Global Condition Server

In some cases, after setting a virtual host name online, the physical host name of the cluster node becomes unavailable. In such case, additional configuration is required for the GCS. This configuration should only be used if the GCS failed to start after a failover.

To add a HostPort system parameter for the GCS:

  1. Start the Control-M Configuration Manager and change the desired state of the GCS to DOWN.
  2. Ensure that the GCS is not running on any of the cluster nodes (ps -ef | grep gcs).
  3. In the Control-M Configuration Manager, choose Tools => System Parameters.
  4. In the general section, select the HostPort parameter and click New to open the "Add New Parameter" dialog box.
  5. In the "Add New Parameter" dialog box, click Advanced.
  6. Modify the following field values:

    Field

    Value

    Type

    General (the default value)

    Name

    HostPort (the default value)

    Value

    vhemxxx:55443, which is specified in the format:

    virtualHostName:port

    Do not specify 0 as the port number.

    Advanced field: Type

    GCS

    Advanced field: Name

    * (the default value)

    Advanced field: Host

    * (the default value)

  7. Click Save.
