10-10 Configuring and Managing WebLogic Server
Restarting Failed Server Instances
The nature of your applications and user demand determine the steps you take to
restore application service. In particular, these factors influence the recovery process:
! Was the failed server instance an Administration Server or a Managed Server?
! Can you restart the failed server instance on same machine upon which it was
running when it failed?
! What are the network conditions when you restart the server instance? Can the
service instance you are restarting establish communications with its
Administration Server?
! Was the server instance that failed the active host for a migratable service in a
WebLogic Server cluster?
! Were any changes made to the domain configuration made while the failed
server instance was down?
! Was the domain configuration corrupted?
Restarting an Administration Server
The following sections describe how to start an Administration Server after a failur.
Restarting an Administration Server When Managed Servers are not Running
If no Managed Servers in the domain are running when you restart a failed
Administration Server, no special steps are required. Start the Administration Server
as you normally do. For details, see “Starting and Stopping Servers” in Administration
Console Online Help.
