Configuring Managed Servers

In WebLogic we have three choices for Configuring the Managed servers.

1.  Admin console . 
2. config.sh / config.cmd ( configuration wizard) 
3. WLST 

1. Using Administration console

1. Log in to admin console with your credentials
2. In the Left pane, expand the Environment in the Domain Structure > select the Server  
3. In the work-area that right side, click on the New button to Creating the Managed Servers 

Adding New managed server -  Click on New button

Update the New Managed server attribute values

Summary of Servers - Newly created managed server visible

 when does the managed server named directory will be created?
Lets check the servers directory in the domain directory... Here no new server name it will not created when it is configured.It will be

WebLogic Domain directory

Starting of Managed Servers  Syntax

Here I have a Linux environment where I can use startManagedServer.sh for those who are using Windows platform can use startManagedServer.cmd.

 vagrant@precise64:~/wlsdomain/Demo2_Domain/bin$ ./startManagedWebLogic.sh Demo2_MS1 http://192.168.33.10:8001
 

Managed servers directory will be created after First Time it Started.

2. Using the configuration Wizard to create Managed servers

To invoke the configuration Wizard we have to navigate to $WL_HOME/common/bin directory.
To run the wizard in Windows platform you have to use config.cmd script and in the Unix platform config.sh provided that platform must support X-Windows (X11 forwarding).

Here, I have Windows sample:

Invoking WebLogic domain Configuration Wizard

Configuration Wizard Choose existing Domain 

Select the Managed Servers for configuration

Add the Managed Servers - provide Name, Listen Address, Port

Skip Cluster, Machine Configurations

Configuration Summary - Added two managed servers to Domain Demo1

Configuration Progress

Finally Successful configuration changes to the Demo1 Domain
