Start managed servers via admin console

Question

Hello,
I have installed weblogic server, created a domain, added a managed server. All working fine. Now I want to be able to start managed server through admin console.
According to this documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/adminguide/confignodemgr.html), it should all be pre-configured for development environment. But when i try start the managed server in admin console, it says "server does not have a machine associated with it." I added a machine and assigned that machine to the managed server, now it says "the Node Manager associated with machine m1 is not reachable.".
Can someone point to instructions on how to setup this on dev environment. In one of the instructions, it is suggested to change nodemanager.properties in common\nodemanager folder. But this file doesn't exist in my environment.
All i want is to start all admin and managed server with one script or with start the admin server and able to start the managed servers via console.
Thanks,

Hi,
Check from the console whether your node manager is reachable or not.
Console Path:
Machines -> <YOUR_MACHINE_NAME> -> Monitoring (tab) -> Node Manager Status (sub-tab) -> Status: Reachable
You Can follow the below link for "Node manager not reachable"

Once done,check the status of the node manager.
Still even after this if the node manager is not reachable
Check the node manager logs,whether you get any exceptions
location $weblogic_home\wlserver_10.3\common\nodemanager\nodemanger.log
You can take help of the below link for trouble shooting the basic node manager exceptions.
