[ERROR]adding another JVM to OC4J instance

Question

Hi gurus,
I had this following configuration on my opmn.xml,
<restart timeout="720" retry="2"/>
<port id="default-web-site" range="8890" protocol="http"/>
<port id="rmi" range="12401-12500"/>
<port id="rmis" range="12701-12800"/>
<port id="jms" range="12601-12700"/>
<process-set id="solusiAS2_group" numprocs="1"/>
</process-type>
and then i modified the numprocs, so that i can run multiple JVM.
<restart timeout="720" retry="2"/>
<port id="default-web-site" range="8890" protocol="http"/>
<port id="rmi" range="12401-12500"/>
<port id="rmis" range="12701-12800"/>
<port id="jms" range="12601-12700"/>
<process-set id="solusiAS2_group" numprocs="2"/>
</process-type>
but when i start the opmnctl gave me these following error,
[root@deployment ~]# /u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/opmn/bin/opmnctl startall
opmnctl: starting opmn and all managed processes...

could you help me what's is wrong ? from i read on internet, only OAS 10.1.3.0 that doesn't support running multiple JVM. mine version is 10.1.3.1 patchset 10.1.3.3.
Many THanks,
Andes

Answer 1

As reported in the error message, there is a port conflict. It isn't able to allocate a free port (from the defined ranges) to this new JVM. You show having this:
<port id="default-web-site" range="8890" protocol="http"/>
It is good for one JVM but now that you will have two, this range needs to be expended. Try something like this:
<port id="default-web-site" range="8890-8899" protocol="http"/>
And try to start it again.
Hope this will resolve the problem.
Thanks
