Managed Servers

From this screen, you can add, delete, or clone Managed Servers, and assign a user-expandable server group (if available) to a Managed Server. You can also change the settings for an existing Managed Server.


Note:

You can create Managed Servers on remote machines by using the pack and unpack commands. More


Column Description

Server Name

Valid server names are a string of characters (alphabetic and numeric). The name must be unique in the domain.

Listen Address

From the drop-down list, select a value for the listen address. See Specifying the Listen Address for information about the available values.

Listen port

Enter a valid value for the listen port to be used for regular, nonsecure requests (through protocols such as HTTP and T3). The default value is the next available listen port. If you leave this field blank, the default value is used. The valid listen port range is from 1 to 65535.

For more information, see Specifying the Listen Port.

Enable SSL

Select this check box to enable the SSL listen port. By default, SSL is disabled for all new servers.

SSL listen port

This field is enabled only if you selected the SSL enabled check box for the server.

Enter a valid value to be used for secure requests (through protocols such as HTTPS and T3S). The default value is the next available listen port. If you leave this field blank, the default value is used. The valid listen port range is from 1 to 65535.

Server Groups

If any of the templates you selected to create or update your domain contain a user-expandable server group definition, the Server Groups column is displayed. For each Managed Server, select the check box for each server group you want to assign to the server. Only server groups that are defined as user-selectable are displayed in the list. Typically, you should accept the defaults for Fusion Middleware product servers.

Note: If you clone a Managed Server, the server group assignments are identical to the original server. Cloning is recommended for creating additional Fusion Middleware product servers.

The selected server group determines the applications and services that are mapped to a given Managed Server. For example, if you select the OVAB_MAN_SVR group for a server, all applications and services that are mapped to that server group in the config-groups.xml file for the domain are automatically targeted to the server.More


To add a server, click Add and configure the settings for the new server. The default name for a new server is new_ManagedServer_n, where n starts at 1 and increments for each new server you add.

To clone a server, click in the row for the server you want to clone, and then click Clone. The default name for the new clone is original_server_name_clonen, where n starts at 1 and increments for each new server that you clone from that server. When you create a Managed Server that is a clone of an existing Managed Server, all applications and libraries that are targeted to the source server are also deployed to the clone. The cloned server is also assigned to all server groups to which the source server is assigned (if any). In addition, any of the following services that are targeted to the source server are automatically targeted to the clone:

To delete a server, select the server and click Delete. You can delete only one server at a time.
