Upgrading an Installation of Application Server or GlassFish Server |
| Previous | Contents |
The Upgrade Tool that is bundled with GlassFish Server 4.0 replicates the configuration of a previously installed server in the target installation. The Upgrade Tool assists in upgrading the configuration and applications from an earlier version of the Application Server or GlassFish Server to GlassFish Server 4.0.
In addition to Upgrade Tool, there are three Update Center tools that can be used to perform an in-place upgrade to GlassFish Server 4.0 from GlassFish Server 3.1.1, 3.1, 3.0.1, and Enterprise Server v3. These three Update Center tools are:
Update Tool
Software Update Notifier
The pkg command-line utility
Upgrade Tool and the three Update Center tools are explained later in this chapter.
To view a list of the older versions from which you can upgrade, see Supported Releases for Upgrade to GlassFish Server 4.0.
The following topics are addressed here:
The subsections that follow provide information that you will need when you perform an upgrade.
The following topics are addressed here:
There are two general paths you can use when upgrading to GlassFish Server 4.0:
A side-by-side upgrade means that the new GlassFish Server release is
installed in a different directory than the release from which you are
upgrading.
In this scenario, you perform the following steps:
Perform a basic installation of GlassFish Server 4.0 in a location other than the one being used for the older product.
Use Upgrade Tool to migrate the old configurations and applications to the new GlassFish Server 4.0 directories.
Test the new GlassFish Server installation to make sure everything is working properly.
When you are satisfied that the new installation works properly,
modify your production environment to use the new installation.
The side-by-side upgrade path is typically used for live production
environments because it allows you to thoroughly test the new
GlassFish Server installation before bringing it into production.
An in-place upgrade means that the new GlassFish Server release is
installed directly over and into the same directory as the previous
product release. The existing configuration is reused in the updated
installation.
In this scenario, you simply use Update Tool, the pkg utility, or
the Update Notifier in your old installation to overwrite the old
installation with the new GlassFish Server 4.0 product.
Performing an in-place upgrade is easier than performing a
side-by-side upgrade, but you lose the ability to switch back and
forth between the old and new installations. There is also no way to
revert an in-place upgrade back to the previous product version.
Because of these limitations, in-place upgrades are typically only
used by developers and for non-production GlassFish Server
deployments.
Note also that it is only possible to perform an in-place upgrade when
upgrading from GlassFish Server 3.1.1, 3.1, 3.0.1, or v3. If you are
upgrading from product versions prior to 3x, you must perform a
side-by-side upgrade.
For a more detailed overview, see Summary of Upgrade Tools and Procedures.
The following are important terms related to the upgrade process.
The directory of the server domain from which you are upgrading to the
new version (for example, c:\glassfish\domains\domain1).
The directory where domains are created on the server to which you are
upgrading (for example, c:\glassfish3\glassfish\domains).
The SSL certificate database password used in operations such as
GlassFish Server startup. This term refers to the master password of
the installation from which you want to upgrade. You need to specify
this password if you have changed it from the default value of
changeit.
There are several tools you can use to upgrade from an earlier GlassFish Server or Enterprise Server installation to GlassFish Server 4.0. The general procedures for upgrading to GlassFish Server 4.0 vary depending on which tool you use and the product version from which you are upgrading.
The following topics are addressed here:
There are several tools you can use to perform an upgrade to GlassFish Server 4.0 are described below.
Upgrade Tool
The GlassFish Server Upgrade Tool is tended solely for performing side-by-side upgrades from any compatible older product version to GlassFish Server 4.0.
Upgrade Tool provides a number of features that aid in the migration of older configurations and applications to a new GlassFish Server 4.0 installation. These features are described in more detail in Upgrade Tool Functionality.
In GlassFish Server 4.0 Upgrade Tool is installed in the as-install`/bin` directory.
Note: Upgrade Tool is the only tool you can use when upgrading to GlassFish Server 4.0 from product versions prior to GlassFish Server 3.0.1 or Enterprise Server v3. |
See Summary of Procedure for Upgrading With Upgrade Tool for an overview of the general procedure for performing an upgrade with Upgrade Tool.
Update Tool and the pkg Utility
The GlassFish Server Update Tool is a graphical utility that is typically used for the day-to-day maintenance of GlassFish Server components and additional features. For example, Update Tool can be used to update GlassFish Server components or install additional features such as OSGi Admin Console.
The command-line counterpart to Update Tool is the pkg utility. While
the pkg utility does not provide exactly the same set of features as
Update Tool, for the purposes of upgrading to GlassFish Server 4.0, the
pkg utility and Update Tool feature sets are almost identical.
In addition to day-to-day maintenance tasks, Update Tool and the pkg
utility can be used to perform an in-place upgrade of an entire
GlassFish Server 3.0.1 or Enterprise Server v3 installation to the
GlassFish Server 4.0 or later release.
In GlassFish Server 4.0 Update Tool is installed in the as-install-parent`/bin` directory.
Note: It is not possible to use Update Tool to upgrade from GlassFish Server or Enterprise Server versions prior to 3x. For these older versions, you must use the Upgrade Tool, described in Upgrade Tool. |
See Summary of Procedure for Upgrading With Update Tool for an overview of the general procedure for performing an upgrade with Update Tool. For more information about Update Tool in general, see "Update Tool" in GlassFish Server Open Source Edition Administration Guide.
Software Update Notifier
The GlassFish Server Software Update Notifier is similar to Update Tool
and the pkg utility in that it enables you to perform an in-place
upgrade from GlassFish Server 3.1.1, 3.1, 3.0.1, or Enterprise Server
v3. As with Update Tool and the pkg utility, you cannot use the
Software Update tool to upgrade from product releases prior 3.0.1 and
v3.
The Software Update Notifier is distributed as a configuration option during GlassFish Server 4.0, 3.0.1, and Enterprise Server v3 installation. If installed and enabled, the Software Update Notifier monitors your installation and pops up a notification balloon when updates or upgrades are available for your product.
See Summary of Procedure for Upgrading With the Software Update Notifier for an overview of the general procedure for performing an upgrade with the Software Update Notifier. For more information about the Update Notifier, refer to the Update Tool online help.
The general procedure for using Upgrade Tool to perform an upgrade to GlassFish Server 4.0 from any compatible older version of GlassFish Server or Enterprise Server comprises the following steps:
Download GlassFish Server 4.0 and perform a Standard Installation, as described in "To Install GlassFish Server Using the Self-Extracting File" in GlassFish Server Open Source Edition Installation Guide.
Copy any custom or third-party libraries from the older installation to their corresponding locations in the new GlassFish Server 4.0 installation directories. Note that you should only copy custom or third-party libraries here. Do not copy an libraries from the actual domain that will be upgraded.
Run the asupgrade command from the new GlassFish Server 4.0
as-install`/bin` directory.
Start the new GlassFish Server 4.0 DAS with the
asadmin start-domain subcommand.
This procedure is described in more detail in Performing a Side-By-Side Upgrade With Upgrade Tool.
The general procedure for using Update Tool to perform an upgrade to GlassFish Server 4.0 from GlassFish Server 3.0.1 or Enterprise Server v3 comprises the following steps:
Manually stop all server instances and the domain.
Launch Update Tool by using the as-install-parent`/bin/updatetool` command in the older product directory.
In Update Tool, select and install the latest GlassFish Server product release. This updates your server to the 4.0 release.
Upgrade the domain by running the asadmin start-domain --upgrade
subcommand. This performs the upgrade and then shuts down the DAS.
Restart the DAS normally with the with the asadmin start-domain
subcommand.
This procedure is described in more detail in To Upgrade Using the Update Tool GUI.
The general procedure for using the Software Update Notifier to perform an upgrade to GlassFish Server 4.0 from GlassFish Server3.0.1 or Enterprise Server v3 comprises the following steps:
Wait for the Software Update Notifier to pop up a notification balloon informing you that updates are available.
Click the balloon prompt to launch the Software Update GUI.
Manually stop all server instances and the domain.
Use the Software Update GUI to perform the upgrade. This updates your server to the 4.0 release.

asadmin start-domain subcommand.
This procedure is described in more detail in To Upgrade Using the Software Update Notifier.
pkg UtilityThe general procedure for using the pkg utility to perform an upgrade
to GlassFish Server 4.0 from GlassFish Server3.0.1 or Enterprise Server
v3 comprises the following steps:
Manually stop all server instances and the domain.
Run the as-install-parent`/bin/pkg` command with the desired options in the older product directory. This updates your server to the 4.0 release.
Upgrade the domain by running the asadmin start-domain --upgrade
subcommand. This performs the upgrade and then shuts down the DAS.
Restart the upgraded DAS normally with the with the
asadmin start-domain subcommand.
This procedure is described in more detail in To Upgrade
From the Command Line Using the pkg Utility.
Upgrades to GlassFish Server 4.0 are supported from the following earlier GlassFish Server product releases:
Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.1
Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3
GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3.0.1
GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3.1
GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3.1.1
It is not possible to upgrade to GlassFish Server 4.0 directly from Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server 8.x or older product releases.
To upgrade from a product release that is older than any of those listed in Supported Releases for Upgrade to GlassFish Server 4.0, you must first upgrade your older product release to one of the releases that are supported for upgrade to GlassFish Server 4.0.
For example, to upgrade from any Enterprise Server 8.x release, you first need to upgrade that older release to Enterprise Server 2.1.1. That is, your upgrade path would be as follows:
Enterprise Server 8.x⇒Enterprise Server 2.1.1⇒GlassFish Server 4.0
Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server 2.1.1 is available for download from the
GlassFish Community
Downloads (http://glassfish.java.net/public/downloadsindex.html)
page. Instructions for upgrading to Enterprise Server 2.1.1 are provided
in Sun
GlassFish Enterprise Server 2.1.1 Upgrade Guide
(http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19879-01/821-0180/index.html).
After upgrading your older Enterprise Server installation to Enterprise Server 2.1.1, you can proceed normally with the instructions in this guide to complete the upgrade to GlassFish Server 4.0.
For instructions on upgrading a GlassFish Server installation in an environment where Internet access is not available, see "Extending and Updating GlassFish Server Inside a Closed Network" in GlassFish Server Open Source Edition Administration Guide.
This section explains how to use Upgrade Tool to perform a side-by-side upgrade to GlassFish Server 4.0 from any compatible older product release.
The following topics are addressed here:
The Upgrade Tool upgrades your domain configurations and deployed applications. When you use the Upgrade Tool, the source server and the target server are normally installed on the same machine, but under different install locations. Both server file systems must be accessible from the system on which you perform the upgrade.
To perform the upgrade, the user who runs the upgrade needs to have read permissions for the source and target directories and write permission for the target directory.
You can perform an upgrade using Upgrade Tool in the following ways:
The Upgrade Tool migrates the configurations and deployed applications from an earlier version of Sun Java System Application Server or Sun GlassFishEnterprise Server to the current version. Database migrations or conversions are not part of this upgrade process.
Briefly, the Upgrade Tool performs the following steps:
Copies the older source domain directory to the new target domains
directory.
Calls the asadmin start-domain --upgrade command to migrate the
source configurations to the new target GlassFish Server installation.
Sends all asadmin command output to the screen and to the
upgrade.log file, and sends all server output to the server.log
file.
Additional Upgrade Tool functions are explained in the following sections:
Application archives (EAR files) and component archives (JAR, WAR, and
RAR files) that are deployed in the source server do not require any
modification to run on GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 4.0.
Components that may have incompatibilities are deployed on GlassFish
Server 4.0 with the compatibility property set to v2 and will run
without change on GlassFish Server 4.0. You may, however, want to
consider modifying the applications to conform to Java EE 6
requirements.
The Java EE 6 platform specification imposes stricter requirements than
Java EE 5 did on which JAR files can be visible to various modules
within an EAR file. In particular, application clients must not have
access to EJB JAR files or other JAR files in the EAR file unless they
use a Class-Path header in the manifest file, or unless references use
the standard Java SE mechanisms (extensions, for example), or use the
Java EE library-directory mechanism. Setting the library-directory
property to v2 removes these Java EE 6 restrictions.
Applications and components that are deployed in the source server are deployed on the target server during the upgrade. Applications that do not deploy successfully on the target server must be deployed manually on the target server by the user.
If a domain contains information about a deployed application and the installed application components do not agree with the configuration information, the configuration is migrated unchanged, without any attempt to reconfigure the incorrect configurations.
When upgrading from a clustered configuration, the older cluster
information is retained in a new domain.xml file in the GlassFish
Server 4.0 installation directories. However, it is still necessary to
manually re-create the server instances that are contained in the
clusters. This procedure is explained in Upgrading Clusters
and Node Agent Configurations.
An upgrade log records the upgrade activity. The upgrade log file is
named upgrade.log and is created in the working directory from which
the Upgrade Tool is run. Additional information is recorded in the
server log of the upgraded domain.
You can also use the asadmin version subcommand after starting the
upgraded domain to verify the new GlassFish Server product version; for
example:
asadmin> version
Version = Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1 (build 42)
Command version executed successfully.This procedure explains how to use the Upgrade Tool command line to upgrade to GlassFish Server 4.0 from any supported older product release. See Supported Releases for Upgrade to GlassFish Server 4.0 for a list of supported releases.
Before You Begin
Ensure that the domains on the source server from which you are upgrading are stopped before proceeding.
Download and install GlassFish Server 4.0 using the Typical
Installation path.
See "Installing GlassFish Server From a Self-Extracting
Bundle" in GlassFish Server Open Source Edition Installation Guide for
instructions.
Copy any custom or third-party libraries that may be located in the
source as-install`/lib` directory to the target as-install`/lib`
directory.
Custom and third-party libraries should normally be located in the
domain-dir`/lib` directory. This step is only necessary for custom or
third-party libraries that may be located in the nonstandard
as-install`/lib` directory.
Start Upgrade Tool from a command shell for your operating
environment.
Note: Use the Upgrade Tool that is located in the target GlassFish Server 4.0 installation, not the older source installation. |
On UNIX systems
as-install/bin/asupgrade -c
On Windows systems
as-install\bin\asupgrade.bat -c
The -c option starts Upgrade Tool in console mode. If -c is omitted,
Upgrade Tool starts in GUI mode, which is described in To
Upgrade Using the Upgrade Tool Wizard.
If you start Upgrade Tool with only the -c option, the tool enters
interactive CLI mode in which you are asked to supply the needed
options. If you prefer to enter all options directly from the command
line, you can use the following syntax:
asupgrade
[-c|--console]
[-V|--version]
[-h|--help]
[-s|--source source-domain-directory]
[-t|--target target-domain-directory]
[-f|--passwordfile password-file]Explanations of these options are provided at the end of this procedure.
4. Follow the prompts to perform the upgrade.
If a name used for an older domain that you are upgrading already exists
in the new target domains directory, Upgrade Tool will ask if you want
to rename the new directory so the old directory can be copied to the
new installation.
* If you type y in response, the directory is renamed
domain-name`.original`. If that name already exists, the directory will
be renamed domain-name`.orginal.0`. For example, if the old domain
directory is named domain1, it will be renamed domain1.original, or
if that name already exists, domain1.original.0.
* If you type n, you are prompted to specify a different directory
name or quit.
The domain is upgraded and the results are output to the console.
5. Review the console output to verify that the upgrade proceeded
correctly.
This output is also written to the output.log file for later review.
If there are any SEVERE or WARNING messages in the server.log
file, the upgrade output will say
"Possible error encountered during upgrade. See server log after upgrade process completes."
6. Start the upgraded GlassFish Server 4.0 domain.
asadmin start-domain domain-nameLog in to the Administration Console with the user name and password you
used in the older server.
Note: GlassFish Server 4.0 does not support NSS authentication. If you are upgrading from a Enterprise Profile configuration that uses NSS authentication, follow the procedure in Upgrading Installations That Use NSS Cryptographic Tokens. |
If you are upgrading a clustered configuration or a configuration in which node agents were used, proceed with the instructions in Upgrading Clusters and Node Agent Configurations.
Example 2-1 Using the asupgrade Command Line
The following example shows how to use the asupgrade command-line
utility in non-interactive mode to upgrade an existing Sun GlassFish
Enterprise Server v2.1 installation to GlassFish Server 4.0. The
following command should be entered on a single line.
asupgrade -c -s /home/glassfish/domains/domain1 -f /root/mypassword
-t /home/glassfish3/glassfish/domainsasupgrade Command-Line Options
Listed below are the asupgrade command-line options, including the
short form, the long form, and a description of each option.

GlassFish Server 4.0 installation to which to transfer the
configuration, or click Browse.
The default is the full path name of the domains directory of your
GlassFish Server 4.0 installation (for example,
c:\glassfish3\glassfish\domains).
Provide the master password of the source application server.
The domain will be upgraded using these credentials. If you do not
specify a password here, the default master password is used.
Note: GlassFish Server 4.0 does not support NSS authentication. If you are upgrading from a Enterprise Profile configuration that uses NSS authentication, follow the procedure in Upgrading Installations That Use NSS Cryptographic Tokens. |
Click Next.
If a name used for an older domain that you are upgrading already exists
in the new target domains directory, Upgrade Tool will ask if you want
to rename the new directory so the old directory can be copied to the
new installation.
If you click OK in response, the directory is renamed
domain-name`.original`. If that name already exists, the directory will
be renamed domain-name`.orginal.0`. For example, if the old domain
directory is named domain1, it will be renamed domain1.original, or
if that name already exists, domain1.original.0.
If you click No, you brought back to the main screen.
The domain is upgraded and the Upgrade Results page displays the status
of the upgrade operation.
Review the output in the Upgrade Results page to verify that the
upgrade proceeded correctly.

GlassFish Server v2.x EE (Enterprise Edition) uses Network Security Services (NSS) for cryptographic software tokens. GlassFish Server 4.0 does not support NSS, so when performing an upgrade from v2.x EE to 4.0 additional manual configuration steps must be performed.
The following topics are addressed here:
This procedure explains how to prepare for modifying an NSS-based GlassFish Server 2.x installation when upgrading to GlassFish Server 4.0.
Download and install GlassFish Server 4.0 using the Typical
Installation path.
Ensure that you install the new GlassFish Server 4.0 product in a
directory that is different than the one used for the older installation
from which you are upgrading.
See "Installing GlassFish Server From a Self-Extracting
Bundle" in GlassFish Server Open Source Edition Installation Guide for
instructions.
Rename the new GlassFish Server 4.0 domain-dir (the default is
as-install`/domains/domain1`) to a name of your choice.
In this procedure, 31domain is used for the renamed GlassFish Server
4.0 domain.
Copy the older source domain to be upgraded to the new GlassFish
Server 4.0 as-install`/domains` directory.
In this procedure, domain1 is used for the older source domain that is
copied to the new GlassFish Server 4.0 installation.
Note: The remaining steps in this procedure are performed on the copy of your source domain that you created in this step, rather than on your original source domain. It is strongly recommended that you perform the GlassFish Server 4.0 upgrade on a copy of your old domain rather than on the original. |
Copy the server.policy, keystore.jks, and cacerts.jks files
from the renamed ./31domain/config directory to the ./domain1/config
directory to be upgraded.
For example:
cp as-install/domains/31domain/config/server.policy as-install/domains/domain1/config cp as-install/domains/31domain/config/keystore.jks as-install/domains/domain1/config cp as-install/domains/31domain/config/cacerts.jks as-install/domains/domain1/config
This will overwrite the master password for ./domain1 with the
password used in the ./31domain.
5. Modify the domain.xml file for ./domain1.
1. Add the following jvm-options under server-config and
default-config:
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/config/keystore.jks

Upgrade ./domain1 by starting the DAS in the new GlassFish Server
4.0 installation with the --upgrade option.
as-install/bin/asadmin start-domain --upgrade domain1
This upgrades the domain and then shuts down the DAS.
7. Start the upgraded DAS normally.
as-install/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1These instructions explain the post-upgrade configuration steps that must be performed when upgrading from an NSS-based installation to GlassFish Server 4.0.
Before You Begin
Before proceeding with this procedure, complete the procedure explained in To Prepare for the Upgrade.
Start the GlassFish Server 4.0 domain, if it is not already running,
and open the GlassFish Server Admin Console in a browser window.
The default URL is https://localhost:4848
As part of the To Prepare for the Upgrade procedure, the
default keystore with a default self-signed key-certificate pair with an
alias named s1as and a keystore password changeit was copied into
the v2.x domain before the upgrade.
If your default server alias in the NSS v2.x domain is not s1as,
you can delete this entry using the following command:
keytool -delete -keystore keystore.jks -storepass changeit -alias s1as keytool -delete -keystore cacerts.jks -storepass changeit -alias s1as
If the master password for the v2.x domain is not the default
password changeit, you need to change the new keystore password to
match the v2.x master password.
keytool -storepasswd -new v2-master-password \ -keystore keystore.jks -storepass changeit keytool -storepasswd -new v2-master-password \ -keystore cacerts.jks -storepass changeit
Take note of all the KeyEntries that exist in your NSS database.
These entries must be migrated to the keystore.jks in the GlassFish
Server 4.0 domain. The following command can be used to list all the
KeyEntries in the NSS database:
certutil -L -d $AS_NSS_DB
AS_NSS_DB should point to the ${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/config for
the 4.0 instance into which the v2.x domain was copied. The listing with
the attribute combinations u,u,u are the KeyEntries.
For example:
s1as u,u,uNote: To run the |
For each PrivateKey-Certificate pair (KeyEntry) that exists in
the v2.x NSS database, use the following commands to export them from
the NSS database and import them into the newly created keystore.jks
file.
Make sure you use the same alias when importing the KeyEntry into the
JKS keystore. For example, if s1as is the only alias present in the NSS
database, the following command can be used:
> pk12util -o /tmp/s1as_pk.p12 -n s1as -d $AS_NSS_DB
>keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore /tmp/s1as_pk.p12 -destkeystore \
${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/config/keystore.jks -srcstoretype PKCS12 \
-deststoretype JKS -srcstorepass v2-master-password \
-deststorepass v3-master-password -srcalias s1as \
-destalias s1as -srckeypass v2-master-password \
-destkeypass v3-master-password
Note: The reference to v3-master-password could be the same as v2-master-password if you intend to retain the same master password for the 4.0 domain after upgrading from v2.x. |
If the s1as alias represents a KeyEntry with a self-signed
certificate, the self-signed certificate must be copied to the
truststore.
>certutil -L -n s1as -r -d $AS_NSS_DB> /tmp/s1as.der>keytool -import -keystore cacerts.jks -storepass v3-master-password \ -file /tmp/s1as.der -alias s1as
There is a rare chance that the 2.x NSS database has some CA
(Certificate Authority) certificates that are absent in the default
created truststore. In such cases, all aliases that are missing in the
truststore (cacerts.jks) need to collected.
certutil -L -d $AS_NSS_DB
Example output:
verisignc1g1 T,c,c verisignc1g2 T,c,c verisignc1g3 T,c,c
keytool -list -keystore cacerts.jks -storepass v3-master-password
Example output:
godaddyclass2ca, Jan 20, 2005, trustedCertEntry, Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 91:DE:06:25:AB:DA:FD:32:17:0C:BB:25:17:2A:84:67 verisignclass1g3ca, Mar 26, 2004, trustedCertEntry, Certificate fingerprint (MD5): B1:47:BC:18:57 1:18:A0:78:2D:EC:71:E8:2A:95:73 secomevrootca1, May 1, 2008, trustedCertEntry, Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 22:2D:A6:01:EA:7C:0A:F7:F0:6C:56:43:3F:77:76 3
For each of the aliases from the certutil output in the preceding
step that are required but missing in the truststore listing, execute
the following commands to export and import them into the 4.0 domain’s
truststore.
>certutil -L -n verisignc1g1 -r -d $AS_NSS_DB> /tmp/verisignc1g1.der>keytool -import -keystore cacerts.jks -storepass v3-master-password \ -file /tmp/verisignc1g1.der -alias verisignc1g1
Note: Sometimes just the alias names that are used in the NSS database are
different, and the same certificate is, in fact, present in the 4.0

If you are using GlassFish Server v2.x Enterprise Edition with Hardware Tokens (for example, FIPS-140 compliant Sun Cryptographic Accelerator 6000 or other Sun Cryptographic Accelerators) configured by means of NSS-PKCS11, then the v2.x EE-to-4.0 upgrade solution is to directly configure the Hardware Token as a PKCS11 token using the JDK-JSSE supported mechanisms for configuring PKCS#11 tokens.
Set the javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType jvm-options in GlassFish
Server 4.0 to PKCS11.
<jvm-options>-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=PKCS11</jvm-options>
Set the javax.net.ssl.keyStore URL should be set to l since this
is a hardware token.
<jvm-options>-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=NONE</jvm-options>
Change the password for the truststore and the GlassFish Server
MasterPassword to match the PIN of your HardwareToken.
Since you are using a Hardware Token, you can delete the
keystore.jks for the migrated domain.
Ensure the token-alias for the hardware token (private key) that
you intend to use as the Server’s Key for SSL is mentioned in every
relevant place in the domain.xml for the domain.
For example, the cert-nickname attribute for the <ssl/> element
under the protocol configuration.
If the Hardware Token is to act as a TrustStore as well, remove
the cacerts.jks file from the domain-dir`/config` directory.
Ensure that the following two jvm-options are set in the domain.xml
file:
<jvm-options>-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=NONE</jvm-options> <jvm-options>-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=PKCS11</jvm-options>
This section explains additional steps you need to perform when upgrading cluster and node agent configurations from Application Server or Enterprise Server to GlassFish Server 4.0.
GlassFish Server 4.0 does not support node agents. As part of the
upgrade process, any node agent elements in the older source
configuration are transformed into CONFIG node elements in the
domain.xml file for the upgraded DAS. If the source node agent
configuration is incompatible with your GlassFish Server 4.0
installation, you must correct the node configuration on the upgraded
DAS.
In addition, although the source cluster configuration is retained in
the domain.xml file for the upgraded DAS, it is still necessary to
install GlassFish Server 4.0 on each node host and manually re-create
the server instances that are contained in the clusters.
The following topics are addressed here:
The general steps for upgrading a cluster and node agent configuration so it will work in GlassFish Server 4.0 are as follows:
Perform a side-by-side upgrade of the DAS. This procedure is described in Performing a Side-By-Side Upgrade With Upgrade Tool.
Perform new (not upgrade) GlassFish Server 4.0 installations on each node host. GlassFish Server 4.0 installation instructions are provided in the GlassFish Server Open Source Edition Installation Guide.
Correct the node configuration on the upgraded DAS, if necessary. This procedure is described in To Correct the Configuration of a Node After an Upgrade.
Re-create the clusters and server instances on each GlassFish Server 4.0 node host. This procedure is described in To Re-Create a Cluster.
As part of the upgrade process, node agent elements in the DAS
configuration are transformed into GlassFish Server node elements of
type CONFIG. This transformation does not affect the node agent
directories for GlassFish Server instances. To create the equivalent
directories for GlassFish Server instances after an upgrade, you must
re-create the instances as explained in To Re-Create a
Cluster.
The name of an upgraded node is the name of the node agent from which the node is transformed.
The host that the node represents is obtained from the configuration of the original node agent or, if not specified, is not set. If the configuration of the original node agent did not specify the name of the node host, you must update the node to specify the host that the node represents.
Default values are applied to the remainder of the node’s configuration data.
The default values of the following items in a node’s configuration data might not meet your requirements for the upgraded installation of GlassFish Server:
The parent of the base installation directory of the GlassFish Server
software on the host, for example, /export/glassfish3.
The default is the parent of the default base installation directory of
the GlassFish Server 4.0 software on the DAS host. If the GlassFish
Server software is installed under a different directory on the node
host, you must update the node’s configuration to specify the correct
directory.
The directory that will contain the GlassFish Server instances that
are to reside on the node.
The default is as-install`/nodes`, where as-install is the base
installation directory of the GlassFish Server software on the host. If
you require the instances to be contained in a different directory, you
must update the node’s configuration to specify that directory.
If you are using secure shell (SSH) for centralized administration, you
must also change the type of the node to SSH to enable the node for
remote communication.
For more information about GlassFish Server nodes, see "Administering GlassFish Server Nodes" in GlassFish Server Open Source Edition High Availability Administration Guide.
Before You Begin
Ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
A side-by-side upgrade on the DAS has been performed. For more information, see Performing a Side-By-Side Upgrade With Upgrade Tool.
If you are changing the type of the node to SSH, ensure that SSH is
configured on the host where the DAS is running and on the host that the
node represents. For more information, see "Setting Up
SSH for Centralized Administration" in GlassFish Server Open Source
Edition High Availability Administration Guide.
If you are upgrading from an Enterprise Profile configuration that uses NSS authentication, ensure that the procedure in Upgrading Installations That Use NSS Cryptographic Tokens has been performed. GlassFish Server 4.0 does not support NSS authentication.
Ensure that the DAS is running.
Remote subcommands require a running server.
Update the node’s configuration data to specify the correct
directories and, if necessary, change the type of the node.
Note: Only the options that are required to complete this task are provided in
this step. For information about all the options for changing the node’s
configuration data, see the |
asadmin> node-update-subcommand [--installdir as-install-parent] [--nodedir node-dir]
[--nodehost node-host] node-nameThe subcommand to run to update the node.
If you are leaving the type of the node as CONFIG, run the
update-node-config subcommand on the node.
If you are changing the type of the node to SSH, run the
update-node-ssh subcommand on the node.
The full path to the parent of the base installation directory of the
GlassFish Server software on the host, for example,
/export/glassfish3.
The path to the directory that will contain GlassFish Server instances that are to reside on the node. If a relative path is specified, the path is relative to the as-install directory.
The name of the host that the node is to represent after the node is updated.
The name of the node to update. This name is the name of the node agent from which the node was transformed.
Example 2-2 Correcting the Configuration of a Node After an Upgrade
This example updates the path to the directory that will contain
instances that are to reside on the node xk01 to
/export/home/gf/nodes. Because this node is transformed from a node
agent, the type of the node is CONFIG. Therefore, type of the node is
not changed.
asadmin> update-node-config --nodedir /export/home/gf/nodes xk01
Command update-node-config executed successfully.Next Steps
Re-create the cluster configuration from the older source installation in the new GlassFish Server 4.0 installation in as explained in To Re-Create a Cluster.

This procedure explains how to re-create a clustered GlassFish Server or Enterprise Server configuration for GlassFish Server 4.0.
Before You Begin
Before proceeding with these instructions, ensure that you have completed the following procedures:
Perform the standard upgrade to GlassFish Server 4.0 on the DAS, as described in Performing a Side-By-Side Upgrade With Upgrade Tool.
Perform a new (not upgrade) installation of GlassFish Server 4.0 on each node host. See the GlassFish Server Open Source Edition Installation Guide for instructions.
Correct the upgraded node configuration, if necessary, as described To Correct the Configuration of a Node After an Upgrade.
Start the upgraded DAS.
asadmin> start-domain domain-name
If the upgrade succeeded, the migrated cluster configuration exists and
the get-health subcommand lists the status of the clustered instances
as not running.
2. Confirm that the cluster configuration exists and contains all its
instances.
asadmin> get-health cluster-nameFor example, for the sample cluster1 used in this procedure:
asadmin> get-health cluster1
instance1 not started
instance2 not started
Command get-health executed successfully.Re-create the clustered server instances on each instance host.
The specific commands to use depend on your configuration.
If remote hosts cannot contact the DAS, export and import the instances' configuration data, as explained in "To Resynchronize an Instance and the DAS Offline" in GlassFish Server Open Source Edition High Availability Administration Guide.
If remote hosts can contact the DAS, create each instance individually and resynchronize the instance with the DAS, as explained in the following sections:
"To Create an Instance Locally" in GlassFish Server Open Source Edition High Availability Administration Guide
"To Resynchronize an Instance and the DAS Online"
in GlassFish Server Open Source Edition High Availability Administration
Guide
Note that the node name matches that used for the node agent in the 2.x
installation. If you get an error stating that some attributes do not
match the values in the DAS configuration, follow the instructions in
To Correct the Configuration of a Node After an Upgrade.
After creating the instances, manually copy the instance-dir`/imq` directory for each instance from the older source installation to the target GlassFish Server 4.0 installation.
If necessary, start the cluster.
For example:
asadmin> start-cluster cluster1
This step may or may not be necessary, depending on the procedure you used to create the server instances for the cluster.
Example 2-3 Creating Two Local Instances
The following example shows how to create two local instances in a cluster.
host1$ asadmin --host dashost create-local-instance --node na1 --cluster cluster1 instance1
host2$ asadmin --host dashost create-local-instance --node na2 --cluster cluster1 instance2dashostThe name of the DAS host.
na1The name of the node host.
cluster1The name of the cluster.
instance1, instance2The names of the instances.
This section addresses issues that can occur during an upgrade to GlassFish Server 4.0.
The following topics are addressed here:
When upgrading a clustered domain configuration from Application Server
9.1 or Enterprise Server v2 to GlassFish Server 4.0, you may encounter
problems if the admin-service element in the DAS domain.xml file
sets both of the following attributes:
security-enabled=true
type=das-and-server
The security-enabled attribute must be set to false in the
admin-service element for the DAS when type is set to
das-and-server.
You can use the get subcommand to determine the values for these two
attributes. For example:
To display the value for the security-enabled attribute:
asadmin> get configs.config.server-config.admin-service.jmx-connector.system.security-enabled
To display the value for the type attribute:
asadmin> get configs.config.server-config.admin-service.type
If necessary, use the set subcommand to set security-enabled=false.
For example:
asadmin> set configs.config.server-config.admin-service.jmx-connector.system.security-enabled=falseOn Windows, when you upgrade cluster profile domains, you could encounter the following error:
Fatal error while backing up the domain directoryTo resolve this error, look for and remove any hidden files in the source domain’s directory and re-run Upgrade Tool.
asupgrade Fails Without Internet ConnectionThis problem only occurs when using GlassFish Server 3.1 Upgrade Tool to perform a side-by-side upgrade on a 2.x domain without an Internet connection. It does not occur when using GlassFish Server 3.1.1.
The workaround for this issue is as follows:
Copy the older source domain to be upgraded to the new target
domain-dir, the default for which is as-install`/domains`.
Rename the target domain1 directory, if one exists, before proceeding.
Run the upgrade.
asadmin> start-domain --upgrade domain-name
