delete-instance

The delete-instance subcommand deletes a Eclipse GlassFish instance. This subcommand requires the secure shell (SSH) to be configured on the host where the domain administration server (DAS) is running and on the host that is represented by the node where the instance resides.

You may run this subcommand from any host that can contact the DAS.

The subcommand can delete any Eclipse GlassFish instance, regardless of how the instance was created. For example, this subcommand can delete an instance that was created by using the create-local-instance(1) subcommand.

The instance that is being deleted must not be running. Otherwise, an error occurs.

The subcommand deletes an instance by performing the following actions:

If the instance that is being deleted is the only instance that is using the node directory, that directory is also removed.

If a standalone instance is deleted, the instance’s standalone configuration is also deleted. A standalone instance refers to a configuration that is named instance-name`-config` to which no other clusters or unclustered instances refer.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.
