How to Install WebLogic Server
Note -
This procedure is based on the configuration that is described in
Simple Configuration. If you are planning a different configuration,
you must configure the WebLogic Server accordingly.
-
Follow the WebLogic Server documentation to install the WebLogic Server on the
cluster file system or a highly available local file system.
-
Follow the WebLogic Server Administration Guide to configure the
WebLogic Domain.
Note -
For failover services, type the logical host name or its IP address when configuring the
WebLogic Servers.
For multi-master configurations, ensure that each Managed Server is configured to listen on
each logical hostname or its IP address.
-
After completing all necessary configuration for the domain, shut down the Administration
Server.
-
Edit the Administration Server START script and the Managed Server START script by setting the
WLS_USER and WLS_PW.
The START scripts should be able to run without any arguments.
Note -
To perform a smooth shutdown of the WebLogic Server, the
boot.properties file with a valid user name and password is required. You do not
need to set the WLS_USER and WLS_PW variables for a smooth
shutdown if the boot.properties file is available. This waiver applies only to
WebLogic Server 8.1 or later versions.
Note -
Starting with WebLogic Server version 10.3, the
boot.properties
file must reside in both the
$DOMAIN_DIR and
$DOMAIN_DIR/servers/server-name/security directories
to bypass the need to prompt for user credentials when starting and stopping instances of
WebLogic Server. If the
$DOMAIN_DIR/servers/server-name/security directory
does not exist or does not include a
boot.properties file, create the directory
and copy the
boot.properties file from the
$DOMAIN_DIR.
For more information about the
boot.properties file for WebLogic Server
version 12
c, see
http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/wls/index.html.
-
In the Managed Server START script, set the ADMIN_URL and the
SERVER_NAME variables.
This script should be able to run without any arguments.
-
Set the necessary environment variables in the setWLSEnv.sh or the
startWLS.sh scripts.
These environment variables include any additional CLASSPATH or
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc. These scripts contain all necessary environmental variables
such as CLASSPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Note -
Starting with WebLogic Server version 10.3, the startWLS.sh script
has been removed. Therefore, these environment settings must be made only in the
setWLSEnv.sh script.
-
For versions of WebLogic Server before 10.3, verify that the
config.xml file is in the same directory as the START scripts.
-
For a multi-master configuration of WebLogic Server installed on a local file system,
replicate the domain and Managed Servers across the cluster.
-
Use the pack.sh command to create a template of the domain and Managed
Servers that you created.
-
Copy the template to other Oracle Solaris Cluster nodes.
-
Use the unpack.sh command to unpack the template to create the domain and
Managed Servers.
