## Alternate Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server Configurations

The installation, registration, and configuration procedures in this chapter assume that you are installing the configuration that is described in Standard Data Service Configurations. This section provides examples of other possible Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server configurations.

### Creating a Simple WebLogic Server Resource

This configuration assumes that the START script, `startWebLogic.sh`, can start the WebLogic Server without any arguments to the script. The user name and password that are needed to start the WebLogic Server can be configured within this START script or in the `boot.properties` file.

Note - Starting with WebLogic Server version 10.3, the `boot.properties` file must reside in both the `$DOMAIN_DIR` and `$DOMAIN_DIR/servers/server-name/security` directories to bypass the need to prompt for user credentials when starting instances of WebLogic Server.

    # clresource create -g bea-rg -t SUNW.wls \
    -p Confdir_list=/global/bea/beahome/weblogic700 \
    -p Server_url=http://logical_host1:7001 \
    -p Start_script=/global/bea/beahome/user_projects/petstore/startWebLogic.sh bea-rs

The resource is created in the enabled state.

### Creating a Resource With a Server Name Argument

If the WebLogic Server START script `startManagedWebLogic.sh` uses a Managed Server name as an argument, then the extension property `Server_name` can be set. The START script `startManagedWebLogic.sh` can be used to start several Managed Servers. The `ADMIN_URL` must be configured within the START script. To start the WebLogic Server manually, use the following commands.

    cluster-node-1> cd /global/wls/user_projects/petstore
    cluster-node-1> ./startManagedWebLogic.sh petstore1

To configure a Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server resource whose start script takes the server name `petstore1`, use the following commands.

    # clresource create -g bea-rg -t SUNW.wls \
    -p Confdir_list=/global/bea/beahome/weblogic700 \
    -p Server_url=http://logical_host1:7001 \
    -p Start_script=/global/bea/beahome/user_projects/petstore/startWebLogic.sh \
    -p Server_name=petstore1 bea-rs

The resource is created in the enabled state.

To configure another Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server resource that uses the same START script for a different server, `petstore2`, use the following commands.

    # clresource create -g bea-rg -t SUNW.wls \
    -p Confdir_list=/global/bea/beahome/weblogic700 \
    -p Server_url=http://logical_host1:7001 \
    -p Start_script=/global/bea/beahome/user_projects/petstore/startWebLogic.sh \
    -p Server_name=petstore2 bea-rs

The resource is created in the enabled state.

### Creating a Resource That Shuts Down Smoothly

The default for the Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server STOP method kills the WebLogic Server process to shut down the instance. To enable smooth shutdown of the WebLogic Server, set the `Smooth_shutdown` extension property to TRUE. If this extension property is enabled, the `$DOMAIN_DIR/boot.properties` file must contain a valid user name and password.

Note - Starting with WebLogic Server version 10.3, the `boot.properties` file must reside in both the `$DOMAIN_DIR` and `$DOMAIN_DIR/servers/server-name/security` directories to bypass the need to prompt for user credentials when stopping instances of WebLogic Server. If the `$DOMAIN_DIR/servers/server-name/security` directory does not exist or does not include a `boot.properties` file, create the directory and copy the `boot.properties` file from the `$DOMAIN_DIR`.

To configure a resource which will shut down smoothly in a failover configuration, use the following commands.

    # clresource create -g bea-rg -t SUNW.wls \
    -p Confdir_list=/global/bea/beahome/weblogic700 \
    -p Server_url=http://logical_host1:7001 \
    -p Start_script=/global/bea/beahome/user_projects/petstore/startWebLogic.sh \
    -p Server_name=petstore1 \
    -p Smooth_shutdown=TRUE bea-rs

The resource is created in the enabled state.

To configure a resource that will shut down smoothly in a multi-master configuration, use the following commands:

    # clresource create -g RG -t SUNW.wls \
    -p Confdir_list=/mnt/wlserver_10.3/ \
    -p Server_url{phys-host-1}=http://logical-host-1:port-number \
    -p Server_url{phys-host-2}=http://logical-host-2:port-number \
    -p Start_script=/mnt/user_projects/domains/base_domain_mgd1/startManagedWebLogic.sh \
    -p "Server_name{phys-host-1}"=mgd1 \
    -p "Server_name{phys-host-2}"=mgd2 \
    -p Smooth_shutdown=true \
    -p resource_dependencies=logical-host-1@phys-host-1,logical-host-2@phys-host-2 \
    managed-rs

The resource is created in the enabled state.

### Creating a Resource That Probes the Database

The Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server does not probe the database health. If the database is down when Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server starts, the data service fails to start. To have the Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server probe the database, supply your own database probe script to Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server as an extension property. This database probe must return zero for success and nonzero for failure.

To configure a resource with the `DB_probe` script extension property set, use the following commands.

    # clresource create -g bea-rg -t SUNW.wls \
    -p Confdir_list=/global/bea/beahome/weblogic700 \
    -p Server_url=http://logical_host1:7001 \
    -p Start_script=/global/bea/beahome/user_projects/petstore/startWebLogic.sh \
    -p Server_name=petstore1 \
    -p Smooth_shtudown=TRUE \
    -p DB_probe_script=/global/bea/script/db_probe_script bea-rs

The resource is created in the enabled state.

### Creating a Resource That Monitors URIs

To enable the Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for WebLogic Server resource to monitor URIs that are served by the WebLogic Server configured in the resource, use the following commands to set the extension property `Monitor_uri_list`.

    # clresource create -g bea-rg -t SUNW.wls \
    -p Confdir_list=/global/bea/beahome/weblogic700 \
    -p Server_url=http://logical_host1:7001 \
    -p Start_script=/global/bea/beahome/user_projects/petstore/startWebLogic.sh \
    -p Server_name=petstore1 \
    -p Smooth_shutdown=TRUE \
    -p DB_probe_script=/global/bea/script/db_probe_script \
    -p Monitor_uri_list=http://logical_host1:7001/petstore,http://logical_host1:7001/bookstore bea-rs

The resource is created in the enabled state.

### Using a Non-Clustered Managed Server Instance as a Proxy Server

You can configure a non-clustered managed server instance to run as a proxy server that hosts a servlet that directs the requests to the clustered managed server instances. In this configuration, you can define a failover configuration to make the WebLogic proxy server highly-available. When you define this configuration, make sure that you specify a resource dependency from the WebLogic Server proxy server to the managed server resource. Setting this dependency ensures that the proxy server resource will not try to come online unless the managed server resource is online.
