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

Options

-h, --help

Show help message and exit.

--version

Show the version and exit.

-c, --client-id CLIENT_ID (required)

Auth Client ID for the Globus Connect Server endpoint.

--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
