Hi,

I have a customer who is considering using WMQ V6 with an MSCS cluster for a proof of concept that will bring him into production 2006/Q1.

This will be part of his core insurance operations.

Is he better to stick with V5.3 CSD11 or to go with V6?

BTW, I did not dind any CSDs for V6. Are there any yet?

Thanks.

Personally I would go with V6.o for a new install, however, as you mentioned that it will be part of a cluster I may be tempted go go with 5.3 if there are other 5.3 players in the cluster.

Nope, no CSD's yet for V6.0

MQ 6.0 on Windows turns of the Windows Performance Counters upon server reboot.

Working with IBM for a fix. The PMR has "develpement researching..." for a couple of weeks now.

Otherwise Windows MQ 6.0 seems stable. Have not used it on a MSCS yet.

I have 12 MSCS clusters that we are building right now...we went with 5.3 CSD11.

Thanks guys!

For anybody interested in experimenting with MQ and MSCS in the comfort of your living room, I intalled two Win2003 servers with MQ and MSCS on a single Windows machine (a notebook) with VMWare GSX using simultated shared SCSI. And it works fine!

To test moving queue managers to the cluster and failover scripts, its more than enough...
