Globus Connect Server Create Node

Name

globus-connect-server node create - Create data transfer node configuration

Synopsis

globus-connect-server node create -c CLIENT-ID [OPTIONS]…​

Description

The globus-connect-server node create command provides a command-line interface to creating a node configuration file for use with globus-connect-server node setup. This is useful when you want to be able to redeploy a node’s configuration without maintaining any state on the node between redeploys.

When you invoke this command with its required arguments, it will create a new node ID and node-specific encryption key, and will add the node specific encryption key to the endpoint’s keychain. It will output a file containing the node id and key. This file can be passed to globus-connect-server node setup as the argument to the --import-node command-line option

Note
Globus Connect Server prior to version 5.4.61 required manual registration with Globus Auth via the Developers web interface, and specifying client credentials to the GCS CLI required the --client-id option. If you are running a GCS version prior to 5.4.67, you must use the --client-id option to this command. As of version 5.4.67, the --client-id option has been removed. See the subcommand endpoint key convert to update any existing deployment keys to include the client ID and secret.

Options

-h, --help

Show help message and exit.

--version

Show the version and exit.

-c, --client-id CLIENT_ID (required prior to 5.4.67, removed in 5.4.67)

Auth Client ID for the Globus Connect Server endpoint. See the note above for when to use this option.

--deployment-key DEPLOYMENT_KEY_FILE

Path to deployment key created when setting up the endpoint. By default the path deployment-key.json is used.

--export-node NODE_INFO_JSON

File to write node configuration to in order to restore the node by rerunning this command at a later time.

Example

This example creates a node configuration using the client id stored in the $CLIENT_ID environment variable and writes the resulting configuration to node.json.

globus-connect-server node create \
    -c $CLIENT_ID \
    --deployment-key deployment-key.json \
    --export-node node.json
