Using JMX in a Cluster Environment
To use Windchill MBeans in a cluster, the following properties must be set:
The java.rmi.server.hostname property on each of the cluster cache slave nodes and on the cluster cache master node must each be set to the physical host name of the system.
The JMX management components use this property to communicate across nodes in the cluster
The wt.rmi.server.hostname property on each of the cluster cache slave nodes must be set to a commonly known name for the entire cluster. For example if the master node is named A, you can set the wt.rmi.server.hostname property for each slave node to A. This assumes that you have already set the local machine host lookup for each slave node to resolve the common name to the current node. To do this, the following entry could be added in the server host file (UNIX = /etc/hosts; Windows = \WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts):
127.0.0.1 A
* 
Do not set the wt.rmi.server.hostname property on the cluster master node.
