Configure Managed Nodes

To configure the managed nodes in a cluster, you copy files from the cluster domain on the Administration Server to each managed node, and then configure the JDBC drivers for the cluster.

To configure managed nodes

1. If you have installed NodeManager as a Windows service, it must be disabled first as follows:
   1. Double-click Administrative Tools on the Control Panel.
   2. Double-click the Services icon.
   3. Double click BEA Products NodeManager.
   4. Click Stop.
   5. Click Startup type and select Disabled.
2. Open Weblogic Admin Server Administration console
   1. Navigate to Environment, Servers, Server, Server Start tab.
   2. Fill in Java Home with Sun JDK home location of the JDK shipped with the application server.

      For example: C:\bea\jdk160_05

   3. Fill in Java Vendor with Sun.
   4. Fill in Class Path with the fully resolved content of WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH from commEnv.{cmd,sh} file shipped with the Application installation supplemented by WL_HOME\server\lib\ojdbc14.jar;WL_HOME\server\lib\sqljdbc.jar where WL_HOME is as set in commEnv.{bat.sh} file shipped with the product.

      For example:

      C:\bea\patch_wls1030\profiles\default\sys_manifest_classpath\weblogic_patch.jar;
      C:\bea\patch_cie660\profiles\default\sys_manifest_classpath\weblogic_patch.jar;
      C:\bea\JDK160~1\lib\tools.jar;C:\bea\WLSERV~1.3\server\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;
      C:\bea\WLSERV~1.3\server\lib\weblogic.jar;
      C:\bea\modules\features\weblogic.server.modules_10.3.0.0.jar;
      C:\bea\WLSERV~1.3\server\lib\webservices.jar;
      C:\bea\modules\ORGAPA~1.5/lib/ant-all.jar;
      C:\bea\modules\NETSFA~1.0_1/lib/ant-contrib.jar;
      C:\bea\WLSERV~1.3\server\lib\ojdbc14.jar;C:\bea\WLSERV~1.3\server\lib\sqljdbc.jar
      

   5. Fill in arguments with:

       -server -Xms768m -Xmx768m -XX:MaxPermSize=492m -Djavax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory=weblogic.xml.stax.XMLStreamInputFactory
      

3. Open commEnv.{cmd,sh} file under WL_HOME\weblogic92\common\bin or WL_HOME\weblogic103\common\bin. At the end of the file, add the following:
   1. For Windows

      set IM_SM_PATH=%WL_HOME%\common\nodemanager\servers\<server>\stage\IdentityMinder\IdentityMinder.ear\library
      set PATH=%PATH%;%IM_SM_PATH%
      

   2. For UNIX

      IM_SM_PATH=${WL_HOME}/common/nodemanager/servers/<server>/stage/IdentityMinder/IdentityMinder.ear/library
      LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${IM_SM_PATH}
      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
