Add managed nodes

A managed node is a node with an Application Server and a node agent that belongs to a cell. Use this page to add a managed node to a cell.

To view this administrative console page, click System Administration > Nodes > Add node > Next .

Node connection
Specifies connection information for WebSphere Application Server.
  • Host

    Specifies the host name or IP address of the node to add to the cell. A WebSphere Application Server instance must be running on this machine.

    Data type String
    Default None
  • JMX connector type

    Specifies the Java Management Extensions (JMX) connectors that communicate with the WebSphere Application Server when you invoke a scripting process.

    Select from one of these JMX connector types:

    Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)

    Use when the Application Server connects to a SOAP server.

    Remote Method Invocation (RMI)

    Use when the Application Server connects to an RMI server.

  • JMX connector port

    Specifies the port number of the JMX connector on the instance to add to the cell. The default SOAP connector port is 8880.

    Date type Integer
    Default 8880
  • User name

    Specifies the administration user name that is needed to connect to the remote Application Server and the deployment manager. The user name is a user name defined in the user registry, and requires administrator privileges.

  • Password

    Specifies the password for the user name that you supply. The password requirements are the requirements that the user registry imposes for a password.

Options

Select from the following settings to further specify characteristics when adding a managed node to a cell.

  • Include Applications

    Copies the applications installed on the remote instance into a cell. If the applications to copy have the same name as the applications that currently exist in the cell, the Application Server does not copy the applications.

  • Include buses

    Specifies whether to move the bus configuration at the node to the deployment manager.

  • Starting port
    Specifies the port numbers for the node agent process.
    Use default

    Specifies whether to use the default node agent port numbers.

    Specify

    Allows you to specify the starting port number in the Port number field. WebSphere Application Server administration assigns the port numbers in order from the starting port number. For example, if you specify 9950, the administration program configures the node agent ports as 9950, 9951, 9952, and so on.

  • Core Group

    Specifies the group to which you can add a cluster or node agent. By default, clusters or node agents are added to the DefaultCoreGroup group.

    Select from one of the core groups if a list is displayed. The list displays if a core group in addition to the default core group exists.

  • Node group

    Specifies the group to which you can add the node. By default, nodes are added to the DefaultNodeGroup group.

    Select from one of the node groups if a list is displayed. The list displays if a node group in addition to the default node group exists.
