Backing Up Configuration and Security Data
Configuring and Managing WebLogic Server 10-5
To enable a Managed Server to replicate the domain's configuration files, see
“Replicating a Domain's Configuration Files for Managed Server Independence” in
Administration Console Online Help.
MSI Mode and Restored Communication with an Administration Server
When the Administration Server starts, it can detect the presence of running Managed
Servers (if
-Dweblogic.management.discover=true, which is the default setting
for this property).
Upon startup, the Administration Server looks at a persisted copy of the file
running-managed-servers.xml and notifies all the Managed Servers listed in the
file of its presence.
Managed Servers that were started in Managed Server Indpendence Mode while the
Administration Server was unavailable will not appear in
running-managed-servers.xml. To re-establish a connection between the
Administration Server and such Managed Servers, use the
weblogic.Admin
DISCOVERMANAGEDSERVER
command. For more information, see
“
DISCOVERMANAGEDSERVER” in WebLogic Server Command Reference.
When an Administration Server starts up and contacts a Managed Server running in
MSI mode, the Managed Server deactivates MSI mode and registers itself to the
Administration Server for future configuration change notifications.
Backing Up Configuration and Security Data
Recovery from the failure of a server instance requires access to the domain’s
configuration and security data. This section describes file backups that WebLogic
Server performs automatically, and recommended backup procedures that an
administrator should perform.
