Node Agent creation

Hello,

Let's say on machine A we have a domain with its DAS running on some port number.
I'm trying to understand how to create a node agent on machine B.

I saw here "http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3679/abdjw?a=view" saying:

"Use the installer or the asadmin create-node-agent command ".

My question is:
- what is "THE" installer and where can it be found?
- if running the "asadmin" tool on machine B to create it on machine B i guess this tool must be installed. Do you have to install the Application Server just for that or can it be installed separatly? I mean can you download somewhere the asadmin ?
- to run an server instance on machine B, we use the asadmin tool again against the DAS on machine B. Does this command copy files on machine B to create the server instance or the application server MUST be installer on machine B and are used when creating the new instance on machine B.

I'm trying to find out what it is needed for setting up a cluster with instances on several machines. What CLI command to run and against what host machines.

Thank you.
