Cloning Domains

Hi everybody...
I'm new to it, so I'm not understanding very well some concepts.
I have a Domain, that has 2 managed servers WLS_FORMS and WLS_REPORTS.
I want to have another instance of forms and reports, to make development tests.
What is the best approch? To have 2 more managed servers, WLS_FORMS_TEST and WLS_REPORTS_TEST, or to clone entire domain.
I had been reading some forums and blogs, and I think it must be the second option.
If it is, how do I make it? Is there any wizard or utility to do it?
I'm using Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g.
My best regards,
Fernando Almeida

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has tried creating a domain on a weblogic server by copying
and pasting an entire domain directory. ie. Copying %bea_home%\config\DomainName
to the new installation %bea_home%\config\DomainName.
When I do this I get the following error when starting up the weblogic server:
"The WebLogic Server did not start up properly. Exception raised:
weblogic.security.internal.encryption.EncryptionServiceException:Error decrypting
Secret Key" when loading config.xml
I assume this is because the weblogic system password is encrypted in the config.xml
file. Is there anyway I can get around this so I can easily clone weblogic servers?
Thanks,
JasJas,
Yeah the security key is tied to the server, what exactly are you
trying to accomplish? Do you want seperate domains or servers? Are
they on different physical servers?
Also what version of wls? 6 or 7?
Will try to help you if I can

  • Cloning domains (WLS 7.0)

    Is there an easy way to clone a domain, possibly to a different machine, in WLS 7.0?
    In 6.1 I just copied the domain directory, edited config.xml and bob was my uncle.
    But in 7.0 this doesn't work due to problems with encrypted entries in config.xml.
    I have found a way around these problems but it leaves me with a domain with no users,
    roles, policies, etc. so I have to manually recreate all security settings.

    Thanks for your reply Gray
    But can you explain more detaily ?
    I have to add class path info as classes url not jar.
    then how can I ?
    for examaple ..
    EAR root Directory
    - ejb1.jar
    - ejb2.jar
    - WAR root Directory
    - jsp root Directory
    - META-INF
    - WEB-INF
    - classes
    - com
    - tobeway
    - util
    if ejb1.jar and ejb2.jar reference com.tobeway.util classes how can I make manifest
    file ?
    Current contenti are (in ejb jar file)
    "Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Created-By: Ant 1.4.1"
    that's all
    Thank for you kind reply.

    (WLS 7.0)
    When I use EAR I met some problem.
    I packed all JSP into one .war file. fot that I had to inclde requredclasses
    into .war because jsps use these classes. then I packed EAR file withWAR
    and
    some EJB jar files. After then I deployed EAR file to WLS. But If removeclasses
    from classpth while EJB deploying Error occured. Because EJBs referencethese
    classes. I thoght if I packed classes into .WAR .. there is no problem.But Error
    occured. I have to include classes into classpth for that ? or Anymistakes in
    my way.
    thank you.

  • Old method of cloning a domain broken in 10.3.0?

    Up through 9.x, I "cloned" domains by copying the admin server's domain directory tree to the new machine, changing the directory paths, manually editing scripts and config.xml, etc. to reflect the new domain name, IP/ports, machine names, etc. Normally after that the admin would just boot right up.
    With 10.3.0, I'm getting:
    <Nov 16, 2009 2:07:44 PM EST> <Critical> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000386> <Server subsystem failed. Reason: weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication denied: Boot identity not valid; The user name and/or password from the boot identity file (boot.properties) is not valid. The boot identity may have been changed since the boot identity file was created. Please edit and update the boot identity file with the proper values of username and password. The first time the updated boot identity file is used to start the server, these new values are encrypted.

    I've tried different usernames/passwords, removing boot.properties to force interactive password questions (which still resulted in password failure!), restoring the LDAP files from the previous day's backup zip, etc.
    Has something changed in 10.3 from 9.x that now prevents this method from working? Can someone suggest an alternate method? That is, other than using the template builder (which screws up too much JMS and other targetting and other fine details to make manual fixup more painful than the method I prefer).

    Hi Steve
    By any chance is this a Portal Domain. If Yes, then you may need to do some additional stuff. For any Portal Domain, the username and password are stored in the database in the table named USERS. Also within the domain root folder/security, a .sql file is created "SQLAuthenticator.sql". And this .sql file is what executed in the Db schema that is connected to the Portal Domain. Now anytime you copy this domain and point to any other db schema, you need to run this .sql file in that new db schema also. Please note this is only for Portal Domain.
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to customize suffix for cloned DC's?

    I'm wondering is there an option to customize suffix for cloned Domain Controllers.
    By default we're getting 8 characters from the original machine and then is appended suffix
    -CLnnnn.
    I wish to change the default suffix.

    The behavior is described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2742959
    "You can also use clone domain controller names that are auto-generated. Such names are created when you do not specify
    a <ComputerName> element in the DcCloneConfig.xml. This automated process assigns a new computer name that is created by using first seven characters of the source computer, a hyphen, the letters "CL," and an incrementing number from 0001 to
    9999"
    I am not aware about a way to change that but you can specify the name in DCCloneConfig.xml file to apply the one you want.

  • Cloning VMs from a single VM which is Member of Domain

    Hello There,
    I have a VM which is got XenApp application server role and we have done lot of testing for each and every applicaiton which will be published through it, now this VM is completely ready.
    We would like to clone this VM and create multiple XenApp Servers instead of going through the whole testing procedure for each application.
    We use VMM2012 and HyperV 2008R2 what is the best way of cloning these machines because when we clone once machine it will have the same computer name and all unique IDs associated with it and it is also part of domain.
    So what should we do in this scenario if we want to create multiple clones of the same machine, please suggest.

    Hello There,
    I have found an article for syspreping the XenApp server if we use this there is no need to disjoin the server domain and i can still clone the VMs from it after sysprep.

    Thanks in Advance!!

    Hi Roshni,
    I'm not familiar with this error....seems like issue with configuration of the machine?
    Some questions.
    1. Is there an SR already filed on this that I could look at to get more details?
    2. Which version of EM 12c are you using?
    3. Which version of WLS are you trying to clone...looks like 10.3.5? Does it have any FMW components deployed to it...looks like perhaps SOA by the name of the directory?
    4. Are you trying to clone from components saved in the software library or from a reference installation?
    5. Are you trying to clone the Middleware Home with binaries as well as domain configuration? Or are you just trying to clone domain configuration?
    Once I get more details, I will look into and get back to you.
    Thanks,
    Nicole

  • Cloning of UCS domains

    Any best practise how to clone UCS domains ? I have to setup 5 UCS domains, with of course domain specific IP addresses, resource pools ?
    xml Backup and then modify in editor is rather inconvenient ?
    Is show configuration a more appropriate way ?
    Any suggestions are welcome
    Walter.        

    Hi Walter,
    My preferred way to "clone" domains is by taking a backup of my "golden" domain --- and uncheck the "preserve identities" box.    That way, on import, all the ID references are to the pool "name", but not the explicit IDs.
    Then the work needed for individual domains is limitted to:
         - Populate the ExtMgmt Pool
         - Create ID blocks, based on "domain ID" and other local best practices.   [ Easiest done with PowerTool]
    HTH,

  • Cloning a WebLogic Domain

    Hi folks,
    I'm trying to duplicate an existing domain, with all its resources included. I've googled it before posting this, and I found ( this ). Basically, the idea is to create a hole new starting from the original config.xml file. So this is what I've done so far:
    0. I have defined a domain with two managed servers, and two clusters.
    1. I create a basic domain in some other server. Same location, same domain name.
    2. I copy the config.xml file from the original domain, to the new domain directory.
    3. I start the domain (startWebLogic.cmd).
    I've got this error message:

    Hi again!
    I'm very sorry. I always try to do some research before asking anything. Well, actually, there is a simple way to clone a domain: create a template domain using the Configuration Template Builder/Wizard. For those who wants to go deeper on this, take a look at this
    Now I wonder, why some people uses this copy/paste config.xml to do this?

  • Weblogic Domain Cloning

    Hi
    I have FMW 11g installed with Middleware Home, IDM (OID Only) and PFRD. I tried using cloningclient.jar and applyclone.jar to new server but it doesn't clone Weblogic Domain.
    I don't SOA installed, so I don't have copyConfig and pasteConfig scripts in my ORACLE_COMMON_HOME.
    So How do you clone complete production server to Test server with IDM and PFRD?.
    Any help/suggestions would be good.
    Regards
    Amit

  • Preparing virtual domain controller for cloning fails because DC not in cloneable domain controllers group

    Hi I am running a virtulized server 2012R2 DC DC02TL.test.local in a lab environment. I want to clone the DC. I am following this tutorial.

  • Is it possible to have multiple SOA Server within same domain ?

    Hi All
    I need to know whether I can install and setup multiple soa_servers inside the same domain so that they can be managed by single weblogic instance.
    The use case scenario :
    We have a single DEV environment instance that has several environments configured with it like PR1, PR2, TR, PY, PC.
    The way we have achieved it is by creating partitions under soa_infra and deploying the code as we move up the ladder in testing phases before we move to separate QA and Prod.
    Because of the way Dev is being setup, we are not able to use/test Oracle B2B properly because there is no way to have environment specific distinction be created in Oracle B2B.
    In essence, at any point in time testing can happen only in one environment for out Dev box because it makes call to Oracle B2B (Trading Partners) and there is no way for us to distinguish whether the call is coming from PR1 or PR2 or PC or TR or PY.
    We have no issue testing it as long as it is not restricted to B2B but with B2B we are restricted because a single soa instance has a single B2b instance. ( We can not have partition wise instances of B2B)
    Requirement :
    Is it possible to install and configure different soa_server for.e.g
    soa_server1 : PR1
    soa_server2 : PR2
    soa_server3 : PY
    soa_server4 : PC
    soa_server5 : TR
    inside the same domain (dev_domain) so that they can be managed from single weblogic instance through Admin console and we can have different B2B instances for each soa_server.
    This way we will be able to differentiate between environments on the basis of ports with the same IP address.
    Please let me know if there is a possibility of achieving the same.
    Thank you so much in advance.
    Regards
    ACM

    Thanks Sharmela for your directions.
    Let me try to clone the soa server and see if it helps.
    Before I move forward, I would like to verify one thing from you.
    As you have mentioned the word "cluster" , I am not exactly trying to achieve the clustered setup "conventional way of load balancing and high availability" but instead I want to have these cloned soa servers( soa_server1 : 8001,soa_server2 : 8002,soa_server3 : 8003,soa_server4 : 8004,soa_server5:8005 )to have separate partitions ( PR1, PR2, PY, TR,PC) respectively.
    I hope I don't have to configure OHS to access these nodes since I want these nodes be available as a separate instance rather than redirecting load in case of any other becoming unresponsive ( OHS configuration)
    I am not sure whether I am making sense but all I need to do is point the PR1 instance having it's own port number(8001) to the PR1 instance of ERP.
    I think it is doable but just wanted to double check with you.
    Please let me know
    Thank you

  • Domain controller 2008 Server with SP2

    Here is a real issue which i cannot track down what is causing it.
    It appears that in windows 2008 Server running DHCP, DNS and AD i am getting some weird errors on the clients.
    The client machines are all Windows 7 Professional x64.
    The Issue is that the Domain controller seems to disappear as the logon server from the client after a few days. On some it indicates that there was no logon server available, but still logs in.. Which should be impossible since i have group policy configured
    to block the ability of logon without a logon server.
    The issue with this, is that over time, the desktops seem to go rogue, they no longer populate the information as to password expiration, and at times don't allow the clients to access the network shares.
    The security log, shows hit and miss as to if it sees them log into the domain.
    the weird issue is that if you log out, switch user, and change the users password, then log back into the desktop with domain\username and a new password the issue goes away for about 10 days.. then re-appears and causes all sorts of fun issues on the domain.
    I took another step and decided that i would give a shot to building a clone test network, using a cloned image of the Domain controller, and it doesn't seem to happen on that side..The test network just has less PC's but they are all the same hardware..
    Here is what i have troubleshot so far:
    DNS looks fine.. no errors or issues..
    DHCP looks fine, no duplicates etc..
    AD has all the information correctly, and the security log looks fine, most of the time..
    Windows updates are all up to date
    All desktops have logon scripts, but i have removed the cached data from the management console (Cred manager)
    Modified Group policy and forced it across the network.. Can see the GPResult from the clients and they have the updated settings, but the clients don't seem to care..
    Group policy is set to wait till network comes up and require a domain controller to log into the client desktop.. This sometimes works, sometimes does not, it was done to see if the problem was happening on other machines, there are about 15 total out of
    47 currently having the issue.
    All the desktops are fresh installs, not ghosted images, not clones, or something you would need to sysprep.
    Thoughts?

    Hello,
    please post an unedited ipconfig /all from the DC/DNS servers and a client with the problems.

  • Active Directory domain migration with Exchange 2010, System Center 2012 R2 and File Servers

    Greeting dear colleagues!
    I got a task to migrate existing Active Directory domain to a new froest and a brand new domain.
    I have a single domain with Forest/Domain level 2003 and two DC (2008 R2 and 2012 R2). My domain contains Exchange 2010 Organization, some System Center components (SCCM, SCOM, SCSM) and File Servers with mapped "My Documents" user folders. Domain
    has about 1500 users/computers.
    How do u think, is it realy possible to migrate such a domain to a new one with minimum downtime and user interruption? Maybe someone has already done something like that before? Please, write that here, i promise that i won't ask for instruction from you,
    maybe only some small questions :)
    Now I'm studying ADMT manual for sure.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Dmitriy,
    I got a task to migrate existing Active Directory domain to a new froest and a brand new domain.
    How do u think, is it realy possible to migrate such a domain to a new one with minimum downtime and user interruption?
    As far as I know, during inter-forest migration, user and group objects are cloned rather than migrated, which means they can still access resources in the source forest, they can even access resources after the migration is completed. You can ask users
    to switch domain as soon as the new domain is ready.
    Therefore, there shouldn’t be a huge downtime/interruption.
    More information for you:
