Default coexistence settings for port numbers
This topic provides reference information for identifying port
numbers in WebSphere Application Server, Version 5.x in coexistence mode.
You must verify that you are using ports that do not conflict with other
products and programs running on your node. These ports are the default coexistence
ports. You can display the default coexistence ports when the installation
wizard detects a previous installation of Application Sever and displays the
check box for selecting coexistence ports. Select the check box to show the
ports. Change the ports to avoid conflicts.
You can also force the installation wizard to display the coexistence ports
by using the following parameter on the installation command. The example
shows the installation command for Linux and UNIX-based systems. You can find
the commands for supported operating systems in Installing the product.
You can also force the appearance of the coexistence
panel to change conflicting port number assignments. For example, the AIX
WebSM system management server listens on port 9090 by default. To avoid a
conflict with the administrative console port (HTTP_TRANSPORT_ADMIN) assignment,
which is also 9090 by default, force the coexistence panel to appear using
this command:
./install -W coexistenceOptionsBean.showCoexistence="true"
![[5.0 only]](../../v50.gif)
![[Version 5.0.1]](../../v501.gif)
Default port numbers for coexistence
for Version V5.0.x
After installing a product with the port numbers that you select on the
coexistence panel (or in the response file for a silent installation), you
can use the administrative console to configure port numbers and resolve conflicting
ports.
Default port settings for coexistence for V5.1
Detailed definitions of coexistence
ports
Use the tables as a reference for finding information about
the ports that appear on the coexistence panel of the installation wizard.

- You can use the connector type and port number parameters of certain commands
to identify the bootstrap port number that you specify for the remote method
invocation (RMI) connector address in a coexistence scenario. For example,
to use the wsadmin command in a coexistence environment, you can specify
either of the following commands:
wsadmin.bat/sh -conntype RMI -port portNumber
wsadmin.bat/sh -conntype SOAP -port portNumber
Alternatively,
you can update the wsadmin.properties file located in the install_root/properties directory
to contain the new port values. If you update this file, you do not need to
specify the port parameter when using the wsadmin tool. The SOAP connection
type uses the SOAP connector address port number described next. If
you edit the serverindex.xml file, verify that the host name is the
valid host name for the machine and not the generic localhost identifier. |

Setting the object request broker (ORB) listener port to a value of
0 or greater causes all object references in the name space to specify their
connection to the server and not depend on the location service daemon (LSD)
to redirect connections to the server. An ORB_LISTENER_ADDRESS value equal
to 0 starts the server on any available port and does not use the LSD. A value
greater than 0 starts the server on the specified port and does not use the
LSD. |

Set the ORB listener port after
a silent installation of the Network Deployment product as described in Configuring inbound transports.
