List and Status Commands

TABLE C–2Server Lifecycle Commands		(Continued)
Command	Definition
start-domain	Starts a domain. If the domain directory is not specified, the domain in the
	default install_dir/domains directory is started. If there are two or more
	domains, the domain_name operand must be specified.
stop-domain	Stops the Domain Administration Server of the specified domain.
restore-domain	Restores files under the domain from a backup directory.
list-domains	Lists the domain. If the domain directory is not specified, the domain in the
	default install_dir/domains directory is listed. If there is more than one
	domain, the domain_name operand must be specified.
backup-domain	Backs up files under the named domain.
login	Lets you log in to a domain. If various application server domains are created
	on various machines (locally), asadmin invocation from any of these machines
	can manage the domains located elsewhere (remotely). This comes in handy
	especially when a particular machine is chosen as an administration client and
	it manages multiple domains and servers. asadmin commands that are used to
	manage domains located elsewhere are called remote commands. The asadmin
	login command eases the administration of such remote domains. The login
	command runs only in the interactive mode. It prompts you for the admin user
	name and password. On successful login, the file.asadminpass will be created
	in the user's home directory. This is the same file that is modified during the
	create-domain command while using the --savelogin option. The domain
	must be running for this command to run.
create-instance	Creates a new server instance residing on a local or remote machine.
delete-instance	Deletes the server instance. This command can be run remotely or locally. 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 cannot be undone.
