Parameter: groupmcastaddress

Startup parameters change the behavior of the HPE Service Manager server. You can always set a startup parameter from the server's operating system command prompt.

Parameter

groupmcastaddress

Description

This parameter defines the TCP/IP address that servlet container processes can use to communicate with the load balancer process in a horizontal scaling implementation. The servlet container processes talk to one another using User Datagram Protocol (UDP) multicasting and must use a TCP/IP address consistent with that protocol. You must enable UDP multicasting traffic on your network to use HPE Service Manager virtual grouping.

It is best practice to place this parameter in the HPE Service Manager initialization file so that all servlet container processes started on the same host share the TCP/IP address specified by this parameter.

Valid if set from

Server's operating system command prompt

Initialization file (sm.ini)

Requires restart of the Service Manager server?

Yes

Default value

None

Possible values

Any TCP/IP address valid for UDP multicasting (addresses 224.0.1.0 to 239.255.255.255, inclusive.)

Example usage

Initialization file:

groupname:mygroup1
groupmcastaddress:224.0.1.255
groupport:13100
