How installing cell profiles affects starting and stopping servers

If you chose the configuration type "Cell Profile" when you installed a Sametime® Proxy Server, Sametime Media Manager, or a Sametime Meeting Server, you installed a self-contained set of WebSphere® Application Server components for each server. You have this configuration type if you installed different Sametime servers on the same computer or on multiple computers that are not clustered.

A cell profile installs a deployment manager, node agent, and one Sametime server. You can manage the Sametime application through the deployment's central Sametime System Console. However, any WebSphere Application Server administration (such as starting and stopping servers) occurs directly on each server, using its own Integrated Solutions Console. For example, if you want to start a Sametime Proxy Server installed with its own Cell Profile, you must start all the components of the Sametime Proxy Server cell: its deployment manager, its node agent, and the Sametime Proxy Server. Even if you have multiple servers installed on the same computer, you start and stop components for each cell profile installed on the computer, starting with the deployment manager.
