Sun Cluster Data Service for WebLogic Server Guide for Solaris OS

Verifying the Sun Cluster HA for BEA WebLogic Server Installation and Configuration

This section describes the procedure to verify if you have installed and configured your data service correctly.

ProcedureHow to Verify the Sun Cluster HA for BEA WebLogic Server Installation and Configuration

To verify that you have installed and configured Sun Cluster HA for BEA WebLogic Server correctly, perform the following steps:

  1. Make sure that you can successfully connect to the BEA WebLogic Servers from a client and that both the Administration Server and the Managed Server are in the RUNNING mode.

  2. Switch the resource groups to cluster-node2.


    # clresourcegroup switch cluster-node2 RG1
    # clresourcegroup switch cluster-node2 RG2
    

    The BEA WebLogic Administration and Managed Servers must go offline on cluster-node1 and go online on cluster-node2. Ensure that the BEA WebLogic Server processes on cluster-node1 are stopped. Because smooth shutdown is not enabled, the BEA WebLogic Server process will be killed by the Sun Cluster HA for BEA WebLogic Server STOP method instead of being shut down smoothly. Refer to Creating a Resource That Shuts Down Smoothly for the configuration that enables smooth shutdown. For more information, see STOP Method for the configuration that enables smooth shutdown.

  3. Make sure that you can successfully connect to the BEA WebLogic Servers from the client and that both the Administration Server and the Managed Server are in the RUNNING mode.


    Note –

    The client sessions might be lost when the BEA WebLogic Servers go offline on cluster-node1 and come online on cluster-node2.


  4. On cluster-node2, kill the Administration Server process.

    The Fault Monitor must detect the killed process and restart the Administration Server.

  5. Kill the Administration Server process repeatedly.

    The Administration Server Resource group fails over after the number of retries exceeds the retry count within the retry interval.

  6. On cluster-node2, kill the Managed Server process.

    The Fault Monitor must detect the killed process and restart the Managed Server.

  7. Kill the Managed Server process repeatedly.

    The Managed Server Resource group fails over after the number of retries exceeds the retry count within the retry interval.

    If the previous steps are successful, you have correctly configured Sun Cluster HA for BEA WebLogic Server.

Troubleshooting

After the BEA WebLogic Administration and Managed servers are in production under Sun Cluster control, do not start or stop the servers manually or through the Administration Console. If you need to perform maintenance on the servers, you must first disable their associated resources.
