Troubleshooting clustering

This topic provides additional troubleshooting tips for testing cache clustering.
  • On Linux and Unix environments, you can use netstat -ln to check that the correct ports have been opened by the SkyVault server on the correct network adapters. You can use telnet <hostname><port> to check if each open port can be reached by each cluster member.
  • If your cluster members are using NAT and IPv4 addresses, you may find it necessary to force the server to listen on IP V4 addresses rather than IP V6. To do this, add:
    -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true 
    to the startup options of SkyVault’s JVM. In a standard Linux/Unix installation, this would require editing of the JAVA_OPTS variable in the script, as follow:
    tomcat/scripts/ctl.sh
    On a standard Windows installation, this would require adding the parameter just before ;-Dalfresco.home in:
    tomcat/bin/service.bat
    and then running the scripts:
    tomcat/scripts/serviceinstall.bat REMOVE
    tomcat/scripts/serviceinstall.bat INSTALL 

    to re-register the SkyVault service with the new option.
