<h4><a id="sthref67" name="sthref67"></a><a id="sthref68" name="sthref68"></a><a id="sthref69" name="sthref69"></a>To Add a GlassFish Server Instance to a Cluster</h4>
<a name="BEGIN" id="BEGIN"></a>
<p>GlassFish Server instances form the basis of an application deployment. A clustered instance is a member of a cluster. Each instance belongs to a single domain and has its own directory structure, configuration, and deployed applications. Each instance also includes the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) web container and Enterprise JavaBeans technology (EJB technology) container. Every new instance must contain a reference to a node that defines the host where the instance will reside.</p>

<hr>
<p><b>Note:</b></p>
<p>To create an instance on a node of type CONFIG that represents a remote host, you must use the <a href="http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=E26576_01&id=GSRFM00044"><code>create-local-instance</code>(1)</a> subcommand. You cannot use the Administration Console for this purpose.</p>

<h5>Before You Begin</h5>
<p>Ensure that the following items exist:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The cluster to which you are adding the instance. See <a href="task-create-cluster.html">To Create a Cluster</a> for instructions.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The node on which the instance is to reside. See <a href="task-createnode.html">To Create a Node</a> for instructions.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>
<p>In the navigation tree, expand the Clusters node.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Under the expanded Clusters node, select the node for the cluster.</p>
<p>The General Information page for the cluster opens.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>On the General Information page, click the Instances tab.</p>
<p>The Clustered Server Instances page for the cluster opens.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>On the Clustered Server Instances page, click New.</p>
<p>The New Clustered Server Instance page opens.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the Name field, type a name for the instance.</p>
<p>The name must meet the following requirements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The name may contain only ASCII characters.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The name must start with a letter, a number, or an underscore.</p>

</li>
<li>
<p>Underscore</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>The name must be unique in the domain and must not be the name of another GlassFish Server instance, a cluster, a named configuration, or a node.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The name must not be <code>domain</code>, <code>server</code>, or any other keyword that is reserved by GlassFish Server.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>From the Node drop-down list, select the node where the instance will reside.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Click OK.</p>
</li>
