Managed server is stuck in STARTING

Question

Hi All,
I have managed severs on weblogic consol.
These servers are linked to the windows services on my prodcution server.
to start and stop the managed servers we used to simply restart the respective services on the production server.
Now the situation is - two managed servers are stuck in STARTING state though i restarted my windiws services several tims?
Please advice ASAP as its a production enviroment issue.. Thanks

Answer 1

same thing in our case but little different.
i have a domain with four different clusters where two instances per cluster and those instances reside on two separate machines. All these instances are under NM control with -Xnohup switch on the serverstart tab.
the problem i have is, when we have a weekly reboot on the two windows servers, one particular cluster instances always in 'STARTING' state. As you can see below the .out log will have the following content and nothing else. EVen for a day or two the server sits on 'STARTING' state with no additional logging in .out file.
At this stage it gets ugly to bring the instances back to normal. We can't kill the instances so we had to use process explorer to kill it. As nodemanager restarts the instance immediately after killed the isntances we had to stop NM.
again start NM and start repeating the steps untill the instances back up to normal. This is not good.
not sure what else we can do. any kind of help is appreciated..thanks
