Name

Specifies a logical name for the node agent server.

Node

Specifies a name for the node. The node name is unique within the cell.

A node name usually is identical to the host name for the computer. That is, a node usually corresponds to a physical computer system with a distinct IP host address.

However, the node name is a purely logical name for a group of servers. You can name the node anything you please. The node name does not have to be the host name.

Status

Indicates whether the node agent server is started or stopped.

Note that if the status of servers such appservers is Unavailable, the node agent is not running in the servers' node and restart the node agent before you can start the servers.
