Hi,

I have created a HA cluster and RDQM (replicated data queue manager) setup using MQ Adv 9.0.4 (using Pacemaker and DRBD) , after successfully bringing up the QM, i tired to suspend the node from the cluster ( to test the a manual failover) after that i am unable to bring the queue manager up in any of the nodes - stuck with the message "IBM MQ queue manager 'DFIB02' HA sub-system is already active" below is the status/setup:

[mqm@node2~]$ dspmq
QMNAME(DFIB02) STATUS(Ended immediately)
[mqm@node2~]$ rdqmstatus -n
Node node1 is online
Node node2 is online
Node node3 is online
Command '/opt/mqm/bin/rdqmstatus' run with sudo.
[mqm@node2~]$ rdqmstatus -m DFIB02
Node: node2
Queue manager status: Ended immediately
Queue manager file system: 58MB used, 2.9GB allocated [2%]
HA role: Primary
HA status: Normal
HA control: Enabled
HA current location: This node
HA preferred location: None
HA floating IP interface: ens192
HA floating IP address: xx.xxx.xx.xxx

Node: node1
HA status: Normal

Node: node3
HA status: Normal
Command '/opt/mqm/bin/rdqmstatus' run with sudo.
[mqm@node2~]$ strmqm DFIB02
IBM MQ queue manager 'DFIB02' HA sub-system is already active.

Unfortunetly, i dont see any errors in the queue manager either. Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello

I have faced the exact same problem. Note that if the QMGR status is "Ended Immediately" on a node following a suspend operation (node 2 in your case), attempting manual start will give "IBM MQ queue manager 'DFIB02' HA sub-system is already active."
Recovery : Resume the node and then attempt to start the QMGR on node 2 OR restart the RHEL VM.

There is a possibility that RDQM is "working as designed" in this case since the QMGR should not run on a suspended node. Why dont you alter your current setup by setting an HA first and second preference (node2,node1 for example), I think this should solve the problem. How ? - By setting an HA preference you are instructing RDQM that if node2 is the first preferred node and if it fails, RDQM should attempt to restart it on node 1.

Alternatively, in your current setup, you can try to achieve QMGR failover this way without setting any HA preference - restart node 2, the QMGR should now failover to node 1 or 3. Once node 2 is back up and running, suspend it, check status and resume it. QMGR will not fail back to node 2.

Hope this helps!

Is it expected to have 3 potential locations / hosts to run the RDQM qmgr or is the system optimized for 2 potential locations only (primary/secondary)?
What does the manual say about this?

Moved to installation/configuration forum - not an MQ clustering issue.

Hi,
Do you have steps to create DRBD configuration and drbdpool?
