To create an instance of per domain, Java-based Node Manager in a new domain, complete the following steps:

1. Start the Configuration Wizard:
   1. From a command window, change to the ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin directory, where ORACLE_HOME represents the directory you specified as the Oracle Home when you installed Oracle WebLogic Server.
   2. Execute the config.cmd command for Windows or the config.sh command for UNIX.
2. Use the Configuration Wizard to create a new, basic domain:
   1. On the Create Domain screen, select Create a new domain and select a domain directory location. This is your DOMAIN_HOME directory. Click Next.
   2. On the Templates screen, accept the default Create Domain Using Product Templates. Click Next.
   3. On the Administrator Account screen, enter the credentials of the Oracle WebLogic Server administrator. Click Next.
   4. On the Domain Mode and JDK screen, accept the default Domain Mode and JDK. Click Next.
3. Create a Node Manager instance, a Managed Server, and a machine in your domain:
   1. On the Advanced Configuration screen, select Node Manager and Topology options. Click Next.
   2. On the Node Manager screen, accept Per Domain Default Location as the default Node Manager type and enter the credentials of the Node Manager administrator. Click Next.
   3. On the Managed Servers screen, click Add. Accept the default server name, listen address, and listen port (7003). Click Next.
   4. On the Clusters screen, click Next.
   5. On the Machines screen, click Add. Accept the default machine name, Node Manager listen address, and Node Manager listen port. Click Next.
4. Assign the Administration Server and Managed Server to your machine:
   1. On the Assign Servers to Machines screen, select your Administration Server and Managed Server in the left column.
   2. Use the right arrow button to assign the Administration Server and Managed Server to your machine in the right column.
   3. Click Next.
5. Complete your domain configuration:
   1. On the Configuration Summary screen, review your configuration and click Create.
   2. When the Configuration Process screen shows that your domain has been created successfully, click Next.
   3. On the Configuration Success screen, select Start Admin Server to start your domain. Click Finish.

To start Node Manager in your domain, complete the following steps:

To start a Managed Server in your domain using Node Manager, complete the following steps:

1. Start the WebLogic Remote Console:
   1. Ensure that the Administration Server is running.

      If you selected the Start Admin Server option in the Configuration Wizard, the Administration Server should be running.

      If the Administration Server is not running, change to the DOMAIN_HOME/bin directory and execute the startWebLogic.cmd command for Windows or the startWebLogic.sh command for UNIX.

   2. Connect to an Administration Server. For more information, see Connect to an Administration Server in the Oracle WebLogic Remote Console Online Help.
2. Ensure that Node Manager is running.
   1. In the Remote Console, in the Monitoring Tree, go to Environment, then Node Manager Logs.
   2. In the Machines table, select the name of your machine.
   3. If Node Manager is running, Reachable will be true.

   Note:

   To configure Node Manager settings in the WebLogic Remote Console, in the Edit Tree, go to Environment, then Machines. Select myMachine, then Node Manager.
3. In the Remote Console, in the Monitoring Tree, go to Environment, then Servers.
4. In the Servers table, select the checkbox next to your Managed Server.
5. Click Start.

   A message appears confirming that Node Manager will start the selected server instance. Refresh the WebLogic Remote Console page, and the Managed Server state changes from SHUTDOWN to RUNNING.

   Your Managed Server is now running in your domain.
