How to Configure Lotus Domino Partitioned Servers Using Unique TCP Port Numbers

After installing partitioned server binaries on either the local disk of each node or on the shared disk, and the data directories on the shared disks, use the following procedure to configure unique TCP port numbers for the partitioned servers.

1. Select one of the partitioned servers to be the port mapper server.

   ---

   Note -

   Clients can access the partitioned servers only at a standard port (1352), which is assigned to the port mapper server. The port mapper server processes requests to the other partitioned servers. The port mapper server must be running in order to route requests to the other partitioned servers. Therefore, if the port mapper server is down, new sessions cannot connect. Existing sessions, however, remain connected.

2. For all partitioned servers other than the port mapper server, assign a unique TCP port number by editing the notes.ini files on those partitioned servers.

   In the notes.ini file on each partitioned server that is not a port mapper server, include one line to define the IP address and port number for that partitioned server. In this example, IPaddress is the shared IP address and port_number is the unique port number of the partitioned server.

   ... TCPIP_TcpIpAddress=0,IPaddress:port_number ...

3. Edit the notes.ini file of the port mapper server to include the appropriate TCP settings.

   The notes.ini file on the port mapper server must include an entry for itself, in which the port_number is defined as the standard server port, 1352. Additionally, the file must include entries for all other partitioned servers, in which the port_number fields are defined as unique port numbers.

   In this example, 1352 is the port number of the current port mapper server, servername is the name of each subsequent partitioned server, org is the organization name, IPaddress is the shared IP address, and port_number is the unique port number assigned to each partitioned server.

   The IPaddress should be identical for all entries, but the port_number must be unique for each entry.

   ... TCPIP_TcpIpAddress=0,IPaddress:1352 TCPIP_PortMapping00=CN=servername0/O=org.IPaddress:portnumber1 TCPIP_PortMapping01=CN=servername1/O=org.IPaddress:portnumber2 TCPIP_PortMapping02=CN=servername2/O=org.IPaddress:portnumber3 TCPIP_PortMapping03=CN=servername3/O=org.IPaddress:portnumber4 ...
