Managing node agents

Why and when to perform this task

Node agents are administrative agents that represent a node to your system and manage the servers on that node. Node agents monitor application servers on a host system and route administrative requests to servers. A node agent is created automatically when a node is added to a cell.

Steps for this task

  1. View information about a node agent. Use the Node Agents page. Click System Administration > Node Agents in the console navigation tree. To view additional information about a particular node agent or to further configure a node agent, click on the node agent's name under Name.
  2. Stop and then restart all application servers on the node managed by the node agent. On the Node Agents page, place a checkmark in the check box beside the node agent that manages the node whose servers you want to restart, then click Restart all Servers on Node. Note that the node agent for the node must be processing in order to restart application servers on the node.
  3. Stop the processing of a node agent. On the Node Agents page, place a checkmark in the check box beside the node agent you want to stop processing, then click Stop.
