Verify that the node agent is running before you start
the administrative console.
About this task
Use the addNode command to add WebSphere® Application Server nodes to the
cell which your deployment manager profile is managing.
Procedure
- Run the Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB)
command on the CL command line, specifying the proper subsystem on
the subsystem (SBS) parameter:
- Find the server job for your deployment manager profile.
The node agent job name is the same as the node name for the application
server profile. For the default application server profile, the node
name is the same as the host name of the IBM® i sever.
- Specify option 5 (Work with Job) on
the option line next to the job, then press Enter.
- On the command line of the Work with Job display, specify
option 10 (Display job log, if active), then
press Enter. Press F10 to
display all messages.
- Look for this message:
WebSphere application server nodeagent ready.
If
the message is not displayed, press F5 to refresh
the job log messages until the message displays.
Results
When the message is displayed, the node agent has successfully
started. It can take up to 20 minutes for the message to be displayed,
depending on your IBM i server.
What to do next
Start the administrative console for the deployment manager,
as described in Starting the administrative console for deployment managers on IBM i.
