how to resolve the problem ?
open domain file E:\bea\WLSERV~1.3\common\nodemanager\nodemanager.domains on both servers and compare, found the domain file on machine 192.168.0.85 lost one item
cportal_domain=E\:\\bea\\user_projects\\domains\\cportal_domain
add it into nodemanager.domains on machine 192.168.0.85 and restart the node manager service on this machine.
go back to check the status on machine 192.168.0.85 and found it is reachable.
