Name

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.

Version

Product name and version number of the node.
WAS ND v7.0 version is the version of a WAS for managed nodes.
For unmanaged nodes on which we 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 ND v7.0 in the version column indicates WAS that you used to create the profile, not the type of profile that you installed. For example, if we use WAS ND to install a profile type of application server, the version column indicates ND.
