I want to run JMeter in distributed manner. My requirement is such that there should be multiple jmeter-server processes running on my slave machines. In order to do so I ran below commands.

./jmeter-server -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=XX.XX.X.XXX -Dserver.rmi.localport=60001

./jmeter-server -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=XX.XX.X.XXX -Dserver.rmi.localport=60001

Each time I run this command I see below messages on the console. Same error is for port 60002

Created remote object: UnicastServerRef2 [liveRef: [endpoint:[XX.XX.X.XXX:60001](local),objID:[-823e97d:171c37a0bf7:-7fff, -7549432026360676360]]]


Created remote object: UnicastServerRef2 [liveRef: [endpoint:[XX.XX.X.XXX:60002](local),objID:[7b7158d6:171c37bd76f:-7fff, 2942891814894680180]]]

On the master, the remote server are configured as XX.XX.X.XXX:60001 and XX.XX.X.XXX:60002. But each time I run the test I get below error.

I have checked and port 1099, 60001 and 60002 are open for all TCP as well as UDP traffic.

Can someone please help?

Run servers this way:

jmeter -Dserver_port=60001 -s -j jmeter-server1.log -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=XX.XX.X.XXX


jmeter -Dserver_port=60002 -s -j jmeter-server1.log -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=XX.XX.X.XXX

Then controller this way:

jmeter -R -Jremote_hosts=XX.XX.X.XXX:60001,XX.XX.X.XXX:60002 -n -t Testplan.jmx -l results.csv -e -o reportfolder

  1. You're using wrong property, you need to amend server.rmi.port

  2. You need to use different ports for different client engines, to wit:

    • start slave 1:

      jmeter-server -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=127.0.0.1 -Dserver.rmi.port=60001

    • start slave 2: 

      jmeter-server -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=127.0.0.1 -Dserver.rmi.port=60002

    • start master:

      jmeter -Jremote_hosts=127.0.0.1:60001,127.0.0.1:60002 -r -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl

    replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP address of your machine where you have slave instances (if it's different from the master)

  3. Your "requirement" doesn't make sense at all as having 2 JMeter slave instances on the same machine is worse in terms of performance than having 1 instance

  4. According to JMeter best practices you should be using the latest version of JMeter so consider upgrading to JMeter 5.2.1
