Oracle Weblogic 10.3.5 Cluster creation issues

I’m trying to create a two node cluster with Oracle Weblogic 10.3.5. During the “Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard” setup process, I’m not sure what to put in for the “Cluster Address” if I choose “unicast” cluster messaging mode. Also the second node resides on another machine. How do I go about creating and adding the … Read more

NLB Traffic Stops on all nodes when a single node is rebooted

We had a 2 node NLB cluster running IIS websites on virtual machines. Both nodes were online, the balancer functioned exactly as expected, (if traffic is 50/50 balanced, and you stop or drainstop a node, all traffic routes seamlessles to the other node.)

Well, multicast communication won’t work, because the root-servers are not … Read more
