webMethods Knowlegebase : "java.net.BindException: Address already in use" on port predefined in tc-config.xml when passive is becoming active (1788609)

Troubleshooting


Problem

Both active and passive node were running, and active left the cluster. "java.net.BindException: Address already in use" occurred while the passive node was becoming active.

------------

INFO com.tc.l2.state.StateManagerImpl - Becoming State[ ACTIVE-COORDINATOR ]

WARN com.tc.net.core.TCConnectionManager - Unable to bind socket on address /0.0.0.0, port 9610, Address already in use

ERROR com.tc.server.TCServerMain - Thread:Thread[WorkerThread l2_state_change_stage, 0),5,TC Thread Group] got an uncaught exception. calling CallbackOnExitDefaultHandlers.

java.lang.AssertionError: java.net.BindException: Address already in use

------------

However, the port (e.g. 9610) in "Already in use" is predefined in tc-config.xml.

<server host="host1" name="host1_9510" bind="0.0.0.0">

<tsa-port>9510</tsa-port>

<jmx-port>9520</jmx-port>

</server>

<server host="host2" name="host2_9610" bind="0.0.0.0">

<tsa-port>9610</tsa-port>

<jmx-port>9620</jmx-port>

</server>

Does it mean passive node is trying to bind the port used by itself?
