Issue/Introduction

The VANWEBUI does not start after upgrading
The messages in the VANWEBUI job log point to the apache catalina server startup:

Feb 08, 2019 12:41:48 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start 
INFO: Server startup in 115085 ms 
Feb 08, 2019 12:41:49 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer await 
SEVERE: StandardServer.await: create[localhost:18005]: 
java.net.BindException: EDC8116I Address not available. 
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method) 

Resolution

There are 2 ways to fix this problem:

1. With the Vantage StoragePoint™ Web Client installation wizard, in the section 'shutdown port number', set the value to -1.  
2. Manually edit the 'server.xml' file found in the 'conf' folder for the tomcat run-time environment (for example: ... /runtime/apache-tomcat-x.y.nn/conf/server.xml).  Ensure that the line looks like this:  <Server port="-1" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">.  Restart the web client task again. 

Note:  Setting the shutdown port to '-1' will disable it, and is a valid option. The shutdown port provides the OS a neutral and scriptable option on how to shut down the Tomcat instance; however, in the case of Vantage StoragePoint™ Web Client it is not normally necessary since most Vantage StoragePoint™ Web Client users are shutting down the STC from either SDSF or SYSVIEW.
