My Silo Host project Program.cs Main method looks like below,

private static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
    int siloPort, gatewayPort;
    try
    {
        siloPort = int.Parse(args[0]);
        gatewayPort = int.Parse(args[1]);
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        siloPort = 11111;
        gatewayPort = 30000;
    }

    var invariant = "System.Data.SqlClient"; // for Microsoft SQL Server
    var connectionString = "Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=OrleansCluster;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False;Max Pool Size=200;MultipleActiveResultSets=True";

    var siloBuilder = new SiloHostBuilder()
                    // Clustering information
                    .Configure<ClusterOptions>(options =>
                    {
                        options.ClusterId = "dev";
                        options.ServiceId = "ServiceApp";
                    })
                    .UseAdoNetClustering(options =>
                    {
                        options.Invariant = invariant;
                        options.ConnectionString = connectionString;
                    })
                    .ConfigureEndpoints(siloPort: siloPort, gatewayPort: gatewayPort)
                    
                    .ConfigureLogging(logging => logging.AddConsole());

    using (var host = siloBuilder.Build())
    {
        await host.StartAsync();
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

To run multiple Silo, we need to specify different set of ports for each. Here we are achieving the same via parsing the args.

Now you can run a Silo by executing following command on the Silo project root directory

dotnet run <siloPort> <gatewayPort>

eg,

dotnet run 11111 30000
dotnet run 11112 30001
dotnet run 11113 30002
