Node Agent displays inactive in console

[radhas...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I am trying to start a node which used to work fine. But now, when I try to start the server it says the node is inactive even after I start the node. I have rebooted, stopped/restarted the node multiple times, but the WAS console still displays as not active. Thus, I am unable to start the server and deploy my apps.

My log file shows:
[12/26/12 13:34:00:665 CST] 00000002 Win32ProcessI < ping() : Done with existance check Exit
[12/26/12 13:34:00:665 CST] 00000002 Win32ProcessI > waitForTermination() : Requesting to wait for process termination Entry

[12/26/12 13:34:26:328 CST] 00000000 AdminTool 3 Returning from auxiliary method runTool with return: 0

But the WAS console still says that the node is not active:
"Server cannot be started because the node agent for server Directory on node RDSY-L-PBPTMM5Node01 is not active."

Your assistance is sincerely appreciated.

I have the same issue on a WAS 7.0 node federated to an 8.5 DMGR. I see this is an old post with no replies. Did you find a solution and do you remember what you did to fix it? Thanks!

Check your DNS service in the DMGR.

Hi

You can solve the problem by syncing the node manually with the command
syncNode.sh or syncNode.bat
