Weblogic Managed Servers Restart On Own

Question

We are running WebLogic 8.1.6.0 and when we attempt to shutdown all managed servers in a cluster some of the managed servers shutdown and start back up prior to us interacting with them. In order to stop all of the managed servers we have to manual force shutdown each server that “restarts” it’s self and often the manually process must be preformed several times. Has anyone else experienced this issue or similar issues with controlling managed servers in a Weblogic cluster?

Answer 1

Have you configured the servers to use NodeManager in WL 8.1?

By default, Node Manager automatically restarts Managed Servers that crash, and Managed Servers that Node Manager killed because their health state was "failed".
