3 Overview of Node Manager
3-8 Configuring and Managing WebLogic Server
on Managed Servers while it was down. When Node Manager is restarted, if a
Managed Server it was previously monitoring is not running, it will
automatically restart it.
Prerequisites for Automatic Restart of Managed Servers
For Node Manager to restart failed Managed Servers, the behavior must be configured
appropriately, as described in “Configure Monitoring, Shutdown and Restart for
Managed Servers” on page 4-6. In addition, the following prerequisites apply:
! A Node Manager process can automatically monitor, shutdown, and restart only
those Managed Servers that it started. It cannot provide these services for
Managed Servers booted directly from the command line.
! If the event that caused a Manager Server to fail also causes Node Manager to
fail, the Node Manager process on the machine where the Managed Server runs
must be restarted, either by the operating system or manually, to be available to
restart the failed Managed Server.
