11
13 Set up a Directory Server and Admin Server. Creates the configuration
14 files for an instance of Directory Server based on a few parameters
15 like the hostname, port number, and directory manager information.
16 Creates the configuration files for the Admin Server. Starts up the
17 servers. This command does the set up necessary for the use of the
18 Console and the Admin Express web interface.
19
20 If the Admin Server has already been set up, this command will create a
21 new instance of Directory Server and register it with the Admin Server
22 so that it can be managed with the Console.
23
24 Use this command with the --update option after an upgrade to refresh
25 the server information (version, build number, etc.) in the Console.
26
27 Can be run in interactive mode with different levels of verbosity, or
28 in silent mode with parameters supplied in a .inf format file or on the
