NAME
delete-instance - deletes a GlassFish Server instance
SYNOPSIS
delete-instance [--help] instance-name
DESCRIPTION
The delete-instance subcommand deletes a GlassFish Server instance.
This subcommand requires the secure shell (SSH) to be configured on the host
where the domain administration server (DAS) is running and on the host
that is represented by the node where the instance resides.
Note
+----------------------------------------+
| SSH is not required |
| if the instance resides on a |
| node of type CONFIG that |
| represents the local host. A |
| node of type CONFIG is not |
| enabled for remote |
| communication over SSH. |
+----------------------------------------+
You may run this subcommand from any host that can contact the DAS.
The subcommand can delete any GlassFish Server instance, regardless of
how the instance was created. For example, this subcommand can delete
an instance that was created by using the create-local-instance(1)
subcommand.
The instance that is being deleted must not be running. Otherwise, an
error occurs.
The subcommand deletes an instance by performing the following actions:
* Removing the instance from the configuration of the domain
administration server (DAS)
* Deleting the instance's files from file system
If the instance that is being deleted is the only instance that is
using the node directory, that directory is also removed.
If a standalone instance is deleted, the instance's standalone
configuration is also deleted. A standalone instance refers to a
configuration that is named instance-name-config to which no other
clusters or unclustered instances refer.
This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.
OPTIONS
