start-cache-server

Purpose

Starts a single cache server instance.

Requires that Gemfire is installed and the GEMFIRE environment variable is set.

Examples

Starts a cache server on an automatically assigned port:

grails start-cache-server server1

Starts a cache server on port 4111 and disables multicast server discovery:

grails start-cache-server server1 --port=4111 --mcast-port=0

Starts a cache server on port 4111, disables multicast and uses the specified locator to locate other servers:

grails start-cache-server server1 --locators=localhost[4111] --port=4111 --mcast-port=0

Description

Usage:

$ grails start-cache-server [name] [--arguments]*

This command will start a single cache server if you want to use Gemfire in client/server mode. It will also setup the appropriate classpath for Gemfire and is typically used in combination with gemfire-generate since it reads generated the target/cache.xml to configure the server.

If you plan to use multiple cache servers then you can do so use either multicast discovery or by specifying a locator server started using the start-locator script.
