Node agents are administrative agents that monitor application servers on a host system and route administrative requests to servers. A node agent is the running server that represents a node in a Network Deployment environment.
We must initially start a node agent outside the administrative console. For information on how to initially start a node agent, see the addNode command and the startNode command.
Name
Logical name for the node agent server.
Node
Name for the node. The node name is unique within the cell.
A node name usually is identical to the host name for the computer. That is, a node usually corresponds to a physical computer system with a distinct IP host address.
However, the node name is a purely logical name for a group of servers. We can name the node anything you please. The node name does not have to be the host name.
Version
Product version of the node.
The product version is the version of a WebSphere Application Server node agent and Application Servers that run on the node.
Host Name
IP address, the full domain name system (DNS) host name with a domain name suffix, or the short DNS host name for the node agent.
Status
Indicates whether the node agent server is started or stopped.
| Button | Status | Description |
