NOTE: In certain configurations, the Management Server uses other ports than the ones that you can set on this screen; for example, when Foglight is running in High Availability (HA) mode. See the Administration and Configuration Help for details. |
You can set this port from the Foglight Ports Configuration screen, or change it after installation in the server.config file. See Configuring the cluster multicast port used in High Availability mode for information about changing this port after installing Foglight.
|
IMPORTANT: Errors can occur if servers that are not part of the same HA partition are configured to multicast on the same port on the same sub-network as the HA partition. See Running the Management Server FAQ for more information about these errors. |
