Use this topic to learn how to navigate within the administrative console to the pages where you can view information about the application servers, generic servers, Java message service (JMS) servers, and web servers that are defined for your system.
You can use these respective administrative console pages to view the status of the listed servers. The status indicates whether a server is running, stopped, or encountering problems. You can also use these pages to perform the following actions for the listed servers:
When you click this button, the selected sever stops but the normal server quiesce process is not followed. This shutdown mode is faster than the normal server stop processing, but some application clients might receive exceptions if an in-flight request does not complete before the server process shuts down.
You should only click Terminate if the server does not respond when you click Stop, or, Immediate Stop or when you issue the Stop or ImmediateStop commands. Some application clients can receive exceptions. Therefore, you should always attempt an immediate stop before clicking Terminate.

For WebSphere® Application Server, server names must be unique within a node.
Specifies the node on which the server resides.
Specifies the IP address, the full domain name system (DNS) host name with a domain name suffix, or the short DNS host name for the server.
Specifies the version of the product on which the server runs.
Specifies the name of the cluster to which the application server belongs. This field only displays when the Include cluster members in the collection console page preference is selected on the Applications server page.
If you have created clusters, and if the Include cluster members in the collection console page preference is selected, application servers that are cluster members are included in the list of application servers that displays on the Application servers page. These cluster members can be managed in the same manner as any of the other application servers in the list.
If the Include cluster members in the collection console page preference is not selected, application servers that are cluster members are not listed in the list of application servers that can be managed from this page.
Specifies whether the server is started, stopped, partially stopped, or unavailable. If the status is unavailable, the node agent is not running in that node and you must restart the node agent before you can start the server.
