Post-Restore Validation

After the ORM stack apply completes and all compute instances have initialized, SSH to each instance and perform the following validation steps before starting any WebLogic processes. All OCI Instances (Servers hosting AdminServers and Managed Servers) will be created in a Private Subnet in OCI Virtual Cloud Network. To access them, an SSH session should be established via a Bastion Host. To find the commands to ssh, click on Stack - Application Details Tab and copy the SSH command example given. The complete ssh command to access the servers should follow this format:

Example:

ssh -i <private ssh key file> -o 'UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null' -o 'StrictHostKeyChecking no' -o 'ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p -i <private ssh key file> -l opc <Bastion Public IP>' -l opc <AdminServer Private IP>

$admin-server> sudo su - <same username as on-premises> 
  1. Verify Restore Completion

    To confirm that the restore process has finished successfully, run the following command:

    cloud-init status
    status: done

    Proceed to the next step only if the status is reported as done.

  2. Check Restore Logs

    Ensure that no errors are reported in any of the log files located under:

    /var/log/owm/

    Review the contents of these logs to confirm that all migration steps have completed successfully.

    Note:

    For JRF domains, if VCN peering fails and /var/log/owm/datasource_update.log indicates the failure, VCN peering must be performed manually. Follow the instructions in the Oracle documentation: Manual VCN Peering

  3. Proceed with Startup

    Only after confirming that the restore process is complete and no errors are present in the logs should you proceed to start the WebLogic Server and Node Manager processes.

    After completing all post-restore verification steps, connect to the new AdminServer instance using SSH. Navigate to the WebLogic Domain Home directory and start the AdminServer, followed by all Managed Servers. Verify and test the WebLogic domain to ensure that the migration has completed successfully.
