In this step, on the machine known in the diagram as host1, you deploy a WebLogic domain with the Endeca Server application in it, start the Admin Server, generate SSL certificates on it, and then create three Managed Servers.
To create an Admin Server, generate SSL certificates for the Endeca Server on it, and create Managed Servers, do the following:
See Creating the WebLogic domain for Endeca Server.
This procedure assumes that you have created a WebLogic domain endeca_server_domain. Once you create this domain, the only machine that is currently configured in it becomes the Admin Server.
startWebLogic.sh
This step is required only if you have installed the Endeca Server in a secure mode with SSL (this is assumed by this procedure and the subsequent instructions).
The Clone option is activated.
The next window opens.
The server named Managed-1 is created, but its SSL Listen Port must be enabled and specified.
As a result, on host1, you should have created a WebLogic domain for the securely installed Endeca Server, in which four servers are configured: one Admin Server and three Managed Servers. One of the Managed Servers, Managed-1, is configured to run on the same machine as the Admin Server (host1). Note also that while the Admin Server is running on host1, the Managed Servers are created but not running yet.
The next steps involve using pack.* and unpack.* scripts to create a WebLogic Server template based on this configuration, and deploying it on two of the three Managed Servers, on host2 and host3. (There is no need to unpack the domain template on host1 because it already contains the configuration for this WebLogic domain.)
