Node agent server settings

Use this page to view information about and to configure a node agent. A node agent coordinates administrative requests and event notifications among servers on a machine. A node agent is the running server that represents a node in a Network Deployment environment.

To view this administrative console page, click System Administration > Node Agents > node_agent_name.

A node agent must be started on each node for the deployment manager node to collect and control servers that are configured on that node. If you use configuration synchronization support, a node agent coordinates with the deployment manager server to synchronize the configuration data of the node with the master copy that the deployment manager manages.

You must initially start a node agent outside the administrative console. For information on how to initially start a node agent, see the addNode command and the startNode command.

The Runtime tab displays only when a node agent runs.

Configuration tab

Name

Specifies a logical name for the node agent server.

Data type String

Node Name

Specifies the name of the node for the node agent server.

Data type String

Short name

[z/OS]

Specifies the short name of the node agent server.

The server short name must be unique within a cell. The short name identifies the server to the native facilities of the operating system, such as Workload Manager (WLM), Automatic Restart Manager, System Authorization Facility (SAF) (for example, Resource Access Control Facility (RACF)), started task control, and others.

The name can be 1-8 alphanumeric or national language characters and cannot start with a numeric.

The system assigns a cell-unique, default short name.

Unique ID

[z/OS]

Specifies the unique ID of this node agent server.

The unique ID property is read only. The system automatically generates the value.

Run in 64 bit JVM mode

[z/OS]

Specifies whether to run the node agent in 64-bit mode to obtain more than the virtual memory that is available to the node agent when the node agent runs in 31-bit mode, which is 2 gigabytes (GB).

Default false (cleared)

Runtime tab

Process ID

Specifies a string identifying the process.

Data type String

Cell Name

Specifies the name of the cell for the node agent server.

Data type String
Default host_nameNetwork

Node Name

Specifies the name of the node for the node agent server.

Data type String

State

Indicates whether the node agent server is started or stopped.

Data type String
Default Started
