Specifies a logical name for the node agent server.
Specifies a 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. You can name the node anything you please. The node name does not have to be the host name.
Both Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) are now supported by WebSphere Application Server, but there are restrictions that apply to using both IPv4 and IPv6 in the same cell. Note that when a node is added to a cell, the format in which the name is specified is based on the version of IP the node will be using.
Note: Although WebSphere Application Server supports IPv4 and IPv6, iSeries currently does not support IPv6.
