To Create a Node Agent on Node 1

This procedure creates a node agent on the port 5555, which is the default port for node agents. A node agent is required to create managed servers.

1. Log in to the administrator server.

   http://node1.domain-name:7001/console

2. Click Machines and click Configure a New Machine.

3. Enter a name for the node agent, and click Create. For example, node_1.

   By default, the node agent runs on the port 5555. If you need any other port, enter the port number in the Node Manager tab.

4. On Node 1, start the node agent.
