Node Manager not reachable for machine "Local Machine", please ensure node manager service is running and port 5556

 While running Installer for Oracle AIA on local machine I faced following error

"Node Manager not reachable for machine "Local Machine", please ensure node manager service is running and port 5556". Because I forget to start Node manager ....

Solution

To start the nodemanager, you need to browse to MiddlewareHOME\wlserver_10.3\server\bin and execute "startNodeManager.cmd".

"nodemanager.properties" will get created under "MiddlewareHOME\wlserver_10.3\common\nodemanager\" once you start the nodemanager as shown in following GUI dump

You can also check the status of nodemanager from weblogic console.

1. Login to weblogic console.
2. Browse to Environment -> Machines in the Domain Structure panel (located left side)
3. Click on "LocalMachine".
4. Click on "Monitoring" tab to know the status of nodemanager.
