Starting a Managed Server with WLST and NodeManager

1) factor out commonly used constants into a setenv.sh file:

#!/bin/sh

#prefix for domain 
PREF=osbpr1
Interface=bond0
AdminIP=10.56.5.119
NetMask=255.255.255.0

JAVA_HOME="/opt/oracle/java"
MW_HOME="/opt/oracle/fmw"
WL_HOME="${MW_HOME}/wlserver_10.3"

DOM_HOME=/opt/oracle/domains

LOG_HOME=/var/log/weblogic
# home of certificates
CERT_HOME=/opt/oracle/certs

JAVA_VERSION=java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.29.x86_64

2) prepare a NodeManager userConfigFile:

/opt/oracle/domains/osbdv1do/nmuserconfigfile.secure

containing

weblogic.management.username={AES}hU8qRGjiFmqK6kHqG8yZlpXTD+KZGjld85q7sIgMP4w\=
weblogic.management.password={AES}xF+6rgG5NqNYBxDzqR/MlLlR1iYSqQezJrJ+Mi52gTc\=

and a userKeyFile /opt/oracle/domains/osbdv1do/nmuserkeyfile.secure



3) Prepare a startAdmin.py file (in reality it can start ANY server, not only the admin):

adminName = sys.argv[1]
domainName = sys.argv[2]
nmHost = sys.argv[3]

nmPort = '5556'
domHome='/opt/oracle/domains/' + domainName

print nmHost, nmPort, domainName, adminName

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# connect to NodeManager
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
nmConnect( userConfigFile=domHome + '/nmuserconfigfile.secure', userKeyFile=domHome + '/nmuserkeyfile.secure', host=nmHost, port=nmPort, domainName=domainName, domainDir=domHome, nmType='plain' )

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# start the server
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
try:

    nmStart( adminName, domHome )

except:
    nmDisconnect()
    exit('y', 4)


nmDisconnect()
