Configuring ports for a partition
IBM Traveler supports running on multiple Domino® partition servers on the same physical machine. The server must be configured to avoid port conflicts among the partition instances.
About this task
When you set up a Domino® partitioned server, it is best to assign a separate IP address to each partition. You should also use a separate NIC for each partition. Using a separate NIC for each address can make the I/O much faster. And since each partition uses a separate address, port conflicts are avoided. For information about setting up Domino® to bind to separate IP addresses, see the topic "Partitioned servers and IP addresses" in the latest version of the Domino® Administrator documentation.
If you are not going to use a separate IP address for each Domino® partition, then use port mapping and configure your IBM Traveler partitions to use unique port numbers for its services.
NTS_HOST_IP_ADDRESS=ip_address
in the
notes.ini
file for each partition so that the partitioned IBM Traveler servers can
correctly communicate with each other in the HA environment.Use the following steps to configure unique port numbers:
Procedure
- For each Domino® partition, open the Domino® Administrator client and connect to the Domino® server.
- Click .
- Click Edit Server.
- Click TCP/IP port number field.
, and enter
a port number in the Note: The port value must be unique. For example, if you have two partitions, use 80 and 81.
- Click the IBM Traveler tab, and
enter port numbers in the IPC Socket Port field.
Note: These two values must be unique. For example, if you have two partitions use 50125, 50126 on the first partition, and 50127, 50128 on the second partition.
- Click Save and Close.
-
Restart IBM Traveler and the HTTP server.
Note: The client also requires configuration changes if the ports are changed from the default values for users that connect to the particular Domino® partition.
