Configuring Node Manager for the WebLogic Server/Portal 10 Agent in a Cluster

You have the option of starting Managed Servers in a cluster using the WebLogic Server/Portal 10 Node Manager.

To Configure Node Manager for the WebLogic Server/Portal 10 Agent in a Cluster

1. In the WebLogic Server/Portal 10 Administration Console, expand the Servers node.

2. Select the node for the server you want to manage with Node Manager.

3. Configure the agent classpath in Node Manager:

   1. In the Administration Console, select the Configuration tab.

   2. Select the Server Start tab.

   3. Locate the agent classpath for the specific Managed Server as found in setAgentEnv_sever-instance.sh.

   4. Add the agent classpath to the following classpath text field:

      ${CLASSPATH}:PolicyAgent-base/lib/agent.jar:PolicyAgent-base/
      lib/openssoclientsdk.jar:PolicyAgent-base/locale:PolicyAgent-base/
      AgentInstance/config

      where AgentInstance represents the agent instance directory, such as Agent_001.

      managed-server-instance is the name of the Managed Server instance. For example, server1.

   5. To the same classpath text field referred to in the previous step, prepend the following classpath entries:

      DeployContainer-base/BEA-Java-Home/lib/tools.jar:
      DeployContainer-base/wlserver_10.0/server/lib/weblogic.jar

      DeployContainer-base is the directory in whichWebLogic Server/Portal 10 was installed.

      BEA-Java-Home is the directory that contains the JDK for theWebLogic Server/Portal 10 instance.
