Defining a static "Dr Admin" port for the Administrative Server, Application Servers, and clones
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
Steps to assign a static "Dr Admin" port for the Administrative Server, Application Servers, and clones on all releases of WebSphere® Application Server V4.0.
 
Solution
By default, the WebSphere Application Server Dr Admin port is assigned randomly to the Administrative Server, Application Servers and clones at startup.

Determining what ports are being used by Dr Admin
  1. Administrative Server

    Each Administrative Server in your node will have a port to Dr Admin.

    $WAS_HOME\logs\tracefile
    DrAdminServer I WSVR0053I: DrAdmin available on port 3752

  2. Application Servers and clones

    $WAS_HOME\logs\stdout
    DrAdminServer I WSVR0053I: DrAdmin available on port 3514


Assigning a static Dr Admin port to the Administrative Server
  1. Edit $WAS_HOME/bin/admin.config file to reflect following:

    # Administrative Server DrAdmin port
    com.ibm.ejs.sm.adminServer.diagThreadPort=port#

    where port# is the port you are defining.

    Example:
    # Node 1 Administrative Server DrAdmin static port
    com.ibm.ejs.sm.adminServer.diagThreadPort=6789

  2. Exit and Save.

  3. Recycle the node for the port assignment to take effect.

Assigning a static Dr Admin port to the Application Servers and clones

For V4.0.3 and V4.0.4 only, you must install PQ63146 for this option to work.
  1. Open the Administrative Console and edit the following setting for the Application Server or clone for which you are configuring a static Dr Admin port.

  2. Select the Application Server or clone.

  3. Select JVM Settings tab on the right side panel.

  4. Click Add in the System Properties section, then type the following:

    Name:diagThreadPort (this is case sensitive)
    Value: port# (where port# is the port you are defining)

  5. Click Apply.

  6. Confirm that this setting has been added, go to the Generated Command Line Arguments. It should now show:

    -DdiagThreadPort=<port#>

  7. Recycle the Application Server for the port assignment to take effect.
