How to do it...
Carry out the following steps to start and stop the WebLogic Managed Server:
1. Access the Administration Console with your web browser at
http://prod01.
domain.local:7001/console
.
2. Navigate to the Settings for Domain page by clicking on Home and then Domain or
by clicking the
PROD_DOMAIN
link.
3. Click on the Control tab.
4. Select the checkbox to the left of the WebLogic Server name, and click on the Start
button to start the servers or the Shutdown button to shutdown. The Shutdown
button has two options: When work completes or Force Shutdown Now. Select
Force Shutdown Now.
5. Confirm the operation by clicking on the Yes button on the Server Life Cycle
Assistant page.
How it works...
When a start/stop operation is invoked for Managed Server, the Administration Console
issues this command to the Node Manager. The Node Manager receives the startup
parameters and credentials from the Administration Console and starts the Managed Server.
The Managed Server then contacts the Administration Server and checks for configuration
changes and if necessary, updates it. If the Administration Server is not reachable, the
Managed Server uses the local copy of the configuration from the
$DOMAIN_HOME/
config/*
directory.
It's possible to start the WebLogic Server instances without the Node Manager; but unless
you have your own monitoring and high availability method to the WebLogic domain, it is
recommended to use the Node Manager in production environments.
There's more...
The Managed Server can also be started and stopped using WLST.
