Working with nodes - groups of managed servers

What to do next

  • Managed and unmanaged nodes

    A node is a logical grouping of managed servers.

  • Node groups

    A node group is a collection of managed nodes. Managed nodes are WebSphere® Application Server nodes. A node group defines a boundary for server cluster formation.

  • Example: Using node groups with clusters

    Use node groups to define groups of nodes that are capable of hosting members of the same cluster. An application that is deployed to a cluster must be capable of running on any of the cluster members. The node that hosts each of the cluster members must be configured with software and settings that are necessary to support the application.

  • Adding, managing, and removing nodes

    This topic describes how to add a node, select the discovery protocol for a node, define a custom property for a node, stop servers on a node, and remove a node.

  • Changing the node host names

    After creating a profile or adding a node, the host name of the server or its ports might be incorrect. You can follow the examples to change the server host name using command line tools and the wsadmin scripting tool, and the host name of the server ports using the administrative console and command line tools.

  • Starting and stopping a node

    You can start a node by using the startNode command. You can stop a node by using the stopNode command. Starting and stopping a node is applicable only if your profile, also known as a node, is added to a WebSphere Application Server WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment domain or cell.

  • Viewing, configuring, creating, and deleting node groups

    This task discusses how to create and manage node groups.

  • Viewing, adding, and deleting node group members

    Use this topic to manage the nodes in your node groups by viewing, adding or deleting the nodes in a node group.

  • Managing node agents

    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.

  • Configuring remote file services

    Configuration data for the WebSphere Application Server product resides in files. Two services help you reconfigure and otherwise manage these files: the file transfer service and file synchronization service.

  • Enabling a server for Internet Protocol Version 6 on V5R4 of the IBM i operating system

    You can enable a server for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) by setting an argument on the Java™ virtual machine (JVM) panel. IPv6 is based on 128-bit architecture, which allows a far greater number of addresses to be available for use over the Internet than does Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4).
