We are planning to migrate our mqseries hub and message broker from the Solaris/SPARC environment to another architecture. We have built a high availability setup with two Sun machines, using Veritas Cluster Server to manage the failover between them. Our preferred new architecture would be HP-UX on Itanium using ServiceGuard, but I don't believe IBM is porting the Message Broker to Itanium.
I have some questions for those who use a hub/spoke architecture with MQ and the message broker.
(1) How concerned are you about availability?
(2) How have you designed the system to provide high availability? (Active/Active, Active/Inactive, Veritas, Serviceguard, Windows Cluster,...)
(3) What platforms are the most stable, best supported for the message broker? (z/OS, Unix, Linux, Windows,...)
(4) In a high availability environment; (a) What platform would you recommend? (b) Why?
Thank you,
Barry

IBM supports all of the platforms that it claims to support equally vigorously.
So there isn't a supported platform that is more or less supported than another supported platform.
You can't really begin to design a system for high availability without being a bit more precise about what that means. What are your real availability requirements? How much downtime can you really live with? How expensive is it to achieve those requirements? Can you live with the expense?
