Starting node agents

The node agent of a managed node is a server process that must be started before you can start servers on the node. The node agent must be started for the deployment manager to communicate with it.

Before you begin

Before you can start and stop a node, you must federate the node into a cell.

About this task

You must start the node agent from the command line of the host on which the node is configured, in the install_root/bin directory.

To start a node agent, perform the following steps.

Procedure
  1. Verify that the node agent is not currently running:
    1. Start the administrative console on the deployment manager.
    2. Click System administration > Node agents and verify that the node agent is stopped.
  2. Use the the startNode command to start the node agent.
  3. Verify that the server started successfully by checking the install_root/profiles/profile_name/logs/server_name/startServer.log log file for the message Server nodeagent open for e-business; process id is nnnn.

Example

What to do next

You can now manage this node from the deployment manager, including starting the servers on the node.
