#### NAME

create-cluster– creates a cluster

#### SYNOPSIS

`create-cluster` ––user admin_user [––passwordfile filename] [––host host_name] [––port port_number] [––secure|`–s`] [––terse=false] [––echo=false] [––interactive=true] [––help] [––config config_name] [`––systemproperties (name=value)[:name=value]*`] cluster_name

#### DESCRIPTION

The `create-cluster` command creates a new cluster. When created, a cluster must reference a configuration (or, as with an unclustered server instance, a configuration can be implicitly created). Initially the cluster has no server instances, applications, or resources.

If you do not use the `––config` option, the command creates a standalone cluster with a configuration named cluster_name`-config`.

To add new instances to the cluster, use the `create-instance` command with the `––cluster` option. Use the `stop-instance` and `delete-instance` commands to delete server instances from the cluster at any time.

To associate new applications and resources with the cluster regardless of the number of instances in the cluster, perform any of the following operations:

- Use the `deploy` command with the option `––target cluster_name`.

- Use resource-creation commands (for example, `create-jdbc-resource`) with the option `––target cluster_name`.

- Use reference management commands (for example, `create-application-ref` or `create-resource-ref`) if the application is already deployed or the resource is already created.

This command is supported in remote mode only.

#### OPTIONS

`–u` `––user`

  The authorized domain application server administrative username.

`–w` `––password`

  The `––password` option is deprecated. Use `––passwordfile` instead.

`––passwordfile`

  This option replaces the `–– password` option. Using the `––password` option on the command line or through the environment is deprecated. The `––passwordfile` option specifies the name of a file containing the password entries in a specified format. The entry for the password must have the AS_ADMIN_ prefix followed by the password name in capital letters. For example, to specify the domain application server password, use an entry with the following format: `AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD`=password, where password is the actual administrator password. Other passwords that can be specified include AS_ADMIN_MAPPEDPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_SAVEDMASTERPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_MQPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_ALIASPASSWORD, and so on.

`–H` `––host`

  The machine name where the domain application server is running. The default value is localhost.

`–p` `––port`

  The port number of the domain application server listening for administration requests. The default port number for Enterprise Edition is 4849.

`–s` `––secure`

  If set to true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain application server.

`–t` `––terse`

  Indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

`–e` `––echo`

  Setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false.

`–I` `––interactive`

  If set to true (default), only the required password options are prompted.

`–h` `––help`

  Displays the help text for the command.

`––config`

  Creates a shared cluster. The specified configuration name must exist and must not be `default-config` (the standalone cluster configuration template) or a standalone configuration (including `server-config`). If this option is omitted, a standalone cluster is created.

`––systemproperties`

  Defines system properties for the configuration created for by the cluster. These properties override the property values in the `default-config` configuration. The following properties are available:

  Property | Definition
  --- | ---
  `HTTP_LISTENER_PORT` | This property specifies the port number for `http-listener-1`. Valid values are 1–65535. On UNIX, creating sockets that listen on ports 1–1024 requires superuser privileges.
  `HTTP_SSL_LISTENER_PORT` | This property specifies the port number for `http-listener-2`. Valid values are 1–65535. On UNIX, creating sockets that listen on ports 1–1024 requires superuser privileges.
  `IIOP_LISTENER_PORT` | This property specifies which ORB listener port for IIOP connections `orb-listener-1` listens on.
  `IIOP_SSL_LISTENER_PORT` | This property specifies which ORB listener port for IIOP connections the IIOP listener called `SSL` listens on.
  `IIOP_SSL_MUTUALAUTH_PORT` | This property specifies which ORB listener port for IIOP connections the IIOP listener called `SSL_MUTUALAUTH` listens on.
  `JMX_SYSTEM_CONNECTOR_PORT` | This property specifies the port number on which the JMX connector listens. Valid values are 1–65535. On UNIX, creating sockets that listen on ports 1–1024 requires superuser privileges.

#### OPERANDS

cluster_name

  A unique identifier for the cluster to be created.

#### EXAMPLES

##### Example 1 Using the create-cluster command

The following command creates a cluster named `MyCluster`, overriding the default configuration's SSL port value. Because the `––config` option is not specified, the command makes a copy of the `default-config` and names it `MyCluster-config`.

    asadmin> create-cluster --user admin1
    --passwordfile passwords.txt --systemproperties
    IIOP_SSL_LISTENER_PORT=1169 MyCluster
    Command create-cluster executed successfully.

#### EXIT STATUS

0

  command executed successfully

1

  error in executing the command
