Start the WebLogic Cluster

After you configure managed nodes, you start the WebLogic cluster.

Note: If WebLogic is in production mode, the CA IdentityMinder EAR may not auto-deploy the first time you start the application server after an install or upgrade. In this situation, deploy the iam_im.ear manually from the user_projects\applications folder.

Follow these steps:

1. Start one of the SiteMinder Policy Servers that supports CA IdentityMinder if you are using SiteMinder.

   Note: If you have a Policy Server cluster, only one Policy Server should be running while you create CA IdentityMinder directories, create or modify CA IdentityMinder environments, or change WorkPoint settings.

2. Start the Node Manager on each managed node.
   • For Windows: Navigate to Start, Programs, Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1, Tools, Node Manager
   • For Solaris: Use the startNodeManager.sh script.

     A sample startNodeManager.sh script is installed in WL_HOME\server\bin. Edit this script for your environment.

3. Use the WebLogic Administration Console to start the managed nodes:
   1. Navigate to Environment, servers, managed node, control, start/stop.
   2. Repeat for each managed node in the cluster.
4. If you have already installed a SiteMinder Web Agent, start the Web Server where you installed the SiteMinder Web Agent and the application server proxy plug-in.
