This command creates a new server instance.
Enter the command using the syntax shown below. Available options are shown in brackets.
zosadmin create [--newdir=] [--upgrade=] [--profile=] [--id=] [--grid=] [--clusterhost=] [--user=] [--passwd=] [--rmiport=] [--rmihost=] [--httpport=] [--adminport=] [--agentport=] [--auditurl=] [--audituser=] [--auditpasswd=] [--auditdriver=] [--cert=] [--key=] [<hostname>]
Specify the hostname to use for this server. The default is the system hostname.
When you add an option, use the syntax in the command line as shown above (where options are shown in their long form). Short and long options for this command are listed below.
The location where the new Orchestrate Server should be installed.
Switch the upgrade behavior for snapshot handling.
Specifically, this command removes everything from the server instance directory except the logs/, dataGrid/, and snapshot/ sub-directories. It then invokes zosadmin upgrade to apply XSL transforms on the /snapshot directory. This last action might be a problem if you want more control over where your snapshot is stored: the --upgrade option assumes that the snapshot exists in the /var/opt/novell/zenworks/zos/server/snapshot default location.
If you want more control or flexibility over where you store the snapshot, use the zosadmin upgrade command and specify the location of the /snapshot directory.
When you use either this command or the zosadmin upgrade command, you need to follow it with the zosadmin start --upgrade command, optionally specifying the location of the upgraded /snapshot directory to complete the upgrade.
NOTE:We recommend that the zosadmin create --upgrade command be used only by advanced users. For most upgrade scenarios, you should use the config or guiconfig scripts for upgrading. For more information, see Upgrading the PlateSpin Orchestrate Server Components
in the PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.5 Upgrade Guide.
