Setting up Weblogic Clusters

[faisal khan]

i have go through the link and setup admin server and two managed(cluster) servers. i also update running-managed-servers.xml file and add two managed servers. i also start Node Manager as a window service.

the problem is that when i start one of the managed server it will throw exception that NodeManager will not listen devserver9933(managed server).

[Joe Ess]

I've only set up NodeManager on Unix servers so I'm not sure of any windows-specific issues. The easy stuff to check would be to make sure that NodeManager's listening to the same port you've configured your servers to hook up to. I've had SSL issues between servers and NodeManager. Do you have your own cert?

i had also setup cluster on IBM AIX.
But on standalone window machine i have found some exception during startup of managed server shown below.

From Console to start cluster server
