WLST Remote script.

Question

Hi Guys,
I am new to this forum. Can you please suggest me how to start a managed server of a weblogic which is installed in physical server1 to be started using a WLST script from another physical server2. I used weblogic.jar, wlfullclient.jar in the classpath but its still giving me an error called Java exception WLST OffLine Class not found.
Can you guys please suggest me the way to start a weblogic server from a remote physical server using WLST.
Many Thanks!!

First set your environment properly in order to run WLST. In the directory <WebLogicServer-Home>/server/bin a file called setWLSEnv is present. This sets your Path and Classpath. (weblogic.jar in the classpath should be enough).
A WLST script to start servers is as follows:
print 'START NODE MANAGER';
startNodeManager(verbose='true', NodeManagerHome='Location where the nodemanager.properties file is located', ListenPort='Your Port Number', ListenAddress='your host name');
print 'CONNECT TO NODE MANAGER';
nmConnect('username','password','your host','port','DomainName','DomainLocation','ssl (for example)');
print 'START ADMIN SERVER';
nmStart('AdminServer');
nmServerStatus('AdminServer');
print 'CONNECT TO ADMIN SERVER';
connect('username','password');
print 'START MANAGED SERVER';
start('ServerName','Server');
nmServerStatus('ServerName');
print 'START CLUSTER';
start('ClusterName','Cluster');
nmServerStatus('ServerName1');
nmServerStatus('ServerName2');
You probably only need the stuff to start your admin server.
