How to start the admin server on another WLS machine?

Question

Hi,
          I have a weblogic cluster with 2 weblogic machines: machineA and machineB.
          The cluster contains 4 managed servers (2 on each WLS machine)
          The admin server runs on machineA (standalone).
          I have a file backup of the domain directory on machineA.
          Suppose machineA crashes.
          How can I start the admin server on machineB?
          Kind regards,
          Pieter

Thanks for your reply,
          I know how to (re)start the admin server on machineA. But in this case I want to start the admin server on machineB.
          The documentation says:
          Restarting an Administration Server on Another Machine
          If a machine crash prevents you from restarting the Administration Server on the same machine, you can recover management of the running Managed Servers as follows:
          Install the WebLogic Server software on the new administration machine (if this has not already been done).
          Make your application files available to the new Administration Server by copying them from backups or by using a shared disk. Your application files should be available in the same relative location on the new file system as on the file system of the original Administration Server.
          Make your configuration and security data available to the new administration machine by copying them from backups or by using a shared disk. For more information, refer to Directory and File Backups for Failure Recovery.
          Restart the Administration Server on the new machine.
          Simply starting the admin server on the other machine does not work because it tries to start the admin server on the ip address of the old machine.
