1) The config information is cached on the managed servers.
2) We explode it to get access to the .jar files inside.

Weblogic has an option to enable MSI(Managed server independence). By
enabling this feature on your managed server b & c, admin server will push
config.xml, fileRelam.properties, SerializedSystemIni.dat etc., to all the
managed server. Make sure you enable this functionality on only instance per
sun server.

When the admin server goes it should not affect the fuctionality of running
MS, since as described before all the information are cached. You cannot
modify any configuration at this point of time. Due to MSI enabled you
should be able to restart the managed server.

Thanks, Aravind.

I do not want to enable independence mode due to security reasons.Please check

Any other way?

Hi Lara,

There is patch available for this for 7.0 and this is fixed in sp2 and higher.

If you are in the lower version just go to ".internal" folder in the managed server
boxes and delete the console.war (after everytime you restart your mgd severs).

I know this is dirty. but this is a work around
