Parameter: groupport

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

groupport

Description

This parameter defines the communications port 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 common communications port available on all member systems of the virtual group. 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 communications port specified by this parameter.
