Creating servers in coexistence or multiple instance environments

Why and when to perform this task

WebSphere Application Server lets you create multiple servers based on an existing template, or using an existing server as a template. You can generate unique ports for the new server during its creation. Always select the unique port option when creating servers in a coexistence environment of multiple versions, installations or configuration instances, due to the likelihood of conflicting port assignments. Verify port assignments for the newly created server and change them if necessary.

Steps for this task

  1. Create a server (MyServer, for example) using either the administrative console or wsadmin scripts.

  2. Log on to the administrative console.
  3. Go to Servers > Application Servers > MyServer > End Points.
  4. Go into each end point and change the port numbers.
  5. Change the HTTP Transport ports.
    1. Go to Servers > application servers > MyServer > Web Container > HTTP Transports.
    2. Change the HTTP transport port numbers.
    3. Make a record of the new port numbers.

  6. Change the JMS server ports, if you create servers from an application server template that has the embedded messaging feature.
    1. Go to Servers > application servers > MyServer > Server Components > JMS Servers > Security Port Endpoint.
    2. Change the port numbers.

  7. Change the JMS server ports, if you create servers from an application server template that is not federated into a deployment manager cell, but does have the embedded messaging feature.
    1. Go to Servers > application servers > MyServer > Server Components > JMS Servers > Security Port Endpoint.
    2. Change the port numbers.
