Hazelcast is a third-party technology that is used when Confluence Data Center is installed in a cluster configuration. It is used both by Confluence and Synchrony.
Hazelcast can be configured to use different ports by passing in Java System Properties. See Configuring System Properties to find out the various ways system properties can be set for your site.
Hazelcast port for Confluence
The Hazelcast port for Confluence can be changed by setting the confluence.cluster.hazelcast.listenPort
system property. The way this property is set is by adding the confluence.cluster.hazelcast.listenPort property in the
<installation-directory>/bin/setenv.sh
file's CATALINA_OPTS= section
If the confluence.cluster.hazelcast.listenPort
system property is not present, the Hazelcast port for Confluence will default to port 5801.
Hazelcast port for Synchrony
The Hazelcast port for Synchrony can be changed by setting the cluster.listen.port system
property. The way this property is passed to Synchrony depends on how you run Synchrony.
- If you run a Synchrony standalone cluster, the Hazelcast port is customized by adding the
cluster.listen.port
property in thestart-synchrony.sh
orstart-synchrony.bat
script. - If you use managed Synchrony, the Hazelcast port is customized by adding the
cluster.listen.port
property to thesynchrony-args.properties
file.
If the cluster.listen.port
property is not present, the Hazelcast port for Synchrony will default to port 5701.
