Hi,
In my envirnonment I have MQ installed on Solaris.our business is supply-chain based so that we have connected to 120 customers with MQ channels(all customers have MQ server installed intheir system).
60 customers are connected to one gateway queue manager and another 60 to another qateway queue manager.
Here are my requirement regarding HA
if one gateway qmgr is down all the connections should automatically connect to another queue manager. Both queue managers are located on two different servers.
it would be great if you through any ideas.
Thanks |

you should look at creating a cluster with your two qmgrs and your partners qmgrs...
that way they'll automatically switch when one of your qmgrs goes down - the other option is just have one gateway qmgr that is put under hardware HA control (less config. req's on your partners end)...

Use HA software to support and fail over the gateway queue managers.

Are these all connected sever-server or client server?
If they're server-server you can cluster the queue managers, but you'll hit the stuck message problem (discussed on this forum - use the search function) which might be an issue.
If they're client-server then you could use client connection table IF the applications are well behaved and reconnect on failure.
Best solution for HA is HA software.

Your two Gateway queue managers and the Customer queue managers in one cluster, and your two Gateway queue managers and your 'processing' queue managers in another, overlapping cluster, plus your two Gateway queue managers set up on HA hardware/software, e.g. separate LPAR's and HACMP - that's about as HA as it's possible to get.

Thanks for your response.
I cann't cretae cluster with my partners.
The only other option probably I can think of HA software.I know there is HACMP for AIX, can I use that for my existing MQ n Solaris and are there any other HA softwares in market.
Thanks |

VCS (Veritas) and MC/ServiceGuard (HP) are two that spring to mind...investigate the use of the MC91 SupportPac, which mentions them.

We are using Veritas Clustering for SunOS servers. |
