Automatically start a Managed Sever after a reboot

I have been tasked with getting some Managed servers to start automatically after reboot, usually when Windows patches are installed. Starting the Managed servers through the GUI works just fine, but I would like for these to start on their own without someone getting involved. The server is Windows 2003 SP2, and the weblogic install should be 8.1.4. Nodemanager is installed as a service on the same server as the Admin servers and the Managed servers. I will try to provide as much info as I can but this is the first time I have worked with weblogic.
When the server reboots, all services are started and the Admin server is running, but the Managed Server's status is unknown until I manually start it.
I notice this warning in the Managed server log after the machine reboots and the Managed server status is unknown:
<Warning> <NodeManager> <QA-WEB01> <ManagedServer1> <Thread-5> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <BEA-300038> <The node manager is unable to monitor this server. Could not create an SSL connection to the node manager. Reason : Connection refused: connect>
From what I have read about this warning, hostname verification should be turned off. I can confirm that hostname verification is set to none. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
To overcome this you can create windows services for the managed servers as well.
Also, a good practice for windows hosts is to implement the graceful shutdown.

Automatically starting of Managed Servers

Hi, is it possible to start the managed servers without the use of WLST and the admin console automatically?
I want to make it such that when the Admin Server starts up, a service will run and automatically start the managed servers at a different host via the node manager?
Is it even possible? Please advise! Thanks!

Node Manager uses WLST so I'm not sure how else you would plan on using it?
Node Manager can start your machines in the last known state they were in on reboot using CrashRecoveryEnabled=true:
http://blogs.oracle.com/jamesbayer/2010/01/weblogic_nodemanager_quick_sta.html
Another option is to use the startup/services feature of your OS as Jay described. On *nix you could remotely login to another host and invoke the domain's bin/startManagedWebLogic script directly.

Hypev "automatic start action" not retained after live motion

Hi,
We have a hyper-v cluster of 2 windows 2008 R2SP1 nodes.
We found that the settings we made in the VMs "automatic start action" were reset to "none" after migration between the nodes .
We need to have it maintaned
thanks
Stefano

Hi ,
I think there may be something unclear in my previous email. Ok, I will detail it.
If you make a virtual machine high available, the Automatic Start Action will not work after you perform a live migration. Which means the following setting will not be "failovered" to another host.
You should set this via the Cluster Manager by the following setting:
This is what I said:
If you change the configuration of a virtual machine, we recommend that you use the Failover Cluster Manager snap-in to access the virtual machine settings. When you do this, the cluster is updated automatically with the configuration changes. However, if
you make changes to the virtual machine settings from the Hyper-V Manager snap-in, you must update the cluster manually after you make the changes. If the configuration is not refreshed after networking or storage changes are made, a subsequent failover may
not succeed or may succeed but result in the virtual machine being configured incorrectly.
Thanks. Feel free to let me know if anything is unclear.

Hi Aaron ,
yes I think there's a misunderstanding about the question .
When you say
"If you make a virtual machine high available, the Automatic Start Action will not work after you perform a live migration. Which means the following setting will not be "failovered" to another host."
you mean that it is supposed to work this way ?
I mean , If you make a VM HA with clustering is it an accepted behaviour that the setting of " automatic start action " ( not the stop action you posted the picture of ) is not maintaned after a live migration even if such setting is made through the failover
cluster manager ?
If you are telling me that this is what it is supposed to work I don't agree , because I wish I can have a way to set a priority in VM startup in the case of complete shutdown/reboot .
Working with vsphere as well this is possible and I thought it was the same with Hyper-v
To solve this problem I had to create a group policy's startup script for the cluster nodes in which I start the VM in the correct order with some timeout .
Thanks
Stefano Colombo

How do i automatically start the next slide after the video on the prevues slide is finished

I have slide 1 with a video loop witch tranistion to the next on a click. the next slide (slide2) automaticlly starts plays. I want to know how to start Slide 3 automaticlly after the video on slide 2 is done playing. Slide 3 is also on a loop. and start slide 4 on a click. then repeats......

I once had the same problem, but it was worse because the length of the video was more than the maximum delay that could be set (Keynote'08, I do not know if this changed in '09). I was helped by someone of this community. She suggested adding invisible text fields, each having a delay, sequenced one after the other. Together they added up to a sufficient delay to play my video and go to the next slide after that. I hope this information will be of use, if need arises.

Automatically start SQL Agent service after SQL Server service fails and starts.

Hi!
I have SQL Server 2008 R2 with two main services - SQL Server and SQL Agent.
I'll try to describe my situation. It happens very occasionally, but sometimes SQL Server service terminates unexpectedly. It's my log:
09/13/2013 10:46:21,Service Control Manager,Error,The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 120000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
09/13/2013 10:46:21,,Error,[359] The local host server is not running,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:22,MSSQLSERVER,Error,The MSSQLSERVER service terminated unexpectedly.,Server,1073760843,,
09/13/2013 10:46:22,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #1)...,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:27,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #2)...,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #3)...,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Error,[140] AutoRestart: The MSSQLSERVER service could not be restarted after 3 attempts,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Warning,[360] SQLServerAgent initiating shutdown following MSSQLSERVER shutdown,,,,
As you can see, SQL Server service terminates unexpectedly. Then SQL Agent service tries to start SQL Server service. After unsuccessfully attempts to start SQL Server service, SQL Agent service stops itself. I have the option setting in SQL Server
service to start itself after unexpectedly stop within 2 minutes and it is works well. But I have to start my SQL Agent service after this manually. Unfortunately, I can't investigate the reason of my SQL Server stops unexpectedly and in this case I just want
to make the settings to start both of my services SQL Server and SQL Agent automatically after this. How can I set up this? How can I make my SQL Agent service starts after SQL Server service?

Hello,
SQL server agent service depends on SQL server service so unless SQL server service comes online agent will not come online so agent is depended on SQL server not the other wise.
Now is your server 2008 R2 patched to latest service pack (SP2).If not please upgrade it to latest SP.Some fixes are there in Sp which will subside this issue.Can you paste output of
select @@version
>>Then SQL Agent service tries to start SQL Server service.No this is not the case
>>Unfortunately, I can't investigate the reason of my SQL Server stops unexpectedly
Did you checked sql server errorlog and windows event log completely.Please do so and paste if you find some more info

Any ideas as to what the iissue is?
THANKS for the help - Casey

Hi Casey
The issue is clearly due to some MDS Schema, Packages NOT getting compiled and hence not able to connect to that datasource and hence server cannot start.
Please see this post for the root cause and the fix:
Re: SOA infra is falied
Please note down password you gave for your rcu schemas (soa_infra, mds etc). Run RCU. Drop the existing schemas. Now run the 2 commands that I gave in above post. Start Rcu again. Select Create and follow and use the same password. IF you use same password, there is no need to make changes to data sources related jdbc.xml files.
Worst case, if you can access this MDS Schema, try to compile these packages like from toad, sql developer or some sort of client. I would not recommend this. I prefer above fix as permanent and clean. But if you want, you can try recompiling also.
Thanks

Automatic start of the 11gR2 Cluster

Hey, I try to install 11gR2 on a virtual RAC (2 nodes) in VMWARE ESX4i.
The maschines are running and the installation of clusterware and the oracle sw worked fine.
But I am struggling with the automatic start of the cluster after a system restart.
For a dummy:
Which steps are neccessary to do, to get the cluster running at system restart ?
Which files need to be modified ?
By the way, SLES11 was prepared by the Novell orarun package
Christian
Edited by: user3930650 on 02.06.2010 15:04

Hey,
the files all contain "enable"
But the cluster is not starting at system reboot :-(
Still have to enter: /etc/init.d/ohasd start
also /crs_start crs
Where else do I need to look ?
Edit:
I have an entry in /etc/inittab
# end of /etc/inittab
h1:35:respawn:/etc/init.d/init.ohasd run >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null
shouldn´t at least this entry start the cluster ????

'Start SOA Suite' fails after laptop restart.

Hi I have an issue starting SOA Suite on a laptop running vista.
I installed SOA Suite 10.1.3.1 this completed successfully including config assistants.
Have added JDK1.5.15, (added new JDK to C:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1)

This originally worked fine and I could see all the correct BPEL Console windows etc..
I then restarted my machine and I get the following when attempting to 'Start SOA Suite'..
A box pops up 'Starting Oracle application server'.. However when we get to 67% started, we get the following

I have tried the installation again having done the follwoing as recommended:
1.Disabled IPv6 on the loopback adapter by going to control panel -> network and sharing centre -> view status on loopback network-> Click on properties in status window - > uncheck the ipv4 item
2. Removed the ::1 localhost entry from the hosts file
3. Restarted
4. Tried advanced installation onto XE DB
This still does not work !!
I now get the Oracle application server config assistant failing with:
================================================================================================================
Output generated from configuration assistant "Oracle Application Server Configuration Assistant":
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/sysman/ias/studio/installer/ASControlConfigAssistant
Exception in thread "main"
Configuration assistant "Oracle Application Server Configuration Assistant" failed
================================================================================================================
.. As this is optional the config assistant moves onto the following assistants however it STILL fails on the BPEL Process manager Config assistant with the same
Failed at "Could not get DeploymentManager".
This is typically the result of an invalid deployer URI format being supplied, the target server not being in a started state or incorrect authentication details being supplied.
More information is available by enabling logging -- please see the Oracle Containers for J2EE Configuration and Administration Guide for details.
Configuration assistant "Oracle BPEL Process Manager Configuration Assistant" was canceled.
Why is this not working I seem to have do all steps recommended any ideas would be appreciated
Thanks again

Automatically start VMs after server reboot

Hello,
I use a OVM server (3.0.3) without clustering, and I'm doing failure simulations before going to production.
When the server reboots after a electrical failure, all VM are in "offline" state, and I need to acknowledge all events before be able to start them (thanks the forum for this information).
I would like to automatically boot the VM after the reboot, is there a way to do this ?
Thanks,
TM

Have you tried to put a symlink to the vm.cfg in /etc/xen/auto? That works independent of VM Manager. I beleive VM Manager will update the machine to running in that situation. If not, at least your machines are running while you sort out the problems with VM Manager.
ln -s /OVS/Repository/<repositoryUUID>/VirtualMachines/<vmUUID>/vm.cfg /etc/xen/auto/<simplename>
Where repositoryUUID (hopefully the only one because the manager doesn't display it)
vmUUID shows as ID on the Info page for the VM
simplename is any name you like. I chose the name that shows as Name on the machine's Info page.
Let us know if the Manager figures it out OK or if you have to jump through some hoops to get it to show "running" for these VMs.

ADFS 2.0 service does not automatically start after reboot

Hello,
We have two ADFS 2.0 servers in a farm. Any time these servers reboot, the ADFS service does not automatically start, even though the service is set to auto start. If I manually start the service it starts within 10 seconds.
The error in the logs show:
A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the AD FS 2.0 Windows Service service to connect.
The AD FS 2.0 Windows Service service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
But after the reboot is completed, I can manually start the service with no problems. Again, this ONLY happens on restart. I've searched the forums and found potential solutions for people who have consistent issues with starting ADFS every time.
Any ideas?

UPDATE - I built a 3rd ADFS server and was unable to reproduce the problem, until...
I went in to the service properties of ADFS and saw that even though I specified a Log On As account during the ADFS wizard, it changed itself back to "Network Service". I re-entered our ADFS service account username and password, it was
accepted, and I rebooted. On the next reboot, the service did not start automatically (with the same errors as the other ADFS servers), but I was able to manually start it.
I then went to the original ADFS server having the problem, switched it to use "Network Service", rebooted, and the service started up properly on reboot. I then changed it back to the named domain service account, and the issue came right
back. There are no other errors in the System Log indicating a problem with anything else.
So my guess is that something is happening to prevent the service from starting with the named Domain account on server reboot. But what?

Starting managed servers after rebooting

Hi:
I have been trying to configure my WebLogic environment to start the managed servers
in a domain automatically when the machine is rebooted. I have done some testing
with Node Manager but, as I understood, Node Manager only restarts a server if
it was started using Node Manager and the server crashes or fails. On the other
hand, if the server is installed as a Windows service, it will be started at reboot
time, but not when the server (not the machine) crashes or fails. So, both solutions
seems to be uncompatible. Is it right?? Is it possible to have both benefits,
that is, to get the managed servers started at boot time (as done by Windows services)
and restarted each time they fail (as done by Node Manager)?
Thanks,
Gerardo

I think you can configure the NodeMgr to start ManagedServers instead of having the
Windows Service start the servers. Basically you configure NodeMgr as a Windows Service
and then let NM take care of starting other servers. I believe you have to set
ManagedServer's HostsMigratableServices attribute to false to enable NM start the server.
By default it is true.
