A managed node is a node that has been federated into a
deployment manager cell. In a managed node, you can configure and
run managed servers.
The servers that are configured on a managed node make up the resources
of your deployment environment. These servers are created, configured,
started, stopped, managed and deleted using the administrative console
of the deployment manager. When a node is federated, a node agent
process is automatically created. This node agent must be running
to be able to manage the configuration of the profile. For example,
when you do the following tasks:
- Start and stop server processes.
- Synchronize configuration data on the deployment manager with
the copy on the node.
However, the node agent does not need to be running in order for
the applications to run or to configure resources in the node.
A managed node can contain one or more servers, which are managed
by a deployment manager. You can deploy solutions to the servers in
a managed node, but the managed node does not contain a sample applications
gallery.
