Nodeagent may not discover DeploymentManager
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
The CELL_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS End Point should be defined only on the DeploymentManager and not on the node Application Servers.
 
Cause
Nodeagent will discover the deploymentManager using the CELL_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS End Point address. If the CELL_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS is defined on the node servers then the DMGR node value will be overridden and nodeagent may consider the node server as DMGR and will discover the node application server.
We may not see any exception in the nodeagent trace or log files. If we start the nodeagent, it will not discover the deploymentManager and the status of the nodeagent in the deploymentManager administrative console will be unknown. The nodeagent will not discover the DMGR until the deploymentManager is recycled.

This is a limitation inIBM® WebSphere® Application Server.
 
Resolving the problem
Remove the CELL_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS from all the node server End Points.
  1. To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Application Servers > server_name > End Points
  2. Remove CELL_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS
  3. Save and Sync the changes
  4. Restart nodeagent and the modified Application servers.
