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
- Verify that the node agent is not currently running:
- Start the administrative console on the deployment manager.
- Click and verify that the
node agent is stopped.
- Use the the startNode command to start
the node agent.
- 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
- To start the node agent in the default profile, type startNode
- To list the options, type startNode -help
- To start the node agent in the Custom03 profile, type startNode
-profileName Custom03
- To start the node agent in the Custom03 profile and write trace
information to the log file called install_root/profiles/Custom03/logs/startServer.log,
type startNode -logfile -profileName Custom03
What to do next
You can now manage this node from the deployment manager,
including starting the servers on the node.
