3.3 Running JBoss in a cluster

Start the JBoss

Start the JBoss Application server by entering the following command.

./run.sh -g <partition_name> -b <ipaddress> -c <server_profile>

This command will use default multicast port and address.

Changing the Multicast address

To change the Muticast address enter the following command:

/run.sh -u <UDP group Ip address> -g <partition_name> -b <ipaddress> -c <server_profile>

Changing the MultiCast port

To change the Multicast port provide the following jvm argument:

-Djboss.jgroups.udp.mcast_port=<port_number>

Note: By default, JBoss cluster is configured to use UDP based clustering. You can configure cluster to use TCP based clustering. Refer JBoss Clustering, for detailed information about configuring cluster to use TCP based clustering.
