Step 13: Foglight ports configuration

Step 13: Foglight ports configuration
1
Configure the server ports. The Foglight Ports Configuration screen displays default ports that you can assign.
 
* 
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.
2
If you are installing Foglight in High Availability (HA) mode and are planning to have multiple HA partitions on the same sub-network, configure a different Cluster Multi-cast Port for each HA partition. The primary server and secondary servers within each HA partition must be configured to use the same Cluster Multi-cast Port.
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.
3
If you want to revert to the default values, click Defaults.
4
Click Next.
 
* 
NOTE: If there are any port assignment conflicts, an error message dialog box appears. Click Review Ports, if you want to return to the Foglight Ports Configuration screen to configure the conflicting port(s), or click Ignore and Continue to continue with the installation without resolving the port conflicts. Select one of these options to continue.
