## Starting a Node Agent

Before a node agent can manage server instances, it must be running. Start a node agent by running the `asadmin` command `start-node-agent` locally on the system where the node agent resides.

For a complete description of the command syntax, see the online help for the command.

For example:

`asadmin start-node-agent --user admin nodeagent1`

where admin is your administration user, and `nodeagent1` is the node agent being started.

For more information, see:
