Managing nodes

This article describes how to add a node, select the discovery protocol for a node, define a custom property for a node, stop servers on a node, and remove a node.

Before you begin

A node is a grouping of managed or unmanaged servers. You can add both managed and unmanaged nodes to the WebSphere Application Server topology. If you add a new node for an existing WebSphere Application Server to the network deployment cell, you add a managed node. If you create a new node in the topology for managing Web servers or servers other than WebSphere Application Servers, you add an unmanaged node.

To view information about nodes and manage nodes, use the Nodes page. To access the Nodes page, click System Administration > Nodes in the console navigation tree.

Why and when to perform this task

You can manage nodes on an application server through the wsadmin scripting tool, through the Java application programming interfaces (APIs), or through the administrative console. Perform the following tasks to manage nodes on an application server through the administrative console.
