Name

Specify a name for a node that is unique within the cell.

A node corresponds to a physical computer system with a distinct IP host address. The node name is usually the same as the host name for the computer.

Both IPv4 and Internet Protocol V6 (IPv6) are now supported by WAS, but there are restrictions that apply to using both IPv4 and IPv6 in the same cell. Note that when you add a node to a cell, the format in which you specify the name is based on the version of IP the node will be using.

V

Product name and version number of the node.

WAS version is the version of a WAS for managed nodes.

For unmanaged nodes on which you can define Web servers, the version displays as not applicable

The base edition of WAS is listed in the version column as Base. The express edition of WAS is listed in the version column as Express. The ND product is listed in the version column as ND.

WAS in the version column indicates the product that you used to create the profile, not the type of profile that you installed. For example, if you use the ND product to install a profile type of appserver, the version column indicates ND.

Protocol that servers use to discover the presence of other servers on this node.

The possible protocol options follow:

UDP

User Datagram Protocol

TCP

TCP

Status

Indicates that the node is either synchronized, not synchronized, unknown, or not applicable.
