Question : Help on Weblogic doubts

Could anyone clarify the following doubts:

1.what are steps and procedures to install weblogic 9.1 server installation (admin server)
on a solaris machine?(means :Complexities involved?)

2.In weblogic 9.x ,i find an entry in config.xml where the name of the admin server of the
domain is registered .but in 6.x there is no such entry to find out  which is admin server thru config.xml.
only entries are there in which all the server names and their properties are given but no way to identify
whether the server is admin server or managed server.

3.Is the domain directory located only in the admin server only?.means how the managed server know their
corresponding admin server to get the deployment information once they started .will managed server have a
local copy of domain related information .

4.In weblogic 6.x ,custom security realm (security store is LDAP Security store) is used .is it required a caching realm? .
is there any way to make custom security real to work without any caching realm.
though custom security realm is used ,i could see the filerealm entry
is filerealm a mandatory one?

Hi,

1. Everything will be found here regarding the installation procédure : http://edocs.bea.com/common/docs92/install/index.html

2. The starting command of a server indicates if it's an administration server or not.

3. Each managed server needs to connect to the administration server to retreive their own configuration (default mode). Each MS need some of the files of the domain. You can use the WLST command nmenrol() to copy these files on machines that host managed servers. A Managed server can also run independently if the admin server is not reachable.
