Define remote server instances to the ColdFusion Administrator

You can use the Cluster Manager to add ColdFusion server instances running on other computers. However, first define them to the ColdFusion Administrator through the Add Remote Server Instance area of the Instance Manager page.

Note: To define a remote server instance, it must be running. You cannot start or stop servers remotely.

  1. Open the ColdFusion Administrator for the cfusion server in a browser (http://hostname:8300/CFIDE/administrator).

  2. Select Enterprise Manager > Instance Manager.

  3. Specify the following in the Add Remote ColdFusion Instance area:

    • Server name

    • The IP address or DNS name of the remote host.

    • The remote port of the remote server. To determine the remote port, open the jrun_root/servers/servername/SERVER-INF/jndi.properties file and note the port number in the java.naming.provider.url property.

  4. Click Add Remote ColdFusion Server.
