  ****************************************************************
  The V6.1 administrative consoles panels that display the
  status of application servers, clusters, generic servers,
  proxy servers, Web servers, node agents, and nodes use icons
  to indicate status. The meaning of some of these icons might
  be confusing to product administrators. However, the help
  files for these panels do not include a picture of each icon
  that might display in the status column, along with an
  explanation of the status that each icon represents.
  

Problem conclusion

• The help topics for the Servers > Application servers, Servers
  > Clusters, Servers > Generic servers, Servers > Proxy servers,
  Servers > Web servers, System administration > Node agents, and
  System administration > Nodes panels in the administrative
  console have been updated in the Information Centers for
  WebSphere Application Server V6.1. These help topics include a
  picture of each icon that might display in their respective
  status columns, along with an explanation of the status that
  each icon represents.
  
  The help topics in the information centers contain the most
  current descriptions of the fields and options that are
  available in the administrative console.
  
  Date that information will be available to customers: The
  modified information center documentation will be available
  in the next update, which is scheduled to occur on or before
  June 30, 2007.
