Checking Dispatcher port numbers
If you are experiencing problems running Dispatcher, it may be that one of your applications is using a port number that the Dispatcher normally uses.
Be aware that the Dispatcher server uses the following port numbers:
- 10099 to receive commands from dscontrol
- 10004 to send metric queries to Metric Server
If another application is using one of the Dispatcher port numbers, you can either change the Dispatcher port numbers or change the application port number.
Change the Dispatcher port numbers, as follows:
- Change the port that receives the commands by modifying the LB_RMIPORT variable at the top of the dsserver file to the port that you want Dispatcher 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 Dispatcher 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 dsserver in the <install_root>Edge/ULB/servers/bin directory.
