Set up MQ cluster in active/active mode on AIX HACMP

#1 03-07-2008, 08:22 AM

Hi,

In the organization I work for we have a new project with two AIX machines running on HACMP in active / active mode.I have been asked to design and setup the WebSphere MQ 6.0 Cluster Environment working in active / active mode with the the HACMP for load balancing and high availablity.

The plan is to install Queue Managers QM1 in server1 on port 1414 and QM2 on server2 port 1415

we will install each QM on a separate shared disk to hold the MQ log files and have the persistent messages.

After setting up like the above if one machine fails both the queue managers will run on a single node so that the external applications can still connect.

Now if the queuemanager qM1 log file is corrupted or cannot start for some reason how to set up so that the external application can still connect?

The point is we do not want a single point of failure

Any suggestions /comments are welcome

Regards

Have you looked at
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview...=utf-8&lang=en ?
This is an IBM-supplied document (SupportPac MC91) describing how to do HA
with MQ on Unix.
