How to create Mutiple server instances?

Question

          Hai,
          Can someone advice me on how do I create mutiple server instances , on the
          same machine , with same IP but different ports. I need to do this without clustering.
          I would very much appreciate the help.
          Thanks and Regards,

Answer 1

Hi
          If it for clustering then the solution is simple.
          WLS clearly states that in a cluster all the servers should be listening on
          the same port.
          Noe back to the question how do you achieve clustering on a single
          machine.Answer is -> multihome it.
          I run my WIN 2k m/c with three static ip's and I have cluster of 3 servers
          runing on my machine.
          We can acheive the same on solaris too.
          I hope this helps.
          Regards
