Registering and Configuring the Sun Cluster HA for BEA WebLogic Server

This section contains the procedures that you need to configure Sun Cluster HA for BEA WebLogic Server.

Setting Sun Cluster HA for BEA WebLogic Server Extension Properties

The sections that follow contain instructions for registering and configuring Sun Cluster HA for BEA WebLogic Server resources. For information about the extension properties, see Sun Cluster HA for BEA WebLogic Server Extension Properties. The Tunable entry indicates when you can update a property.

See Appendix B, Standard Properties, in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS for details about all the Sun Cluster properties.

To set an extension property of a resource, include the following option in the clresource(1CL) command that creates or modifies the resource:

-p property=value

-p property: Identifies the extension property that you are setting.
value: Specifies the value to which you are setting the extension property.

You can also use the procedures in Chapter 2, Administering Data Service Resources, in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS to configure resources after the resources are created.

How to Register and Configure Sun Cluster HA for BEA WebLogic Server as a Failover Data Service

Use this procedure to configure Sun Cluster HA for BEA WebLogic Server as a failover data service. The following steps assume that you are using the configuration that is described in Simple Configuration and have configured the BEA WebLogic Serves as mentioned in Installing and Configuring the BEA WebLogic Server Application. These steps assume that you have already created resource groups RG1 and RG2 and have also created logical-host-1 and logical-host-2 resources in these resource groups. Refer to How to Prepare the Nodes for procedures to create logical hostname resources. If you are planning a different configuration, you must configure the BEA WebLogic Server resources accordingly.

Note –

Before you start Sun Cluster HA for BEA WebLogic Server, if you are using a database, check that your database is accessible.

Add the BEA WebLogic Server resource type.
# clresourcetype register SUNW.wls

Create a BEA WebLogic Administration Server resource in the RG1 resource group.

# clresource create -g RG1 -t SUNW.wls \
-p Confdir_list=/global/bea/beahome/weblogic700 \
-p Server_url=http://logical-host-1:7001 \
-p Start_script=/global/bea/beahome/user_projects/petstore/startWebLogic.sh admin-rs

The resource is created in the enabled state.

Note –

This configuration does not enable smooth shutdown. The Sun Cluster HA for BEA WebLogic Server stop method forces the shutdown of the BEA WebLogic Administration Server (kills the process). Refer to Creating a Resource That Shuts Down Smoothly for the configuration to enable smooth shutdown. For more information, see STOP Method.

Create a BEA WebLogic Managed Server resource in the RG2 resource group.

# clresource create -g RG2 -t SUNW.wls \
-p Confdir_list=/global/bea/beahome/weblogic700 \
-p Server_url=http://logical-host-2:7004 \
-p Start_script=/global/bea/beahome/user_projects/petstore/startManagedWebLogic.sh managed-rs

The resource is created in the enabled state.
