Whenever I restart my websphere application server by default it starts all the applications deployed. How can I make only particular applications will get start in the start up?

Hi I want to include cluster option in IBM 8.5 where it is installed on Linux how to add this package through the terminal where in my server menu I have only server types
Your question is not clear enough, but here are my assumptions:
you are using WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.x
you want to have cluster options in the Web Administrative console (accessed via /ibm/console)
You currently have standalone single server profile, this profile doesnt have cluster management capabilities. You have to create different profile - deployment manager - either via graphical UI - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/was-nd/8.5.5?topic=mpugui-creating-management-profiles-deployment-managers or via manageprofiles.sh commandline tool - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/was-nd/8.5.5?topic=mpnzos-manageprofiles-command-1
To create cluster you will need at least one additional profile (appserver or custom) and federate it to the deployment manager.
Here are various installation secenarios (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/was-nd/8.5.5?topic=installation-planning-install-websphere-application-server)
The simplest clustering scenario would be Scenario 7: Single-machine installation of a cell of application servers and a web server
I am developing applications running on the Liberty Profile
(WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.7/wlp-1.0.10.cl50720150827-0437) on Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, version 1.7.0_71-b14 (en_GB)
I have had to increase the Server Startup Timeout value within eclipse to 300s.
Once I have completed my developmemt and want to deploy to a "stand alone" Liberty Server, e.g. Outside of Eclipse. How do I configure this Server Startup timeout?
We do have a new configuration option for how long the server will wait for the applications to start. If your application takes a few minutes to start the server will no go up until all your applications are ready.
You can read about this here:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PI51375
This configuration option can be used with:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PI49508
That last one will close any connection that comes while the server is starting.
You could use both this configuration options to hold up the server start based on your application start up time. For shutdown there is nothing I can recommend.
Other than that, as #Alasdair has answered we do not have any start or shutdown timeout in the Liberty Server.
Another thing you can do for delaying the startup is creating a shell script or similar to sleep for x amount of time before starting the application server.
Can we create multiple servers in the websphere application server profile
Usually the default is server1 gets created , when you create the stand alone instance.
Yes, you can via wsadmin scripting, check details here:
Creating a server using scripting
however by default to configure and install app on that server you will need to use console installed on server1 or scripting, so it is a bit troublesome. That server will also share some configuration settings with server1 e.g. security settings.
If you want more isolation it is usually easier to just create another Application Server profile, from the same WebSphere installation (using Profile Management Tool, or manageprofiles script).
In our project we have installed both the “WebSphere application server” and “WebSphere Process Server” in a single machine. But we are unable to run both the server at a same time.
WebSphere Process Server is mounted on top of WebSphere Application Server, so while we are running the process server the default WebSphere application server instance is starting with the process server. So after that if we try to start the separately installed WebSphere application server, we are getting error that one instance is already running. Please suggest how to avoid this conflict and run both the process and application server in the single machine?
Both are using the same port. We already renamed the server name of the separately installed WebSphere application server with “server2” and Process Server’s application server name is “server1”
Please share your suggestions
You need to create separate profile. You don't have to install WAS first, or install it again, if you don't want. You may use Profile Management Tool from your installation to create new separate profile for WAS (choose Application Server profile type, not Process Server).
If you want complete separation e.g different versions (like vX of WPS and vY of WAS), or different fix pack level, you will need to do full separate WAS install.
Websphere Process Server extends Websphere Application Server (WAS), so you should install WAS first. Websphere Process Server (WPS) install should be made on top. When installation is complete you will be able to create WAS and WPS profiles on this machine. WPS profile always include WAS libraries and can be managed exactly the same way as WAS.
If you want separate servers, you should create two profiles, one for WAS and one for WPS.
You will be able to manage them separately.
I am new to WebSphere application server. I need to make minor changes on the server.
I don't know how to launch the Admin console.
Assuming that the default ports are used you can access the console from http://localhost:9060/ibm/console
