I am trying to setup a DR for MQ using MQ MI at my laptop. I am setting up a vm as a storage server and create a iscsi target/LUN which I can mount to one of the two servers( vm here). I then need to setup NFS server in that vm and export that directory which I can access from other box ( the 2nd box need to configure as nfs client).
I have worked with MQ MI but have not configured the shared storage myself.
Appreciate your input,
Thanks

All,
I am eventually able to seutp MQ MI between my two vms running Centos 6.6 and nfs 4.
It was quite easy in fact. Just need to create nfs share with same name as in the first server. Then just follow the doc and worked.
I am including the developerworks article in case some one is interested

jeevan, thanks for sharing.
If it's not too much trouble, could you please share the guide/links/steps to setup the nfs 4 server? I've tried some Google results but at some point they fail.. I have had no luck so far...  |

In fact this is my working note. I have not been able to organize it nicely but it worked. The urls at the end will help you if you have anything unclear. I used these urls. I also watched a few videos in youtube.
Install
install nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib and check to make sure it is installed (yum install -y nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib/ rpm -qa | grep nfs-utils)
define the share in the following directory
vi /etc/export (provide the directory to share and where to share it to and the options eg. /share *(ro,async)
exportfs -rv
service nfs start
showmount -e server ip . showmount -e 192.168.1.17
Export list for 192.168.1.17:
/MQHA 192.168.1.13
/opt/share 192.168.1.13
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At client
=====
yum install nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib
mount nfsserver ip:/share /dir
Finally do a df -h.
nfsstat -m-- gives the version of nfs installed
Useful urs

What kind of issue? Does it have any impact on Multiinstance Queue Manager?
I just wanted to test and it worked. |
