I am able to start the nodeagent when the DAS is down. And with
--startinstances=true even the instances are starting up. The build i
used is
Version = Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 (build b33e-beta)
As far as I know, start-node-agent by default should not sync with DAS.
Not sure why your node-agent is trying to sync with DAS.
