Registering and Configuring the Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server

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

Setting Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server Extension Properties

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

For details about all the Oracle Solaris Cluster properties, see the following man pages: cluster(1CL), rt_properties(5), r_properties(5), and rg_properties(5).

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 Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide to configure resources after the resources are created.

How to Register and Configure the Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server as a Web Proxy Server

You can configure your WebLogic Server running as a web proxy server in a failover configuration. The procedure below assumes that you have completed the following steps:

• You are using one of the configurations described in Standard Data Service Configurations.

• You have configured the WebLogic Servers as described in Installing and Configuring the WebLogic Server Application

• You have created a resource group for running WebLogic Server as a web proxy server.

• You have started an administration server and a managed server either inside or outside the agent's control.

This configuration does not enable a smooth shutdown. The Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server stop method forces the shutdown of the WebLogic Server, and kills the process. See Creating a Resource That Shuts Down Smoothly for instructions on enabling a smooth shut down. For more information, see STOP Method.

1. Install and configure the Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server as a web proxy server.

   Follow the instructions on the Oracle download site.

2. Add the WebLogic Server resource type.

   # clresourcetype register SUNW.wls

3. Create a web proxy server resource for starting the WebLogic Server as a proxy server.

   # clresource create -g wls-proxy-rg -t SUNW.wls -p Confdir_list=/global/bea/beahome/weblogic103 -p Server_url=http://logical-host-2:portnumber -p Start_script=/global/bea/beahome/user_projects/petstore/startManagedWebLogic.sh -p resource_dependencies=wls-mgd1-rs,wls-mgd2-rs.... wls-proxy-rs

   ---

   Note - If you are running managed server instances outside agent control, ensure that the managed server instances are running. If you are running the managed server instances under the agent control, add the managed server resources that are configured in the web proxy server configuration under the resource_dependencies property. This ensures that the managed server resources are online before bringing the proxy server resource online.

How to Register and Configure Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server as a Failover Data Service

Use this procedure to configure Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server as a failover data service. The following steps assume that you are using the failover configuration that is described in Standard Data Service Configurations and have configured the WebLogic Servers as mentioned in Installing and Configuring the 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 a Failover Configuration for procedures to create logical hostname resources. If you are planning a different configuration, you must configure the WebLogic Server resources accordingly.

1. Add the WebLogic Server resource type.

   # clresourcetype register SUNW.wls

2. Create a 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 Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server stop method forces the shutdown of the 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.

   ---

3. Create a 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.

How to Register and Configure Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server as a Multi-Master Data Service

Use this procedure to configure Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server in a multi-master configuration. The following steps assume that you are using the configuration that is described in WebLogic Server Configured as a Multi-Master Resource and have configured the WebLogic Servers as mentioned in Installing and Configuring the WebLogic Server Application. These steps assume that you have already created a resource group and started the administration server either outside or inside the agent control. If you are planning a different configuration, you must configure the WebLogic Server resources accordingly.

1. Add the WebLogic Server resource type.

   # clresourcetype register SUNW.wls

2. Create a multi-master resource for starting the managed server instances simultaneously.

   ---

   Note - The Server_url must be set to localhostport-number because the managed server instances are listening on all local addresses.

   ---

   The following example starts the WebLogic Server managed server instances mgd1 on node1 and mgd2 on node2.

   # clresource create -t SUNW.wls -g mdg-rg \ 
   -p Confdir_list=/local/bea/beahome/wlserver_10.3 \
   -p Server_url=http://localhost:port-number \
   -p Start_script=/local/bea/beahome/user_projects/domains/base_domain_mgd1 \ /bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh \
   -p "Server_name{node1}"=mgd1 \
   -p "Server_name{node2}"=mgd2 \
   -p smooth_shutdown=true managed-rs

   ---

   Tip - You can create the resource in the global cluster or in a zone cluster. To create a resource in the specific zone cluster from the global cluster, use the -Z option to specify the name of the zone cluster.
