Description

The import-sync-bundle subcommand imports the configuration data of a clustered instance or standalone instance from an archive file that was created by the export-sync-bundle(1) subcommand.

You must run this subcommand on the host where the instance resides. To contact the domain administration server (DAS), this subcommand requires the name of the host where the DAS is running. If a nondefault port is used for administration, this subcommand also requires the port number. You must provide this information through the --host option and the --port option of the asadmin(1M) utility.

Importing an instance’s configuration data transfers the data to a host for an instance without the need for the instance to be able to communicate with the DAS. Importing an instance’s configuration data is typically required for the following reasons:

  • To reestablish the instance after an upgrade

  • To synchronize the instance manually with the domain administration server (DAS) when the instance cannot contact the DAS

The subcommand imports an instance’s configuration data by performing the following operations:

  • Creating or updating the instance’s files and directories

  • Attempting to register the instance with the DAS

If the attempt to register the instance with the DAS fails, the subcommand does not fail. Instead, the subcommand displays a warning that the attempt failed. The warning contains the command to run to register the instance with the DAS.

The import-sync-bundle subcommand does not contact the DAS to determine the node on which the instance resides. If the node is not specified as an option of the subcommand, the subcommand determines the node from the DAS configuration in the archive file.

This subcommand is supported in local mode only.

Options

asadmin-options

Options for the asadmin utility. For information about these options, see the asadmin(1M) help page.

--help
-?

Displays the help text for the subcommand.

--instance

The instance for which configuration data is being imported. The instance must already exist in the DAS configuration. The archive file from which the data is being imported must contain data for the specified instance.

--nodedir

The directory that contains the instance’s node directory. The instance’s files are stored in the instance’s node directory. The default is as-install`/nodes`.

--node

The node on which the instance resides. If this option is omitted, the subcommand determines the node from the DAS configuration in the archive file.

Operands

file-name

The name of the file, including the path, that contains the archive file to import. This operand is required.

Examples

Example 1   Importing Configuration Data for a Clustered Instance

This example imports the configuration for the clustered instance ymli2 on the node sj02 from the archive file /export/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/sync/ymlcluster-sync-bundle.zip.

The command is run on the host sj02, which is the host that the node sj02 represents. The DAS is running on the host sr04 and uses the default HTTP port for administration.

sj02# asadmin --host sr04 import-sync-bundle --node sj02 --instance ymli2
/export/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/sync/ymlcluster-sync-bundle.zip
