I ran across this today. It took me a long time to find the right solution, so I thought I would post it here.

The error message I was getting was:

Failed to invoke operation load on MBean oracle.as.management.
mbeans.register:type=component,name=ohs1,instance=asinst_1,
Location=AdminServer
Load failed with IOException

The logs further showed the following:

OHS-2079 nzos handshake error, nzos_Handshake returned 
28860(server obscured.server.com:9999, client 111.127.66.159)
OHS-2171 NZ Library Error: SSL fatal alert

The fix I found towards the end of a thread at https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1054032:

ORACLE_HOMEopmnbinupgradenonj2eeapp.bat
-oracleInstance Instance_Home_Location
-adminHost WebLogic_Server_Host_Name
-adminPort administration_server_port_number
-adminUsername administration_server_user

Change it to .sh for Linux/Unix. I found I only had to run this on the first server in the farm rather than all of them as one might expect. Your mileage may vary.

I ran into an issue where I couldn’t figure out why I was getting the following error when running a WebLogic Server 10.3.2 upgrade in silent mode pert the documentation:

I thought I had followed the example from http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/e13754/xml_ref.htm#g1066162 perfectly:

But, as it turns out, where I wanted to be literal on the  SelectWebLogicVersionPlugIn value with 10.2, the correct format is to be a bit broader, with:

    <plugin name="SelectWebLogicVersionPlugIn">
      <input-adapter name="ChoiceIA">
        <bind-property name="selectedChoiceIds">
          <value>9.0 or higher</value>
        </bind-property>
      </input-adapter>
    </plugin>

Note the value 9.0 or higher

I hope this saves some folks the time I spent figuring it out 🙂
