To Create a Node

A node represents a host on which the GlassFish Server software is installed. A node must exist for every host on which GlassFish Server instances reside.

  1. In the navigation tree, select the Nodes node.

    The Nodes page opens.

  2. On the Nodes page, click New.

    The New Node page opens.

  3. In the Name field, type your choice of name for the node.
  4. From the Type drop-down list, select the type of the node to create.
  5. In the Node Host field, type the name of the host that the node represents.

    The name of the host must be specified. Otherwise, an error occurs.

  6. In the Node Directory field, type the path to the directory that is to contain GlassFish Server instances that are created on the node.

    If you type a relative path, the path is relative to the as-install directory, where as-install is the base installation directory of the GlassFish Server software on the host.

  7. In the Installation Directory field, type the full path to the parent of the base installation directory of the GlassFish Server software on the host, for example, /export/glassfish3/.
  8. To force the node to be created in the configuration of the domain administration server (DAS) even if validation of the node's parameters fails, enable the Force option.
  9. In the SSH Port field, type the port to use for SSH connections to this node's host.
  10. In the User Name field, type the name of the user that is to run the process for connecting to this node's host through SSH.
  11. Specify how the SSH user will be authenticated when logging in to this node's host.
  12. Click Save.
