Getting Node id, Cell ID, Server ID of Mbean in wsadmin

Basic understanding of wsadmin objects

• Node – an individual system, either physical or virtual
• Node Manager – the process controlling the individual node and all servers in all cells, it executes the commands of the Deployment Manager
• Profile – a WebSphere entity similar to a node concept wise
• Application Server – a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) process
• Application – a Java enterprise application it could be .ear file with some modules
• Cluster – a group of Servers, all running the same applications
• Cell – an administrative domain of one or more servers
• Deployment Manager (DM) – the administration application for a cell

How do all these pieces work together? 

 “Multiple Nodes in a Cell run Servers that contain Applications. All pieces are controlled via the Deployment Manager”
