Since JMeter 2.7, you can start many JMeter slaves on the same machine from command-line just adding the parameter SERVER_PORT. With older versions you'll need to have copies of JMeter folder and must modify server_port value in jmeter.properties.
Look for server_port in jmeter.properties file, there are some examples on how to use it in different SOs. 2013/8/23 <[email protected]> > If I may ask, are the multiple Jmeter instances used: > - to run different test scripts > or > - because multiple VM use better the memory, with more frequent but less > blocking garbage collection... > > Thanks > Ivan > > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Adrian Speteanu [mailto:[email protected]] > Gesendet: Freitag, 23.
