contains an installation and the --force option is false, an error occurs.
The default is the parent of the base installation directory of the Payara Server software on the host where this subcommand is run.

--windowsuser

-w

The user on the host where the Payara Server software is to be installed that is to run the process for connecting through DCOM to the host. The default is the user that is running this subcommand.

--windowsdomain

-d

The name of the Windows domain that contains the user that the --windowsuser option specifies. The default is the name of the host on which the subcommand is run.

--force

Specifies whether the subcommand overwrites an existing installation of the Payara Server software in the directory that the --installdir option specifies. Possible values are as follows:

false: The existing installation is not overwritten (default).
true: The existing installation is overwritten.

Operands

host-list: A space-separated list of the names of the hosts where the Payara Server software is to be installed.
