By configuring assisted lifecycle middleware servers, you can manage representations of externally created middleware servers that were created outside of the administrative domain.
Read about adding middleware servers to configurations for information about installing the node agent on nodes, and federating those nodes into the configuration.
Error xdblade31b04/WASMaintModeDC1_xdblade31b04 has not been started.The server cannot be stopped from this page when this situation occurs.
After you install the node agent on WebSphere Application Server Community Edition nodes and federate the nodes, middleware discovery can automatically create representations of these servers in the administrative console. You do not need to perform the manual steps to create the representation of the server in the administrative console. You can continue to manage these servers in the WebSphere Application Server Community Edition console. Make any representative changes in the administrative console.
You can create a middleware server template that is based on your configured server. After you create a middleware server template, you can create additional servers using the template, which creates servers with the same settings as your original server.
To easily manage groups of existing servers to host an application, configure dynamic clusters. By configuring a dynamic cluster, the product can adjust the number of running servers to meet the application service policy. For assisted lifecycle middleware servers, you group together the representations that you created. These servers must have the same applications installed.
The logs and trace views in the administrative console are not supported for assisted lifecycle middleware servers. For Apache Tomcat servers, BEA WebLogic servers, JBoss servers, and external WebSphere application server, you can view logs for these middleware servers on the machines that host them. For other assisted lifecycle middleware servers, configure the external log viewing service to view the log files in the administrative console.
