Installing Oracle Weblogic Server cluster (2 nodes) on Linux RHEL 5

Here is brief description how to install Oracle WebLogic Servers as cluster under Linux RHEL 5 assuming that there are 2 nodes in.

NODE1:

While installing WebLogic:

1) Create domain (say WLDM)
2) In optional configuration check as the following:

 Select Optional Configuration:
------------------------------

   1|Administration Server [x]
   2|Managed Servers, Clusters and Machines [x]
   3|RDBMS Security Store [ ]

3) Do necessary settings for Admin Console
4) DO necessary settings for each Managed server. Please note that you need to set up settings for the second node Managed server as well before it will be installed.

 

Configure Managed Servers:
--------------------------

Add or delete configuration information for Managed Servers. A typical production environment has one or more Managed Servers. Each Managed Server is an
instance of WebLogic Server used to host enterprise applications.

    |  Name*   | Listen address* | Listen port | SSL listen port | SSL enabled |
   _|__________|_________________|_____________|_________________|_____________|
   1| MS1     |  10.10.10.133   |    7003     |      7503       |    true     |
 2->| MS2     |  10.10.10.134   |    7003     |      7503       |    true     |
 
 

5) Configure Cluster.

 
Configure Clusters:
-------------------

Add or delete configuration information for clusters. A cluster consists of multiple server instances working together to provide increased scalability
and reliability.

    |   Name*   | Cluster messaging mode | Multicast address | Multicast port | Cluster address |
   _|___________|________________________|___________________|________________|_________________|
 1->| WLCL   |        unicast         |        N/A        |      N/A       |                 |
 
 

6) Assign Managed Servers to Clusters:

 

Assign Servers to Clusters:
---------------------------

Assign Managed Servers to a cluster in the domain.

    Cluster
    |_____WLCL [1]
         |_____MS1
         |_____MS2
   

7) Configure machines and assign machines to Managed servers. Please note there are two types of machines differed by non-Unix/Unix. You need to fill the only type for each of the node otherwise you will get duplication by machines.

8) Finish installing process by exact installing Domain right after all the setting commited.

 **** Domain Created Successfully! ****

NODE2:

Start installing Weblogic as you did in node1

1) Create domain the same as we pointed in node1
2) In optional configureation check as follows:

 

Select Optional Configuration:
------------------------------

   1|Administration Server [ ]
   2|Managed Servers, Clusters and Machines [x]
   3|RDBMS Security Store [ ]

3) Do necessary setting for exact MS2 Managed server that we did in node1:

 

Configure Managed Servers:
--------------------------

Add or delete configuration information for Managed Servers. A typical production environment has one or more Managed Servers. Each Managed Server is an
instance of WebLogic Server used to host enterprise applications.

    |  Name*   |   Listen address*   | Listen port | SSL listen port | SSL enabled |
   _|__________|_____________________|_____________|_________________|_____________|
 1->| MS2     | 10.10.10.134      |    7003     |      7503       |    true     |
 
 

4) Skip cluster and machine configureation settings
5) Finish installing process by exact installing Domain right after all the setting commited.

 **** Domain Created Successfully! ****

Now you can start node1 Admin Console and Managed server with Managed server at node2. Please note that Admin Console required to be start first once it controls the cluster.
