NodeManager Experiments using WLST

Create Machine configure NodeManager using WLST

This blog post is renovated with latest WebLogic 12.2.1 version execution output here. We have more generic reusable functions, three different functions each one has independent task. Where the pre condition for this is you must have a domain configured and admin server is running.

1. create a machine and setup the Nodemanager 
2. delete machine from the domain
3. show all machines in the domain

 

#==========================================================================
# FileName      : createMachine.py
# Updated       : 11/22/2015
# Description:
# This simple script will create multiple machines
# and also set the NodeManager properties
# use demo.properties file loadProperties command line argument expected
#
# You can add this function block to full domain
#==========================================================================

def createMachine(machineName, machineIP,nmPort=5556):
        """
        This function takes three arguments machineName, machineIP, nmPort
        The default nmPort is 5556 and nmType as Plain
        """
        cd('/')
        cmo.createUnixMachine(machineName)

        cd('/Machines/'+machineName+'/NodeManager/'+machineName)
        cmo.setNMType('Plain')
        cmo.setListenAddress(machineIP)
        cmo.setListenPort(nmPort)
        cmo.setDebugEnabled(false)

def deleteMachine(machineName):
        """
        This function takes machineName as argument
        It will delete the Machine MBean from the Domain
        """
        cd('/')
        editService.getConfigurationManager().removeReferencesToBean(getMBean('/Machines/'+machineName))
        cmo.destroyMachine(getMBean('/Machines/'+machineName))

def printMachineList():
        """
        This function will display the machines configured on a domain
        No arguments required
        """
        cd('/')
        redirect('/dev/null', toStdOut='false')
        machineslist=ls('Machines',returnMap='true')
        for m in machineslist: print m
        stopRedirect()

def main():
        """
        Here we can expect ConnectionException, WLSTException
        and also BeanAlreadyExist for createMachine function
        """
        connect(ADMINUSER,ADMINPASSWD, ADMINURL)

        print "Before machines creation..."
        printMachineList()

        edit()
        startEdit()

        for i in range(1,5):
                try:
                        createMachine('machine'+str(i), '192.168.33.'+str(100+i),5566)
                except:
                        print 'Machine creation failed...'+'machine'+str(i)
        activate()

        print "After creation..."
        printMachineList()

        HitKey=raw_input('Press any key to continue...')

        startEdit()
        for i in range(1,5):
                try:
                        deleteMachine('machine'+str(i))
                except:
                        print 'Unable to remove machine...'
        activate()

        print "After removing machines..."
        printMachineList()
main()

Excecution of the Machine configuration is as follows....

java weblogic.WLST  -loadProperties demo.properties createMachine.py

create, delete and show machines in WebLogic 12.2.1 domain

Double confirmation with Admin console

Machine in WebLogic Domain configured with WLST

Start n Stop the Server using NodeManager by WLST

[2] Configure a NodeManager to start WebLogic Server instances (using console and command-line)

Start n Stop Server using NodeManager by WLST:

In the sun Solaris environment we need to change few nodemanager.properties to run the NodeManager. There are two kinds of Node Managers available
Java based Node manager
Script based Node manager

while connecting to nodemanager we have received an error as below:

Still workin progress to start the remotemanaged server by using wlst
(I am getting some errors when I tried ...will update this site Once it will done successfully if anybody is done plz post it as comment.)

Hi,
We are also facing the same issue. Not able to start managed servers using makepropertiesobject.

Did u get any solution.
Yes, Archana, We found the Solution as using PLAIN type for NodeManager is good to go.
