You configure and deploy your node agents in one of two ways:
Before you deploy node agents:
Once the Domain Administration Server is up and running, begin either online or offline deployment.
To configure the domain if you know the topology and have the hardware for your domain before you start configuring it, use online deployment.
To configure online deployment:
Use the installer or the asadmin
command create-node-agent
. If a machine requires more than one node agent, use the asadmin
command create-node-agent
to create them.
See "Creating a Node Agent" for more information.
asadmin
command start-node-agent
.When started, a node agent communicates with the Domain Administration Server (DAS). When it reaches the DAS, a configuration for the node agent is created on the DAS. Once the configuration exists, the node agent is viewable in the Admin Console.
See "Starting a Node Agent" for more information.
The offline approach lets you easily define and rearrange items in the domain before configuring the individual local machines.
To configure the domain and server instances before setting up node agents on local machines (offline configuration):
See "Creating a Node Agent Placeholder" for more information.
Use the installer or the asadmin
command create-node-agent
. The node agents must have the same names as the placeholder node agents previously created.
See "Creating a Node Agent" for more information.
asadmin
command start-node-agent
.When a node agent is started, it binds to the Domain Administration Server and creates any server instances previously associated with the node agent.
See "Starting a Node Agent" for more information.
