## NAME

| start-instance - starts a server instance and all the services associated with it

## SYNOPSIS

| `start-instance` [--user admin_user] [--password admin_password] [ --host local_host] [--port 4848] [--local=false] [ --domain domain_name] [--debug=false] [--passwordfile filename] [ --secure|-s] `instance_name`

## DESCRIPTION

| Use the `start-instance` command to start an instance with the instance name you specify. The `start-instance` command can be run both locally and remotely. To start locally, with a domain name identified, the named instance must already exist within that domain. To start remotely, the administration server must be running on the hostname and port number specified. The user authenticates using the password identified for the administration server.

## OPTIONS

| --user administrative user associated for the instance. --password administrative password corresponding to the administrative user. --host host name of the machine hosting the administrative instance. --port administrative port number associated with the administrative host. --local determines if the command should delegate the request to administrative instance or run locally. --domain name of the domain. --debug starts the instance in debug mode. --passwordfile file containing passwords appropriate for the command (e.g., administrative instance). --secure if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the administrative instance.

## OPERANDS

| instance_name name of the instance to be started.

## EXAMPLES

| Example 1. Using `start-instance` in local mode
    asadmin> start-instance --domain domain1 --local=true admin-server
    Instance admin-server started
Where: the `admin-server` instance is started on the local `domain1` domain.
Example 2. Using `start-instance` in remote mode
    asadmin> start-instance --user admin --password bluestar --host localhost
    --port 4848 server1
