[[sthref668]]

=== Options

asadmin-options::
  Options for the `asadmin` utility. For information about these
  options, see the link:asadmin.html#asadmin-1m[`asadmin`(1M)] help page.
`--help`::
`-?`::
  Displays the help text for the subcommand.
`--target`::
  This option helps specify the location of the custom resources that
  you are deleting. Valid targets are server, domain, cluster, and
  instance. The default is server.
+
[NOTE]
====
Resources are always created for a domain as a whole but are only
active for targets for which a `<resource-ref>` has been created using
the `--target` option when the resource was created. This means that
deleting a resource only deletes the `<resource-ref>` element for the
specified `--target`, and does not delete the resource from the domain
as a whole unless `domain` is specified as the `--target` for the
deletion.
====

  `server`;;
    Deletes the resource for the default server instance. This is the
    default value.
  `domain`;;
    Deletes the resource for the domain.
  cluster_name;;
    Deletes the resource for every server instance in the cluster.
  instance_name;;
    Deletes the resource for a particular server instance.
