I am not completely sure of the purpose for the auto-increment flag in the hazelcast XML diagram configuration file. When I disconnected, I see several exceptions in my server instance, complaining that the port is not open (already in use) for port 5701 (since the tiered frame no longer goes to port 5702, etc.). Why does Hazelcast need this property when I use tcp-enabled server setup?
I see the following in my log statements after starting the server, and it looks like it is listening on port 5701 (by default in config):
