Working with nodes - groups of managed servers
A node is a grouping of managed or unmanaged servers. You
can add both managed and unmanaged nodes to your product topology.
If you add a new node for an existing WebSphere® application server to the network
deployment cell, you add a managed node. If you create a node in the
topology for managing web servers or servers other than WebSphere
application servers, you add an unmanaged node. You can add, configure,
remove, and otherwise work with nodes, node agents, and node groups.
Managed and unmanaged nodes node is a logical grouping of managed servers.Node groups 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 Adding, managing, and removing nodes Changing 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.
