Viewing or Setting Restart Order of Servers

During the patching process, servers are patched and restarted in a defined order. The initial restart order you see when viewing servers is a WebLogic domain setting. You can change the restart order; however, the administration server should always be set to zero (0).

Important

Using the Console

  1. Open the navigation menu and click Observability & Management. Under WebLogic Management, click Domains.
  2. Under List scope, select the compartment that contains the domains.
  3. (Optional) Under Filters, select one or more of the following options to refine the list of domains:
    • State: Lists only the domains in the specified state.
    • Version: Lists only the domains with the specified middleware version.
    • Type: Lists only the domains with the specified middleware.
    • Patch readiness status: Lists only the domains with the specified readiness status.
  4. Under Name, click a domain.
  5. In the Servers section, review the restart order of the servers.
  6. To make any changes, check one or more servers and then click Set restart order.
    Important

    Do not change the restart order of the administration server as it should always be set to zero (0).
  7. Enter a new restart order number for the selected servers and then click Save changes.
