Server collection

Operating Systems: i5/OS

Server collection

Use this page to view information about and manage application servers, JMS servers, and Web servers.

For the Network Deployment product, you can also use this page to view information about and manage generic servers.

Application servers

The Application servers page lists the application servers in the cell. You can use this page to start and stop these application servers.

If you are using the Network Deployment product and have created clusters, you can also use this page to manage application servers that are cluster members if the console page preference is selected...

Include cluster members in the collection

When this preference is selected, a Cluster Name column is included in the application server information table. If an application server is part of a cluster, the Cluster Name column specifies the name of that cluster. If this preference is not selected, the Cluster Name column does not appear in the table and application servers that are cluster members are not listed in the list of application servers and cannot be managed from this page.

If you are using the Network Deployment product, this page also displays the status of the application servers. The status indicates whether a server is running, stopped, or encountering problems. You can also use this page to create new application servers, create application server templates, or delete existing application servers.

Generic servers

The Generic servers page is only available for the Network Deployment product. This page lists the generic servers in the cell and displays the status of these generic servers. The status indicates whether a server is running, stopped, or encountering problems. You can use this page to start and terminate these generic servers. You can also use this page to create new generic servers, create generic server templates, delete existing generic servers, or stop a generic server.

Java message service (JMS) servers

The JMS servers page lists the JMS servers in the cell. You can use this page to start and stop these JMS servers. Each JMS server provides the functions of the JMS provider for a node in your administrative domain. There can be at most one JMS server on each node in the administration domain, and any application server within the domain can access JMS resources served by any JMS server on any node in the domain. To view this administrative console page, click...

Servers | JMS servers

Note: JMS servers apply only to WebSphere Application Server V5.x nodes. You cannot create a JMS server on a node that is running WebSphere Application Server 6.x, but the existing V5.x JMS servers continue to be displayed, and you can modify their properties. However, you cannot use this page to delete a V5.x JMS server.

Web servers

The Web servers page lists the Web servers in your administrative domain. You can use this page to generate and propagate a Web server plug-in configuration file, create new Web servers, create new Web server templates, or delete existing Web servers. You can also use this page to start and stop these Web servers. To view this administrative console page, click...

Name

Specifies a logical name for the server. For WebSphere Application Server, server names must be unique within a node.

Node

Specifies the name of the node holding the server.

V

Specifies the version of the WebSphere Application Server product on which the server runs.

Status

This field only displays for the Network Deployment product. It indicates whether the server is started, stopped, partially stopped, or unavailable. If the status is unavailable, the node agent is not running in that node and restart the node agent before you can start the server.

Started
Started The server is running.

Partially stopped
Partially stopped The server is in the process of changing from a started state to a stopped state.

Stopped
Stopped The server is not running.

Unavailable
Unavailable Status cannot be determined.
A server with an unavailable status might, in fact, be running but has an unavailable status because the application server that is running the administrative console cannot communicate with this server.

	Started	The server is running.
	Partially stopped	The server is in the process of changing from a started state to a stopped state.
	Stopped	The server is not running.
	Unavailable	Status cannot be determined. A server with an unavailable status might, in fact, be running but has an unavailable status because the application server that is running the administrative console cannot communicate with this server.
