1).  How to add new remote managed server to Cluster?

I have a WebLogic Cluster including 2 managed Server and a Admin Server. There are some web applications running on the cluster, all applications deploy to 2 nodes. Now I want to add a new managed Server to the cluster. If I do that, will all applications be automaticly deployed to the new managed server? If not, what can I do to deploy all the applications to the new managed server?

Sol:

Is your applications deployed to Cluster?
If yes it will automatically deploy to new managed servers added to cluster when it comes to running mode.

2). How to create a deployment plan for an existing application?

Sol:

when you make a persisted configuration change to a deployed application that does not have an existing deployment plan, the console automatically creates a deployment plan for you in the plan subdirectory.

If you have an existing deployment plan for an application, simply prepare the application and place the deployment plan in the plan subdirectory of the application root directory. Then install the application. The Administration Console automatically uses a deployment plan named plan.xml in the \plan subdirectory.

Once you have deployment plan "registered" you can use Update button to set a diferent location of your plan.

3). JNDI data source references at deployment time

Sol: 

You can configure in web.xml. To link to this resource to a jndi name, you need to configure in weblogic.xml

4). Not able to start server using wlst in windows

i am trying to start the weblogic 10.3 server thru wlst using the command
startServer('AdminServer_name','Domain_Name',"............
first it used to give an error saying that it is not able get the encrypted username and password from the boot.properties file.
then i tried copy pasting the username and passwd in the same command and it gives me a error saying

wlst could not start a new jvm for the server process, this might happen if you have provided illegal jvmArgs or the JVM picked up any illegal JVM_OPTIONS from your path.

if i mention the JVM parameters same as obtained from the help('startServer') command parameters. it says

Traceback (innermost last):
File "(console)", line 1, in?
File "(iostream)", line 398 , in startServer
TypeError: startSvr(): 10th arg cant be coerced to int.

i am desperately trying to get through this error
