How do I configure Hot Standby Gateways with different ports on different servers

March 23, 2021 07:02
Updated

Ensure that the Listen Port setting in the Operating Environment section is not enabled.
Ensure that the Gateway is started with the -port flag.

Steps as follows:

Install the Primary Gateway

Modify the Primary Gateway's start script to include the -port flag. For example:

# Execute the binary
cd tickets/${GW_DIR}
./gateway2.linux -setup ${SETUP_DIR} -resources-dir ${GW_RES} -licd-host ${LICD_HOST} -licd-port ${LICD_PORT} -log ${GW_LOG} -port 10702 &

Start the Primary Gateway process
Access the Primary gateway's configuration via the GSE
Go to the Hot Standby section
Fill up the section. For example:
Go to the Operating Environment section
Disable the Listen Port setting. For example:
- The Listen Port setting is grayed-out when disabled.
Save the configuration
Transfer the Primary Gateway's setup file (e.g. gateway.setup.xml) to the Secondary Gateway's server
Install the Secondary Gateway

Modify the Secondary Gateway's start script to

use the Primary Gateway's setup file

include the -port flag. For example:

# Execute the binary
cd tickets/${GW_DIR}
./gateway2.linux -setup ${SETUP_DIR} -resources-dir ${GW_RES} -licd-host ${LICD_HOST} -licd-port ${LICD_PORT} -log ${GW_LOG} -port 10703 &

Start the Secondary Gateway process

Also don't forget to add the secondary hostname and port number to the primary connection in the Active Console Settings.
