2.3.8 Building the WebLogic Domain

For a multi-host environment, you need to build and define a WebLogic domain, which typically includes an Administration Server and a cluster of Managed Servers.

Building the WebLogic domain includes the following steps:

• Add and Define a Domain
  Before you define the servers in the topology, add and define the domain. To define a domain, you must provide the absolute path to the domain home location on a given host.
• Add and Define the WebLogic Administration Server
  After you create and define the domain, add the WebLogic Administration Server to the domain in the topology.
• Add and Define a Cluster
  Before you can add Managed Servers to the domain, you must add and define the cluster where the Managed Servers are running.
• Add and Define the Managed Servers
  After you have created and defined the domain and a cluster in your topology, assign the Managed Servers to the cluster in the domain.
