Sun Microsystems 820433510 manual Starting the Default Domain on Windows, Stopping the Domain

Basic Enterprise Server Commands

Starting the Default Domain on Windows

From the Windows Start Menu, select Programs -> Sun Microsystems -> Enterprise Server -> Start Admin Server.

Stopping the Domain

Stopping a domain shuts down its administration server and application server instance. When stopping a domain, the server instance stops accepting new connections and then waits for all outstanding connections to complete. This process takes a few seconds because the server instance must complete its shutdown process. While the domain is stopped, the Admin Console or most asadmin commands cannot be used.

To stop a domain, type the asadmin stop-domain command and specify the domain name. For example, to stop the default domain (domain1), type the following:

$ asadmin stop-domain domain1

If there is only one domain, then the domain name is optional. For the full syntax, type asadmin help stop-domain.

Consult the Admin Console online help to stop the domain through the Admin Console.

Stopping the Default Domain on Windows

From the Start menu select Programs -> Sun Microsystems -> Enterprise Server-> Stop Admin Server.

Restarting the Domain

Restarting the server is the same as restarting the domain. To restart the domain or server, stop and start the domain.

Creating a Cluster

A cluster is created using the create-cluster command. The following example creates a cluster named mycluster. The administration server host is myhost, the server port is 1234, and the administrative username is admin. The command prompts for the administrative passwords.

$ asadmin create-cluster --host myhost --port 1234 --user admin mycluster
