Creating a Domain

Domains are created using the create-domain command. The following example command
creates a domain named mydomain. The administration server listens on port 5000 and the
administrative user name is admin. The command prompts for the administrative and master
passwords.
$ asadmin create-domain --adminport 5000 --adminuser admin mydomain
To start the Admin Console for mydomain domain, in a browser, enter the following URL:
http://hostname:5000
In Enterprise Server 9.1, every domain has a profile associated with it. For information on
profiles, see
creation. Use the --profile option with the create-domain command to specify a profile for
the domain. If you do not use the --profile option to explicitly specify a profile, the default
profile is associated with the domain. The AS_ADMIN_PROFILE variable in the asadminenv.conf
file defines the default profile.
