Configure Nodes With Rake Tasks

Use rake tasks to create, modify, and delete nodes.

Rake tasks must be run from the Shares shell, as described in the following steps:

Go to the shares folder:
```
> cd C:\Shares\www
```
Test that your rake tasks are working correctly.
```
> bundle exec rake -T
```

Options

When running the create and update tasks, you can add the following options to your command to set values different from the defaults:

Option	Default
`--port` `port`	`9092`
`--ssl` `true_or_false`	`true`
`--verify_ssl` `true_or_false`	`false`
`--timeout` `seconds`	`30`
`--open_timeout` `seconds`	`10`

Create Node

> bundle exec rake data:node:create -- --name name --host host --api_username api_username --api_password [--options value
api_password [--options]

For example:

> bundle exec rake data:node:create -- --name local_node --host localhost --api_username node_user --api_password *********

Note: You must create a node user and password to finish creating the new node. See IBM Aspera Enterprise Server Admin Guide: Setting up Node Users for instructions on how to create a node user.

Modify Node

> bundle exec rake data:node:update -- --name name [--options]

For example:

> bundle exec rake data:node:update -- --name local_node

Delete Node

> bundle exec rake data:node:delete -- --name name

For example:

> bundle exec rake data:node:delete -- --name local_node
