Node agent server settings

Use this page to view information about and configure a node agent. A node agent coordinates administrative requests and event notifications among servers on a machine. A node agent is the running server that represents a node in a Network Deployment environment.

To view this administrative console page, click System Administraton > Node Agents > node_agent_name.

A node agent must be started on each node in order for the deployment manager node to be able to collect and control servers configured on that node. If you use configuration synchronization support, a node agent coordinates with the deployment manager server to synchronize the node's configuration data with the master copy managed by the deployment manager.

You must initially start a node agent outside the administrative console. For information on how to initially start a node agent, see the WebSphere Application Server Information Center.

The Runtime tab displays only when a node agent runs.

Configuration tab

Name

Specifies a logical name for the node agent server.

Data type String
Default NodeAgent Server
Short name

Specifies the short name of the node agent server.

The name is 1-8 characters, alpha-numeric or national language. It cannot start with a numeric.

The system assigns a cell-unique, default short name.

Unique Id

Specifies the unique ID of this node agent server.

The unique ID property is read only. The system automatically generates the value.

Runtime tab

Process ID

Specifies a string identifying the process.

Data type String
Cell Name

Specifies the name of the cell for the node agent server.

Data type String
Default host_nameNetwork
Node Name

Specifies the name of the node for the node agent server.

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.

Data type String
State

Indicates whether the node agent server is started or stopped.

Data type String
