WAS v8.5 > Reference > Commands (wsadmin scripting)NodeGroupCommands command group for AdminTask using wsadmin.sh
We can use the Jython or Jacl scripting languages to manage servers with wsadmin. The commands and parameters in the NodeGroupCommands group can be used to create and manage node groups and node group members.
The NodeGroupCommands command group for AdminTask includes the following commands:
- addNodeGroupMember
- createNodeGroup
- createNodeGroupProperty
- listNodeGroupProperties
- listNodeGroups
- listNodes
- modifyNodeGroup
- modifyNodeGroupProperty
- removeNodeGroup

addNodeGroupMember
The addNodeGroupMember command adds a member to a node group. Nodes can be members of more than one node group. The command does validity checking to ensure the following:
- Distributed and z/OS nodes are not combined in the same node group.
Target object The target object is the node group where the member will be created. This target object is required.
Parameters and return values
- -nodeName
- The name of the node to add to a node group. This parameter is required.
