We want to run multiple V8 Deployment managers on the same Windows Servers. We have multiple IP address setup with DNS entries for each and used the DNS name for the Host name during the creation of the DM Profile for each.

Each DM has its own core install on a separate partitions and the ID that will be used to start the services only has access to its partition but not the other DM partition.

When we start the first server up we notice that the SOAP port is running on the servers DNS name not the DM DNS name we used during the configuration. This is also true for several other ports but not for the WC_adminhost_secure, WC_adminhost_secure, DCS_Unicast_Address, and IPC_Connector_address ports

As you already know when we start up the second DM we get a port conflict for all the ports with the exception of WC_adminhost_secure, WC_adminhost_secure, DCS_Unicast_Address, and IPC_Connector_address ports

We have gone into each DM > System administration > Deployment Manager > Ports changed all the * host names to the DNS name. We have also verified that he DNS name resolves to the correct IP address.

Has anyone ever done this and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Something I forgot is that the other administrator that I’m working with does not want to change the ports in each DM which would fix the problem. He is sure that this can be done and has done it in the past without changing the ports.

Hi Tony,

  I'm not windows specialist, I have done similar configuration in AIX (diferent device in the same host, sure that in linux is the same) and  in z/OS (more than one IP stacks in the same LPAR).

  I can't imagine how to start the same port in the same machine with the same adapterin windows, but maybe is posible. I have done changing ports.

 Chek reverse DNS, that is IP -> DNS and DNS-> IP WAS check this in SOAP and RMI and is important that resolve the same.

  tell us your progress please, i want to know if this is posible.

Hi tony,

  Ok, that is what I'm saying:

  "This example creates two nodes, each using a separate network interface, on a machine that has at least two network interfaces:"

  And following tha article the problem persist?

  if you launch the next command:

  netstat -nao|findstr

  You need to get and output of each IP bound to port in LISTEN state and PID of the server/nodeAgent.  In each case diferent because there are diferent IP/network interfaces.


  Do you check reverse DNS? do you have check hosts file?

regards,

Hi Gabriel

A combination of the article and working with the DNS team we have solved the problem.

Great Tony!!!!
