start-domain(1) asadmin Utility Subcommands start-domain(1)
NAME
start-domain - starts the DAS of the specified domain
SYNOPSIS
start-domain [--help]
[--debug={true|false}] [--domaindir domain-dir]
[--dry-run={true|false}] [--upgrade={true|false}]
[--verbose={true|false}] [--watchdog={true|false}]
[domain-name]
DESCRIPTION
The start-domain subcommand starts the domain administration server
(DAS) of the specified domain. If a domain is not specified, the
default domain is assumed. If the domains directory contains two or
more domains, the domain-name operand must be specified.
Note
+----------------------------------------+
| On the Windows platform, |
| processes can bind to the |
| same port. To avoid this |
| problem, do not start |
| multiple domains with the |
| same port number at the same |
| time. |
+----------------------------------------+
This subcommand is supported in local mode only.
Note
+----------------------------------------+
| In Oracle GlassFish Server, |
| the start-domain subcommand |
| prompts for a new admin user |
| password if no password has |
| been set for the admin user. |
| Additionally, the admin user |
| password must not be blank |
| if secure administration is |
| enabled; otherwise, the |
| start-domain subcommand |
| fails. |
| To provide the new admin |
| user password, you can use |
| the --passwordfile utility |
| option of the asadmin(1M) |
| command after adding the |
| entry AS_ADMIN_NEWPASSWORD |
| to the password file. |
+----------------------------------------+
OPTIONS
--help, -?
Displays the help text for the subcommand.
--debug, -d
Specifies whether the domain is started with Java Platform Debugger
Architecture (JPDA)
(http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/jpda-141715.html)
debugging enabled.
Possible values are as follows:
true
The instance is started with JPDA debugging enabled and the
port number for JPDA debugging is displayed.
false
The instance is started with JPDA debugging disabled (default).
--dry-run, -n
Suppresses actual starting of the domain. Instead, start-domain
displays the full java command that would be used to start the
domain, including all options. Reviewing this command can be useful
to confirm JVM options and when troubleshooting startup issues.
The default value is false.
--domaindir
The domain root directory, which contains the directory of the
domain that is to be restarted. If specified, the path must be
accessible in the file system. The default location of the domain
root directory is as-install/domains.
--upgrade
Specifies whether the configuration of the domain administration
server (DAS) is upgraded to the current release. Normally, if the
subcommand detects that the configuration is from an older release
of GlassFish Server, the configuration is upgraded automatically
before being started. You should not need to use this option
explicitly.
Possible values are as follows:
true
When the domain is started, the configuration is modified to be
compatible with this release of GlassFish Server, and the
GlassFish Server process stops.
false
The configuration of the DAS is not updated (default).
--verbose, -v
Specifies whether detailed information about the domain is
displayed in the console window where the subcommand is run.
Possible values are as follows:
true
Detailed startup messages and log messages about the domain are
displayed in the console window where the subcommand is run. If
the domain is later restarted by running the restart-domain(1)
subcommand from a different console window, messages continue
to be displayed in the original console window.
You can kill the GlassFish Server process by typing CTRL-C in
the console window.
You can kill the GlassFish Server process and obtain a thread
dump for the server by typing one of the following key
combinations in the console window:
* CTRL-\ on UNIX systems
* CTRL-Break on Windows systems
false
Detailed information is not displayed (default).
--watchdog, -w
Specifies whether limited information about the domain is displayed
in the console window where the subcommand is run. The --watchdog
option is similar to --verbose but does not display the detailed
startup messages and log messages. This option is useful when
running the asadmin utility in the background or with no attached
console.
Possible values are as follows:
true
Limited information is displayed in the console window.
false
Limited information is not displayed in the console window
(default).
OPERANDS
domain-name
The unique name of the domain you want to start.
This operand is optional if only one domain exists in the GlassFish
Server installation.
EXAMPLES
Example 1, Starting a Domain
This example starts mydomain4 in the default domains directory.
asadmin> start-domain mydomain4
Waiting for DAS to start. ...........
Started domain: mydomain4
Domain location: /myhome/glassfishv3/glassfish/domains/mydomain4
Log file: /myhome/glassfishv3/glassfish/domains/mydomain4/logs/server.log
Admin port for the domain: 4848
Command start-domain executed successfully.
EXIT STATUS
