6.6.2: Administering nodes (overview)
Administrative server node configurations provide information
about machines (physical hosts) involved in the IBM WebSphere
Application Server environment.
WebSphere Application Server supports one administrative
server per physical machine. Therefore, it does not matter
whether the administrator considers the physical machine
or the administrative server to be the "node."
(The current exception is for the
AS/400 operating system, on which the product supports multiple
administrative servers on each physical machine).
A node can be in the "running" state, which indicates not
only that the physical machine and operating system are running,
but that the WebSphere administrative server on the machine is also
running.
The administrative server must be running in order
for the node to be active and operational in the administrative
domain.
Regenerating the WebSphere plug-in for the Web server
It is suggested you review the information about administering WebSphere
plug-ins for Web servers, because regenerating (updating) the plug-in
is a task associated with the administrative node.
See instructions for regenerating the plug-in using
the Java-based administrative console.
