Creating the node

If you have network deployment environment, you will have different nodes. The deployment manager will manage these nodes using a process called node agent. In order to manage a node it must be defined and started.
You can create a new node with following options
-You can add it to the cell
-You can create a standalone node, which you can add later to cell if required
Creating from Deployment manager admin console:
1. Select System Administration -> Nodes -> Add Node.
2. Select Managed node and click Next.
3. Specify the host name of the node to be added to the cell.
4. Fill in the following fields, as applicable:

JMX connector type and port
Select the JMX connector type. You can select between SOAP and RMI. If you select SOAP, enter the SOAP_CONNECTOR_PORT number for the application server. If you select RMI, enter the ORB_LISTENER_ADDR ESS number for the application server. These port numbers can be found in serverindex.xml.
Include applications
Check this box if you want the applications currently installed on the application server in the node to be included. If you do not check this box, any existing applications on the server will be uninstalled during the process.
Include buses
If the node you are adding includes a service integration bus and you want to include it in the federation, check this box. The bus name has to be unique w ithin the cell. If there is already a bus by the same name, the node will not be added.
Starting port
If you want to specify the ports for the node rather than taking the default, you can specify a starting port. The numbers will be incremented from this number.
CoreGroupName
If you have defined core groups other than the default core group, you can specify the group of which this node will be a member.
NodeGroupName
If you have defined node groups other than the default node group, you can specify the group of which this node will be a member.
Click OK. The messages will be displayed on the administrative console.

Using addnode command

1. Open a command line window on the system that has the running standalone application server.
2. Change the directory to the <profile_home> /bin directory of the standalone application server installation.
3. Run the addNode command.
The syntax of the addNode command is as follows:
addNode.bat(sh) <dmgr_host> <dmgr_port> [options]
The command must be run from the node’s <profile_home> /bin . It cannot be run from the deployment manager. The <dmgr_host> and <dmgr_port> parameters give the location of the deployment manager. The <dmgr_host> parameter is required. The default JMX connector type to use is SOAP and the default port number for SOAP is 8879. if you want to change the connector type or the dmgr_host or dmgr_port you can use the options.
