Weblogic 9.2 Node Manager Starts, Managed Servers Do Not

Question

Hello,
We just upgraded from 8.1.6 to 9.2.3 and I got the Node Manager and the admin console to start up.
However, anytime I try to start a managed server, I get a failed error. I tried to create a new server and start it, and I get the same error. When I go to the server.out file, this is what I see in the file.
See below.
Any advice / help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
Your JAVA_OPTIONS contains -Djava.library.path which has values with SPACES which is causing the issue.
Example:
-Djava.library.path=D:\bea\WEBLOG~2\server\bin;.;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;D:\bea\WEBLOG~2\server\native\win\32;D:\bea\WEBLOG~2\server\bin;D:\bea\jdk150_12\jre\bin;D:\bea\jdk150_12\bin;D:\bea\WEBLOG~2\server\native\win\32\oci920_8;D:\Program Files\Documentum\Shared;D:\Documentum\product\5.3\bin;D:\Documentum\fulltext\fast40;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\;D:\Documentum\product\5.3\fusion;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\There are some paths included in the java.library.path which contains SPACES like C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\
It means there is a Space between words like 'C:\Program Files'
Please add the complete java.library.path inside a Double quote so that the Spaces will not cause any issue...
Example : with the below run you will get the same exception as you mentioned
java   -Djava.library.path=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\    HelloWorldCorrect way as following:
java   -Djava.library.path="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\"    HelloWorldQuotation mark added in the path which has spaces.
