IBM BPM Advanced - "The socket name is already in use" and "UNABLE_TO_CREATE_SSL_SERVER_SOCKET"

Context

This relates to a two cell, two node, multi-cluster IBM BPM Advanced 8.5.0.1 environment, installed and running on AIX.

We have four WAS profiles; two Deployment Manager, two Application Server, each with its own unique profile root.

This provides a pair of completely isolated Process Server environments.

This is the first time both cells ( aka Deployment Environments ) have been running at the same time, hence the first time this problem evidenced itself.

Symptoms

The SupCluster on 2nd node fails to properly start, with the following in SystemOut.log: -

The relevant details are: -

The socket name is already in use

received while attempting to open server socket on port 9443

CAUGHT_EXCEPTION_WHILE_CONFIGURING_SSL_SERVER_SOCKET

UNABLE_TO_CREATE_SSL_SERVER_SOCKET

In this context, port 9443 == CSIV2_SSL_SERVERAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS

Investigation

We need to find out what other WAS service is blocking this port: -

Investigation shows that 9443 is being used by: -

(a) WC_defaulthost_secure

and: -

(b) CSIV2_SSL_SERVERAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS

We need to move latter to different, unique port - ended up with 9943

Iterate through to find a unique port - trial and error resulting in: -

cat /opt/ibm/WebSphereProfiles/PSCell1Dmgr01/config/cells/PSCell1/nodes/AppSrv01Node/serverindex.xml | grep 9943

cat /opt/ibm/WebSphereProfiles/PSCell1Dmgr01/config/cells/PSCell1/nodes/AppSrv02Node/serverindex.xml | grep 9943

cat /opt/ibm/WebSphereProfiles/PSCell2Dmgr01/config/cells/PSCell2/nodes/AppSrv01Node/serverindex.xml | grep 9943

cat /opt/ibm/WebSphereProfiles/PSCell2Dmgr01/config/cells/PSCell2/nodes/AppSrv02Node/serverindex.xml | grep 9943

cat /opt/ibm/WebSphereProfiles/PSCell1Dmgr01/config/cells/PSCell1/nodes/dmgr/serverindex.xml | grep 9943

cat /opt/ibm/WebSphereProfiles/PSCell2Dmgr01/config/cells/PSCell2/nodes/dmgr/serverindex.xml | grep 9943

This should/does return NO matches, indicating uniqueness

Validation

cd /opt/ibm/WebSphereProfiles/PSCell1Dmgr01/config/cells/PSCell1
cat `find . -name serverindex.xml` | grep 9943

cd /opt/ibm/WebSphereProfiles/PSCell2Dmgr01/config/cells/PSCell2
cat `find . -name serverindex.xml` | grep 9943

Execute Change

/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/Dmgr01/bin/wsadmin.sh -lang jython -host `hostname` -port 8879
AdminTask.modifyServerPort('SupClusterMember2', '[-nodeName AppSrv02Node -endPointName CSIV2_SSL_SERVERAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS -host bpm101.uk.ibm.com -port 9943 -modifyShared true]')
AdminConfig.save() 
AdminNodeManagement.syncActiveNodes() 

Additional

We also saw the same for CSIV2_SSL_SERVERAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS == 9444

We made the same port change from 9444 to 9944: -

/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/Dmgr01/bin/wsadmin.sh -lang jython -host `hostname` -port 8879
AdminTask.modifyServerPort('SupClusterMember2', '[-nodeName AppSrv02Node -endPointName CSIV2_SSL_MUTUALAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS -host bpm101.uk.ibm.com -port 9944 -modifyShared true]')
AdminConfig.save() 
AdminNodeManagement.syncActiveNodes()

Visual Studio Code - Wow 🙀

Why did I not know that I can merely hit [cmd] [p]  to bring up a search box allowing me to search my project e.g. a repo cloned from GitHub...
