Naming Multicast IP address In Weblogic
All of us know that there will be many environments available for each application and it becomes a headache to maintain Multicast IP address when all the applications are running in cluster.
For example, if we have a domain running with 10 clusters and have it on 5 environments then it becomes a tough job to name multicast address for all environments. Below naming conventions can be followed to avoid such overheads.
Organizing Multicast address to facilitate new environments. Considering an example that you have 8 environment for test.com application, then you can have multicast to standard of 233....
Environment will be as follows:
env1 = 1, env2 =2, env3=3, etc
dev1 = 11, dev2 = 12, dev3 = 13, etc
Prod = 21, ha -22
For first cluster in the domain cluster# can be 1, for second 2 and so on.
End state: manageable, easy to determine multicast for WebLogic clusters.
