weblogic 12c startNodeManager.sh

Are you getting the following when trying to start nodemanager?

[root@vltweb01 ~]# <Mar 8, 2016 10:12:41 PM EST> <INFO> <Loading identity key store: FileName=/u01/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home/oracle_common/common/nodemanager/security/DemoIdentity.jks, Type=jks, PassPhraseUsed=true>

Then, like me – you are starting the wrong nodemanager.  This is the 11G one, 12c uses the node manager in user projects.

A simple search shows:

[oracle@vltweb01 Oracle_Home]$ find . -name startNodeManager.sh
./inventory/Templates/wlserver/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh
./user_projects/domains/e1_apps/bin/startNodeManager.sh
./wlserver/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh

Don’t use the bottom one, use this one ./user_projects/domains/e1_apps/bin/startNodeManager.sh

Phew, that’s better.
