Metrics Management assigns one port to each Metrics Management database that is online. To locate open ports, Metrics Management begins searching at the default Management server port value of 13,000. For example, if two databases are online, Metrics Management attempts to assign ports 13,001 and 13,002 to the databases.
Metrics Management supports assigning a specific port to a database. After assigning a port, the port number appears after the database name in the database list for a server, as shown in the example in Figure 10‑46. Metrics Management does not support assigning fixed and dynamic ports to multiple databases. If you use fixed ports, then assign fixed ports to all Metrics Management databases.
