Use this procedure to configure Reverse Proxy Servers for HA for WebLogic Server using the clsetup utility. The utility starts a wizard to guide you through the creation of resource groups and resources for the reverse proxy server instance.
These instructions assume that you are at the WebLogic Server Configuration list of options for configuring HA for WebLogic Server in the clsetup utility.
Before You Begin
You must perform the steps in How to Register and Configure HA for WebLogic Server Managed Servers (clsetup) before configuring proxy servers.
Any project you created to run WebLogic Server exists in the projects name service database for the user that runs that application. If no custom project is created for the application, the default project is used. For more information, see the projects(1) man page.
Have available the logical hostnames that you plan to add to the resource group.
If you are configuring in a zone cluster, the zone cluster nodes are displayed.
If you are configuring in a global cluster, a list of global cluster nodes is displayed.
The utility prompts you to enter the location of the domain.
The default path to the domain directory is typically similar to /WebLogic-installation-dir/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/domain-name where the WebLogic-installation-dir and the domain-name are specific to your installation.
The utility prompts you to enter the location of the WebLogic home directory.
The directory you specify must be accessible from each cluster node.
The clsetup utility supplies the default path to the script found in the WebLogic domain directory. You can accept this value or type a new path.
The clsetup utility prompts for the path to the WebLogic Server environment file.
You can accept the default by pressing Return, or enter a new name. The environment file is typically $WEBLOGIC_HOME/server/bin/setWLSEnv.sh if WebLogic Server is configured through the installation wizard.
The clsetup utility prompts you for the project to use.
If you did not create a project where WebLogic Server will run, select the default project. The clsetup utility finds the names of reverse proxy instances and prompts you to specify one to configure.
The utility prompts you to specify the logical hostname resource for the reverse proxy server.
The logical hostname resource you choose is configured as the host for the reverse proxy server resource that is created.
A single failover resource group will be created for the reverse proxy server instance. The reverse proxy server resource will be configured in the resource group of the selected logical hostname resource. The reverse proxy server resource will have a strong dependency on the logical host resource and an offline restart dependency on the storage resource. The failover resource group will be created with a strong positive affinity on the storage resource group.
The clsetup utility prompts you to specify the optional monitoring URI. This URI can be used by the fault monitor to test the functionality of the WebLogic Server by doing an HTTP GET on the URI.
The URIs will be validated against the configured logical host resources when the resource is created.
The storage resources must contain the WebLogic home and domain directory.
The storage resources displayed should be based on the WebLogic home directory value you specified earlier, but if clsetup cannot find any, all configured storage resources on the selected cluster are displayed instead.
You can select one from the list, or proceed without selecting anything by typing d.
A new panel is displayed where you can then edit the reverse proxy server resource name, then type d when you are done.
The utility displays a summary of the information that will be used to create the configuration for the WebLogic Reverse Proxy Server instance for your review. You cannot edit any of the values here except by typing the < key to go back to the step where the value is specified.
The utility displays the list of commands that are invoked on the cluster and also shows a status message indicating a success or failure. In the event that the configuration fails, a rollback is attempted.
If you prefer, you can leave the clsetup utility running while you perform other required tasks before using the utility again.
