I have a WebLogic 11g domain with 1 admin server and 4 managed servers running on 2 machines. Each machine has 3 ip addresses, but only one of those addresses is seen by another machine. Each machine is running a node manager which seems to communicate fine between each other and admin server. Though when managed server starts on the second machine it can't communicate to admin server because it uses wrong ip address. It appears that when weblogic starts it maps itself to all ip addresses, but selects wrong one as the first one i.e. default. That's why managed servers recieve wrong information from node manager.
Is there a way to set preffered listen address in weblogic 11g, but still allow it to listen to all other addresses either? How does weblogic get list of ip addresses? Is the order of them OS-dependent?
Does this answer the question? I believe if you play with the scripts in /etc/sysconfig, you'll affect the loading order and thence the enumeration order. I must admit, I don't have a RH box here to confirm that suspicion.
