[jira] [Updated] (GEODE-4726) Documentation is misleading with a multi-homed Geode cluster

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-4726?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Kyle R Dunn updated GEODE-4726:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
Trying to bind Geode to an arbitrary network interface (e.g. {{eth2}}), requires some non-obvious parameters to be set.  Some of these parameters appear to be unrelated to multi-homing entirely, yet are necessary for both a locator and server to start correctly.

For example, the {{server-bind-address=w.x.y.z}} parameter appears to have no effect on the interface used by the server process;  however passing {{bind-address=w.x.y.z}} to the server startup produces the correct startup behavior.

Additionally, the {{hostname-for-clients}} parameter appears to be required for certain Geode extensions to function once added to the {{CLASSPATH}} - in my case it was a propriety Pivotal extension (GGC). 

{code:bash}
// The following script was used successfully on Mac OS to bind to the "last" interface listed by ifconfig (vmnet8)
#!/bin/bash

rm -rf locator1 server1

export GEODE_HOME=/opt/pivotal-gemfire-9.3.0
export CLASSPATH=${GEODE_HOME}/lib/gemfire-greenplum-3.1.1.jar

gfsh <<EOF
start locator --name=locator1 --locators=172.16.139.1[10334] --bind-address=172.16.139.1 --port=10334 --include-system-classpath --hostname-for-clients=172.16.139.1

start server --name=server1 --start-rest-api=true --http-service-port=28080  --locators=172.16.139.1[10334] --bind-address=172.16.139.1 --cache-xml-file=../config/ggc_cache.xml --classpath=${CLASSPATH} --include-system-classpath

EOF
{code}
