Hi all,
in my lab I had a rdqm running on CentOS 7.3 and MQ 9.1.4.0 CD.
Now I deleted those systems to setup everything with CentOS 7.8 and MQ 9.2.0.0 to make the installation more similar to my workplace.
However, I've flattened the systems 3 times now and installed everything from scratch. But I can't seam to be able to get the rdqm queue manager running.
Here's the exact installation proceedure:
Code:
Kernel Parameters on ALL system:

echo -e "fs.file-max = 524288\nnet.ipv4 = 300\nkernel.msgmni = 1024\nkernel.shmmni = 4096\nkernel.shmall = 20975152\n"  >> /etc/sysctl.conf
 
vi /etc/security/limits.conf
mqm soft nofile 10250
mqm hard nofile 10250
root soft nofile 10250
root hard nofile 10250

-> ulimit -n 10250

Repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/mqserver92el7.repo

echo -e "[mqseries92el7]\nname=IBM MQ Series 9.2.0.0 EL 7\nbaseurl=http://repomq92el7.md80.ch/\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=0\n" > /etc/yum.repos.d/mqserver92el7.repo

Firewall-cmd on ALL system:

firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=1414/tcp
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=7000-7100/tcp
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=5404-5407/udp

The rdqm.ini looks like this:

Code:

After the installation i did:
REBOOT ALL 3 SYSTEMS !!!!!

on all nodes run:
sudo /opt/mqm/bin/rdqmadm -c

REBOOT ALL 3 SYSTEMS !!!!!!

after the systems where up again i did following:
Code:

Check the system logs for further error messages indicating why the file system is unavailable, resolve the issue and then reissue the command.

Do you have any further error messages in the AMQERR01.LOG or syslog to further expand on why the file system is unavailable?

Cheers,

Hello Morag,
thank you for the input. The AMQERR01.LOG does not show any errors. But I realized that there are two logfiles of interesst. /var/mqm/error/RDQM.log and /var/log/pacemaker.log. Both show several errors that are somewhat hard to interpret.
I've made a checkpoint for my VMs that I can return to now. Just after everything is installed and rebooted. Before issuing the rdqmadm -c command. Interesting is the command now shows me following output:
Code:
[mqm@mqhub1 mqm]$ sudo /opt/mqm/bin/rdqmadm -c
Configuring the replicated data subsystem.
The replicated data subsystem has been configured on this node.
The replicated data subsystem has been configured on 'mqhub2.md80.ch'.
The replicated data subsystem has been configured on 'mqhub3.md80.ch'.
The replicated data subsystem configuration is complete.

But in the RDQM.log I see:
Code:
2020-08-26 15:40:22.665:  2100 ---{ /usr/bin/ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=yes -o PasswordAuthentication=no -o ConnectTimeout=5 10.0.1.20 /var/mqm/rdqm/rdqmadm -c
>>STDERR:

You need to run the following command on node '10.0.1.30':
rdqmadm -c
Command '/opt/mqm/bin/rdqmadm' run with sudo.

and crm status issued just after that command:

Code:
[mqm@mqhub1 mqm]$ crm status
Stack: corosync
Current DC: mqhub1.md80.ch (version 1.1.21-4.el7-f14e36fd43) - partition with quorum

now trying to create the RDQM queue manager:

The log above probably exceeded the forum max text.
But trying to make sense of it.

I've now done another two experiments. One with selinux permissive and firewalld disabled. The other with rdqm.ini without the "Name" key. It was not in the rdqm.ini of my 9.1.0.4 installation.
Both ended with the same result. But this rules out selinux and firewall as a problem source.

Kind Regards,
Gerhard

This is really driving me insane. I've tried just about everything I can think of. Next step I will try to setup CentOS 8 With MQ 9.2.0.0. It uses Pacemaker 2 rather then 1. Maybe that makes a difference.

At this point I would actually dear to say that rdqmadm -c is buggy or the installation guide in the KC is wrong of missing something.

Kind Regards,
Gerhard

Can you try using an approved O/S for MQ?

I totally get your point. Centos is not officially Supported. But for one i can‘t afford $10k per year for a rhel subscription for my educational use. Secondly I‘m willing to take any bet that rhel will behave just the same way as Centos. If RDQM worked with centos 7.3 I don‘t see why it should not work with 7.8.

Kind Regards
Gerhard

Here's an update on this issue... I failed to find the cause, why the installation does not work. So I installed a Centos 7.6.1810 system and installed MQ 9.1.5.0 (CD version). I installed it with the "installRDQMsupport" script. Which essentially does nothing else but check the kernel version and install the corresponding kmod-drbd package. That's basically what I do with my wrapper rpm too.
The installation works without any recognizable issues. Also switching nodes with floating IP works.

However, I'm now trying to install MQ 9.1.0.6 on Centos 7.8. The base installation 9.1.0.0 does not support the 7.8 kernel. That is clear. So I tried installing the fixpack's installRDQMsupport script first. Basically it runs through. But with a warning :
Code:

  Installing : kmod-drbd-9.0.23_3.10.0_1127-1.x86_64                                                                                                                              91/91
WARNING: ipmi_devintf module isn't available.
WARNING: ipmi_msghandler module isn't available.


following, I installed the "standard" MQ packages. Then trying to install MQSeriesRDQM-9.1.0-0.x86_64.rpm fails:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem


Googling hearbeat I see that it's deprecated for RHEL 7 and not available in EPEL. Trying to find the RPMs manually, I only find a version 3.0.4 in the EPEL 6 repos. Nothing in the PreReqs directory either.


Has any one gotten this to work ? Either Centos or RHEL ?
I guess I will have the same issue trying to install "OS" 7.5 instead of 7.8. (7.5 in the latest version supported by the base 9.1.0.0 MQ version)

Kind Regards,

Gerhard

I've installed CentOS 7.5.1804 now with MQ 9.1.0.0 (LTS) using the installRDQMSupport script. No errors. hearbeat is located in 9.1.0.0 under PreReqs/Pacemaker (not in the Fixpack 9.1.0.6).

However, creating an RDQM is exactly the same as on CentOS 7.8 with 9.2.0.0. No errors in AMQERR0.log or on the stdout. Queue manager does not start up:
Code:
[mqm@mqhub1 mqm]$ rdqmstatus
Node:                                   mqhub1.md80.ch

Queue manager name:                     MQHUBHA1
Queue manager status:                   Status not available
HA current location:                    Unknown


I'm beginning to suspect that RDQM only works with CD versions. Any other experiences ? Has anyone a running RDQM from an LTS installation RHEL or CentOS ?

Kind Regards,

Gerhard

I might have gotten one small step closer to the cause... on the system that does not run I see:
Code:

[mqm@mqhub1 mqm]$ drbdadm role all
secondary

where it should be primary. (This is correct on the system that does work.)
That is also why I get:
Code:

[mqm@mqhub1 dev]$ sudo mount /dev/drbd100 /var/mqm/vols/mqhubha
mount: /dev/drbd100 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: mount /dev/drbd100 on /var/mqm/vols/mqhubha failed: Wrong medium type

I then try to set things straight:
Code:

[mqm@mqhub1 dev]$ sudo drbdadm primary all
[mqm@mqhub1 dev]$ drbdadm role all
Primary

[mqm@mqhub1 dev]$ sudo mount /dev/drbd100 /var/mqm/vols/mqhubha

This actually mounts the filesystem correctly. But the queue manager still won't start or stop
Code:

[mqm@mqhub1 mqhubha]$ strmqm MQHUBHA
IBM MQ queue manager 'MQHUBHA' HA sub-system is already active.
[mqm@mqhub1 mqhubha]$ dspmq
QMNAME(MQHUBHA)                                           STATUS(Ended immediately)

[mqm@mqhub1 mqhubha]$ endmqm -i MQHUBHA
AMQ8146E: IBM MQ queue manager not available.


So one question, why is the primary system set wrong (set to secondary) ? and when the filesystem is there why won't the queue manager still not start ?

Also I've see in the KC that one should first create the secondary queue managers with crtmqm -sxs then the primary with crtmqm -sx . But I've seen that it's also possible to just use crtmqm -sx on the primary. The secondary appear to be create automatically then.

Kind Regards,
Gerhard

I was not aware of this...until now.
https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2016/03/31/no-cost-rhel-developer-subscription-now-available/

So I wil try to download rhel 7.8 and install MQ 9.2.0.0 and see if rdqm works.


Kind Regards,
Gerhard

Not that I would ever doubt your trustworthiness but, nope same issue with REHL 7.8 and MQ 9.2.0.0 as CentOS 7.8 and MQ 9.2.0.0.

Just wondering what I could possibly be doing wrong... I've checked just about everything from drbd over corosync to pacemaker. I went over the MQ installation guide time and time again...

I guess I will try the RHEL / MQ9.2.0.0 installation on my employers system, if the issue occurs there too I guess I will just have to open a PMR.

EDIT: Is it possible to open PMRs or have any official IBM support as a "private" person ? means I don't have an MQ license. Just using the developer editions for educational purposes.

Cheers,
Gerhard

OK, I've just checked my test installation and I have the following:

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.4 (Maipo)

    Kernel Version 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.x86_64

    IBM MQ Version 9.0.4.0

SELinux is disabled, and the Kernel version for this setup must not be beyond 7.2/7.3

installRDQMsupport and configure.sh scripts were run.

MQ environment and installation were set.

root and mqm were added to the haclient group.

My rdqm.ini file is as follows:

Code:
Node:
  HA_Primary=192.168.75.129
  HA_Alternate=192.168.75.132
  HA_Replication=192.168.75.135
Node:
  HA_Primary=192.168.75.130
  HA_Alternate=192.168.75.133
  HA_Replication=192.168.75.136
Node:
  HA_Primary=192.168.75.131
  HA_Alternate=192.168.75.134
  HA_Replication=192.168.75.137


Hopefully this will be of help to you as a double-check of anything missed.
