Work with nodes - groups of managed servers

A node is a grouping of managed or unmanaged servers. We can add both managed and unmanaged nodes to the product topology. If we add a new node for an existing WebSphere application server to the network deployment cell, we add a managed node. If we create a node in the topology for managing web servers or servers other than WebSphere application servers, we add an unmanaged node. We can add, configure, remove, and otherwise work with nodes, node agents, and node groups.
