3.4.5 Starting the node manager and managed servers

To start the node manager:

On each computer of the cluster, open a command window and navigate to the appropriate directory:

• (Windows) [appserver root]\server\bin and then enter this command:

  startNodeManager.cmd

• (Linux, UNIX) [appserver root]/server/bin and then enter this command:

  nohup ./startNodeManager.sh&

  Note: startNodeManager.cmd should be installed as Windows Services to run silently in the background. (See Using Node Manager.)

  Repeat the previous step for each additional computer in the cluster.

  You can start and stop configured Node Manager using Windows Services. Ensure that the Node Manager Service is running with a user account having administrative privileges.

1. In the WebLogic Server Administration Console, under Domain Structure, click Environment > Clusters.

2. Click the name of the cluster to start.

3. Click the Control tab, select the check box for each server, and then click Start.

4. Click Yes to confirm that you want to start the servers.
