Checking Site Selector port numbers
If you are experiencing problems running the Site Selector component, it may be that one of your applications is using a port number that Site Selector normally uses.
Be aware that Site Selector uses the following port numbers:
- 12099 to receive commands from sscontrol
- 10004 to send metric queries to Metric Server
If another application is using one of the Site Selector port numbers, you can either change the Site Selector port numbers or change the application port number.
Change the Site Selector port numbers, as follows:
- Change the port that receives the commands by modifying the LB_RMIPORT variable at the top of the ssserver file to the port that you want Site Selector to receive commands.
- Change the port that receives the metric reports from the Metric Server by modifying the RMI_PORT variable in the metric server file to the port that you want Site Selector to communicate with Metric Server. Provide the metric_port argument when the manager starts. Read the description of the manager start command syntax for more information.
Note: You can find ssserver in the <install_root>Edge/ULB/ss/servers/bin directory.
