Moving IRM Licensing and Web Management Servers

We are in the process of moving out IRM Licensing and Web Management server (both on the same machine) to a new machine. We want to keep the same database which is on a different machine.
I have done this before by creating a new database, installing the software into that database and then shutting down the server and modifying some files.
I'm not sure where I found the procedure. It does not appear to be in the els-install.pdf document. Does anyone know of a document outlining this procedure?

Hi,
Have a look at KM note 451747.1 which details the steps for any IRM Server migration.
Regards,
Frank.

What is the Ideal Production Setup For One Admin and 4 Managed Servers

Dear Experts
I will be starting with production setup including one Admin server and 4 managed servers in one single domain.
I am thinking of creating a single node environment(no clusters) as the machine has following configuration
OS : Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter
RAM : 48 GB
System Type : 64 bit
Processor : Intel(Xenon) 4 processors [email protected]
Can you please let me know if this configuration would suffice for the 4 managed servers if i assign Xmx and Xms as 4096 and Heap Space as 1024 to all the Managed Servers.
It is very urgent and i need to convey to the Infrastructure team if harware procurement is required.
We are looking at somewhere around 300 concurrent users(maximum load) and 100(minimum load) at a given point of time.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks in advance

Heap size must be calculated according to the applications that are been deployed on each JVM.
With no deployments, you dont need more than 256k for managed servers heap size and 512k for adminserver. As biggest its your heap size, longer will take your garbage collection. And if you can prevent it, better do it.

Hi, we need to create the test environment from our production for oracle AP Imaging. we have soa,ipm,ucm and capture managed servers in our weblogic..
Can anyone tell me what is the best way to cloning the application from different environment, the test and production are in different physical server.
Can I just tar the weblogic file system and untar it to the new server and make the necessary changes?
Can anyone share their experiences and how to with me?
Thank in advance.
Katherine

Hi Katherine,
yes and no . You need as well weblogic + soa files as the database schemas (soa_infra, mds...).

Dynamically adding and removing managed servers

Hi,
          I'm experimenting with adding and removing managed servers while applications are running on the cluster. I've written some scripts using weblogic.Admin to do the tasks. It seems that it's working. However, I'd like to confirm that this is supported. I also have the following questions:
          1. Applications running on a cluster are automatically deployed to the newly configured managed server once it is started using startManagedWebLogic.sh. Are there any non-error situations that applications are not started automatically?
          2. To remove a managed server from the cluster, I first shutdown the server gracefully and then delete the server from the domain using weblogic.Admin. Is this the recommended way to do it?
          3. Anything else I need to pay attention to before adding and removing servers?
          Thanks for any information and pointers.
          Ming

1. only if the staging mode is external.
          2. yes, if the server should be permanently removed. If the server is down for short maintenance, you do not need to remove it from the cluster.
          3. yes, try to avoid doing this during deployment tasks. That can be nasty.

1 NodeManager, 1 Admin Server and 2 Managed Servers

Hi All, I'm new in Weblogic and this is my 1st time to post a question on this forum. Would like ask for help from you all above my setup, I'm not sure whether it will work or not. Please find out the scenario below:
Setup:
1 Machine (RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.5)
1 NodeManager
1 AdminServer (Name: APP)
2 Managed Servers (Name: APPLIVE, APPUAT)
Currently I would like to using one NodeManager to control both Managed Servers under 1 machine. When I configure my APP Admin Server and two Managed Servers, i would like to nmEnroll both Managed Servers under one NodeManager but it will overwrite my enroll entries if i enroll 2nd Managed Server.
Is it possible to configure NodeManager to accept both Managed Servers entries? Thanks. :)
Edited by: user13602952 on Jan 2, 2011 9:54 PM

Hi Hong,
Following are the few things which you help you understand about NodeManager and nmEnroll
- First of all a Node Manager process is not associated with a specific WebLogic domain but with a machine
- When you run a nmEnroll then you just give "domainDir" and "nmHome" which would then gets the file called "*nm_password.properties*" which contains the encrypted username and password that is used for server authentication and "*SerializedSystemIni.dat*" file.
Example:
nmEnroll([domainDir], [nmHome])
- With above files it also updates the nodemanager.domains file with the domain information which was mentioned in the above command.
Thus when you run the nmEnroll command it would get all the details which it needs to start any managed servers in the same Machine, hence you do not need to run the same commend for each managed servers in the same Machine.
For more information have a look at the below links:

WLC: which software-version support SHA2 certificates for Web Authentification and Web Management ?

Hello,
I tried to install new SHA2 3th-Party certificates on our WLCs. There are old WiSM1-Boards and 2504 to support our old 1230 Access Points, running 7.0.251.2, which didn't install it, although the config manual for 7.6 and 8.0 say that SHA2 certificates are supported since 7.0.250.0. When I tried to install the SHA2-certificates I get the message "File transfer failed" an the log says:
*TransferTask: Dec 12 13:22:14.394: #UPDATE-3-CERT_INST_FAIL: updcode.c:1869 Failed to install Webauth certificate. rc = 1
*TransferTask: Dec 12 13:22:14.394: #SSHPM-3-KEYED_PEM_DECODE_FAILED: sshpmcert.c:4085 Cannot PEM decode private key
I tried to install the same certificates on our WiSM2-Boards, running 7.4.121.0 and I failed too. The same certificates could be installed on a 2504 running 8.0.100 without any problems.
In all 3 cases I tried to install unchained certificates for web management and Level 3 chained certificates for web authentication. I used the following guides to get the certificates (e.g. taken from the config manual 8.0.100):
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/4400-series-wireless-lan-controllers/109597-csr-chained-certificates-wlc-00.html
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wlan-security/70584-csr-wlc-00.pdf
Which software versions support SHA2 certificates and which didn't ? Is the a list for it ?

Hello,
I solved the problem. First I used a Debian Linux system with Openssl 1.0.1. After I searched the internet using one of the log messages above I found sites which mentioned to use Openssl 0.9.x. So I tried a productive and security fixes Debian Linux System running Openssl 0.9.8 and I succeeded. The wlcs accepted the certificate files and used it after a reboot. The Web GUI still shows a SHA1 Fingerprint, but the certificate signature Algorithm is SHA2:
Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption
When you check the openssl.org homepage Openssl 0.9.8 is still one of the actual version of openssl and is still available and fixed. But the Openssl Roadmap says:
"We don't want to have to maintain too many branches. This is likely to include a timescale for the EOL of version 0.9.8"
I don't know the differences between certificates made with openssl 0.9.8 and 1.0.1. Is there anybody who can explain it to me ?

Licenses and second NTP servers

I know that changing the first NTP server will affect the license for UCCX and CUCM. Is this true for adding or modifying the second NTP server?
I want add a second NTP server and I want to avoid re-licensing.
Thank you!

If its version 9.X or 10.X then it should not as license are tied with ELM/PLM:
Ref: https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/115166/licensing-architecture-cisco-unified-communication-manager-cucm-version-9x-faq-live#Q:_What_are_the_benefits_of_this_licensing_structure_over_the_previous_DLU_structure
In case of VMWARE, use 8 to 9 parameters to generate a license MAC. Even if you change any one of the parameters, such as NTP Address or the Time Zone, the license MAC will change. Then, you need to procure new licenses. However, with this Enterprise License Manager in place, even if you made those changes you do not have to worry about the licenses. There is a product instance that has already been added to the ELM. Even if you make any changes, it will grab the required license from ELM.
If its CUCM version 8.X then also it shouldn't technically as licensing is tied with NTP1 and NTP 2 is not mentioned:
Ref: http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Licensing_Model_for_Virtualized_UC_Applications
A License MAC is in the same format as a physical MAC address, i.e. a 12 digit hexadecimal value, but it is generated by hashing the following user-configured parameters:
Time zone
NTP server 1 (or “none”)
NIC speed (or “auto”)
Hostname
IP Address (or “dhcp”)
IP Mask (or “dhcp”)
Gateway Address (or “dhcp”)
Primary DNS (or “dhcp”)
SMTP server (or “none”)

Moving Exchange email and web hosting from Godaddy

While I consider myself very well versed in everything PC/Mac, I am finding that setting up a newly installed OSX 10.6 server is a little more difficult than originally imagined to set up.
I am running 10.6 server off an iMac with 4gb ram and plenty of storage space as well as a great upload speed thanks to FiOS. I would like to first move my email from godaddy since their hosted exchange service is rather expenssive for a small business. If someone could provide a relatively easy step by step on setting this up for a group of 5 users, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

First question - do you have a static IP address on your FiOS link?
If you don't have a static address, but have a dynamic address, then stop right here and don't think about moving on until you have a static address. Seriously.
On the other hand, if you do have a static address then all you need to do is:
1) create the user accounts on the server
2) enable mail service on the server (SMTP and at least one of IMAP and POP)
3) Configure your router to route incoming connections on port 25 to your server (and port 143 and/or 110 if you want IMAP or POP access from outside your network)
4) change your DNS to add an MX record for your domain that maps to your static IP address
The major issue you'll have is in setting up your user directory - that will require functional local DNS, so take your time with that first and work on each step one at a time.

Acrobat and Web Proxy Servers

Hi
I'm not sure if this is a Livecycle question or an Acrobat Question.
We have a Livecycle form that calls a WebService - this works fine on the internet.
One of our customers has a Proxy server, which does a redirect to force their users to enter a Username + Password. Acrobat generates a "Network error" in this environment
Is there anyway Acrobat can mirror this for the WebService call?
My expectation is no - and that the url for the WebService needs to be added to a Proxy whitelist or similar
Thanks,

You are correct ....Acrobat will not know what to do with the authentication prompt from the proxy.

Silent Install w/Admin and Managed Servers

I noticed on versions 11 and 12 of Weblogic, it seems the parameters available for a silent install have been greatly simplified to where it just does a base install. How would I go about getting it to do a silent install with an Admin server and 2 Managed servers? Do I need to do an install and update-install or is there a way I can do all this in 1 shot?
Thanks In Advance
Nic

An example is given here: Middleware Snippets: Automate WebLogic 12.1.2 Deployment.

WAR files on managed servers

I have a question about placing new war files in production. First, why
does WebLogic recommend AGAINST using auto-deploy in production? Is it
for security or stability and what are those arguements?
Second, do I need to move the actual war file to the managed servers
(seperate hardware from the domain admin)? Does it always read the war
file from the domain admin, or will it also read it from it's local
disk? If it does also read locally, which one would take priority? I am
looking for the most reliable way to move new war files into production,
but I do not want to be manually moving files around to the managed
servers if they are never being used.

Another option, although not near as good as a stand-alone tool, I think you could put in the WSDL address for a particular managed server in the Admin Consoles test client. For example, on my machine with the example's server, that is bound to http://localhost:7001/wls_utc/
The one issue might be if you front-end address that gets put in your WSDL doesn't match the managed server that you want to test, then you might need to edit it first, which is probably a pain.
The test client used to be a stand alone deployment (at least I think it was in the 9.2 days), but it appears to be part of an internal application now from the docs:
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs103/deployment/managing.html#wp1021614

Managed Servers not starting with options configured in config.xml

Hi,
I Installed an Weblogic 10.3 on a Red Hat system and i configured an domain and 2 managed servers.
I configured the servers with some java arguments like this:
-XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -Xloggc:/home/oracle/logs/managed-server{1,2}_gc.log -XX:NewSize=128m -XX:MaxNewSize=128m -Xms384m -Xmx384m -XX:PermSize=128m
I do see in the ${DOMAIN_HOME}/config/config.xml the managed servers with the settings that I have configured it via the Web Gui Admin Console.
Now I want to start the Managed Servers with the following command:
+cd ${DOMAIN_HOME}/bin+
+./startManagedWebLogic.sh managed-server1 http://admin:port+
When i check the console, I don't see the correct JVM settings! Also other options that I configured in the Web Gui Admin Console, don't appear in the logfile.
The JVM settings I see, are those from the AdminServer.
How can I change/fix this?
Please help.
Kind regards,
Werner

Hi,
Please add the changes to the startup script startManagedWeblogic.sh.
You can add the memory args settings as "-XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -Xloggc:/home/oracle/logs/managed-server{1,2}_gc.log -XX:NewSize=128m -XX:MaxNewSize=128m -Xms384m -Xmx384m -XX:PermSize=128m"
Please let me know if it dosent fix.

What should be the client url for managed servers in a cluster

Hi guys,
I have created a cluster(cluster_1) having 4 managed servers. 2 managed servers on my machine(IP1) and 2 managed servers on other machine(IP2).
I am able to deploy a xxx.war file on my admin server
also
I am able to deploy the same war file on my cluster
When I try to hit the client url, it gives me back the correct data, but it creates the session on the admin server and not the cluster.
If I remove the xxx.war file from the deployment(deployed on admin server) and redeploy the xxx,war file on the cluster, it gets deployed successfully , but the client url gives me a 404 error.
What should I do, so that after hitting the client url, it creates the session on the managed servers in the cluster ?
My admin server is not the part of this cluster.
cluster ip:127.0.0.1
ip1: 10.25.63.130
ip2: 10.25.63.131
please help
Salil

Hi Salil
This is exactly what I mentioned in my earlier post. You CANNOT and should NOT expose the managed server url (host, port) to the end users. Because as you already figured out, you can specify only one. Or they cannot try one at a time like that.
This is where, the Load Balancer will come into picture like Apache Web Server. After installing Apache web server, usually it runs at default port 80. So you just expose the apache host to outside world. Also most companies will have Firewalls and Apache is outside of Firewall and all weblogic servers are inside the Firewall. In apache, you configure the weblogic cluster details like the host names and ports of each managed server etc in httpd.conf file etc.
Ex: For outside users, they may try like http://apachehost/myWeb/myHello.jsp -> apachehost is the host name where Apache web server is running at port 80. NOW Apache is smart enough to do Load Balancing and Failover. If 100 users access the site with 4 managed servers, ideally each managed server will get 25 requests (load balancing). Also if 2 servers are killed, automatically, request will NOT go to them, but to other 2 live servers etc etc. Apache takes care of this.
Bottom line, please see my earlier post, and you need to have some sort of Web Server like Apache for your cluster setup.
Thanks

Future support for APPV Management Servers

I have heard rumors that APPV is moving away from the separate Management servers and future releases will only support SCCM integration. Is this a true roadmap ?

I don't have any insider information BUT I have not heard this from anybody. I'd lean on the side of not believing this. It's still an ok solution for small Enterprise.
Considering the announcement yesterday, what the future holds for App-V should be very interesting.

Unable to start managed servers from Admin Console "FAILED_NOT_RESTARTABLE"

I recently installed WebLogic 10.3.5, JRockit, and ECM 11.1.1.5. I'm to the point where I am trying to get Nodemanager configured so I can stop/start managed servers through the admin console. I have the following listed in Environment > Servers:
AdminConsole - running
IBR_server1 - FAILED_NOT_RESTARTABLE
managedServer1 - FAILED_NOT_RESTARTABLE
UCM_server1 - FAILED_NOT_RESTARTABLE
I followed the tutorial at http://blogs.oracle.com/jamesbayer/entry/weblogic_nodemanager_quick_sta to get to the point where the AdminServer starts when the server reboots, so I think Nodemanager is working there. If I view Machines > Monitoring, it says Nodemanager "Reachable." However, when I go to restart IBR_server1, managedServer1, or UCM_server1, I get the FAILED_NOT_RESTARTABLE status. I am using the weblogic server's IP for the machine name/host because our DNS is still screwed up. Would that have any affect on this?
I'm completely unsure what to do now. The Nodemanager log shows:
INFO - <Loading domains file: E:\oracle\MIDDLE~1\WLSERV~1.3\common\nodemanager\nodemanager.domains>
WARNING - <Domains file not found: E:\oracle\MIDDLE~1\WLSERV~1.3\common\nodemanager\nodemanager.domains>
INFO - <Loading identity key store: FileName=E:/oracle/MIDDLE~1/WLSERV~1.3/server\lib\DemoIdentity.jks, Type=jks, PassPhraseUsed=true>
WARNING - <Node manager configuration properties file 'E:\oracle\MIDDLE~1\WLSERV~1.3\common\nodemanager\nodemanager.properties' not found. Using default settings.>
So I'm confused why it's saying the properties file and domains file are not found... I've checked and they exist at
E:\oracle\middleware\wlserver_10.3\common\nodemanager\nodemanager.properties
and
E:\oracle\middleware\wlserver_10.3\common\nodemanager\nodemanager.domains
The domains file contains
base_domain=e\:\\oracle\\middleware\\user_projects\\domains\\base_domain
Which is correct.
Any idea what I'm missing here? I can provide more detail if needed. Thank you.
EDIT: I should add that I can start the UCM and IBR managed servers using the start up scripts on the server, but that's not what I'm after. I want everything controlled through the AdminConsole and want to be sure that when the server reboots, all the managed servers come back up correctly.

I've verified this arugment exists in all of my managed servers properties files, yet it still bombs when I try to restart from the webLogic console.
