Database Administration Installation Guide
Setting up and Starting a Second Server Instance
Another user can run a second instance of the Database Administration
server on a system if the instance uses a different port number, and
specifies a different local jobs directory. By creating multiple instances
through unique port assignments, you can start
patroldb as a different
user, when necessary.
Note
(Informix only) You must run patroldb as user informix in order to access
some Informix database objects. If you run the product on an additional
RDBMS (such as Oracle), you need to use a different user name and
specify a new BMC_PORT value and BMC_LOCAL directory.
The following steps describe how to set up multiple server instances:
Step 1 Set the BMC_PORT value by using the export command.
For example, if you are already using port 1313 (the default), you may
want to set up an additional port 1413:
export BMC_PORT=1413
Note
Before setting a port value for use with multiple instances, you can
determine which ports are in use. Enter the following command to obtain
a list of all ports which are currently in use:
netstat -an | grep LISTEN
Step 2 Start the server by entering the following command:
$BMC_HOME/patroldb start
Step 3 After you have installed the client, create a client host configuration with
a new port (service) number that reflects the BMC_PORT value.
