Description

The `install-node-ssh` subcommand installs GlassFish Server software on the hosts that are specified as the operand of the subcommand. This subcommand requires secure shell (SSH) to be configured on the host where the subcommand is run and on each host where the GlassFish Server software is being installed.

Note:

This subcommand is equivalent to the install-node(1) subcommand. To install GlassFish Server software on hosts that use the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) remote protocol, use the install-node-dcom(1) subcommand.

If necessary, the subcommand creates a ZIP archive of the GlassFish Server software from the installation where this subcommand is run. The archive does not contain the `domains` directory or the `nodes` directory. These directories are synchronized from the domain administration server (DAS) when instances on nodes that represent the hosts are created and started. The subcommand does not delete the archive after installing the GlassFish Server software from the archive on the specified hosts.

If multiple hosts are specified, the configuration of the following items is the same on all hosts:

- Base installation directory

- SSH port

- SSH user

- SSH key file

If the SSH key file does not exist on a host where the GlassFish Server software is to be installed, the subcommand runs interactively and prompts for a password. To enable the subcommand to run noninteractively, the following conditions must be met:

- The `--interactive` option of the asadmin(1M) utility must be `false`.

- The `--passwordfile` option of the `asadmin` utility must specify a password file.

- The password file must contain the `AS_ADMIN_SSHPASSWORD` entry.

The subcommand does not modify the configuration of the DAS.

This subcommand is supported in local mode only.

Options

`--help`
`-?`

  Displays the help text for the subcommand.

`--archive`

  The absolute path to the archive file of the GlassFish Server software that is to be installed. If no archive file is specified, the subcommand creates an archive from the installation of GlassFish Server software from which the subcommand is run. This archive is created in the home directory of the user that is running the command.

`--create`

  Specifies whether the subcommand should create an archive file of the GlassFish Server software to install.

  `false`

    No archive file is created. The subcommand installs the software from the existing archive file that the `--archive` option specifies (default).

  `true`

    The subcommand creates an archive file from the installation of GlassFish Server software from which the subcommand is run.

`--save`

  Specifies whether the archive file from which the software is installed is saved after installation.

  `false`

    The archive file is not saved. The subcommand deletes the file after installing the software (default).

  `true`

    The archive file is saved.

`--installdir`

  The absolute path to the parent of the base installation directory where the GlassFish Server software is to be installed on each host, for example, `/export/glassfish3/`. If the directory does not exist, the subcommand creates the directory.

  The user that is running this subcommand must have write access to the specified directory. Otherwise, an error occurs.

  To overwrite an existing an installation of the GlassFish Server software, set the `--force` option to `true`. If the directory already contains an installation and the `--force` option is `false`, an error occurs.

  The default is the parent of the base installation directory of the GlassFish Server software on the host where this subcommand is run.

`--sshport`

  The port to use for SSH connections to the host where the GlassFish Server software is to be installed. The default is 22.

`--sshuser`

  The user on the host where the GlassFish Server software is to be installed that is to run the process for connecting through SSH to the host. The default is the user that is running this subcommand. To ensure that the DAS can read this user's SSH private key file, specify the user that is running the DAS process.

`--sshkeyfile`

  The absolute path to the SSH private key file for user that the `--sshuser` option specifies. This file is used for authentication to the `sshd` daemon on the host.

  The user that is running this subcommand must be able to reach the path to the key file and read the key file.

  The default is a key file in the user's `.ssh` directory. If multiple key files are found, the subcommand uses the following order of preference:

  1. `id_rsa`

  2. `id_dsa`

  3. `identity`

`--force`

  Specifies whether the subcommand overwrites an existing installation of the GlassFish Server software in the directory that the `--installdir` option specifies. Possible values are as follows:

  `false`

    The existing installation is not overwritten (default).

  `true`

    The existing installation is overwritten.

Operands

host-list

  A space-separated list of the names of the hosts where the GlassFish Server software is to be installed.
