ScavangerDelaySeconds

1>

Starting the managed servers via Weblogic Administration console using a node manager, we see the following error in the managed server log file.

The request to start the server xxx of domain xxx failed because the node manager did not hear from the managed server in the configured timeout period. Despite this, if the managed server has not failed, it will come up and the node manager will start monitoring it. To adjust this timeout so that the task does not fail prematurely, please refer to the node manager property ScavangerDelaySeconds (Default value : 180 seconds. Current value : 180 seconds).]
This issue was encounter for Weblogic 8.1 version.

Usually changing the ScavangerDelaySeconds value in the node manager properties file does not help.

I set the

NativeVersionEnabled=true

in the node manager properties file to make it work.

A value of true causes native libraries for the operating system to be used.

We were using HP-UX and somehow it was set to false. Changing it to true helped.
