Hey all,
I am trying to implement Autoscaling in AWS (if the ec2-instance with Queue Manager goes down, AWS autoscaling would create a new ec2-instance).This is for a multi-instance setup
Approach followed :
1-Have an AMI with IBM MQ fresh installation.
2-Build 2 Instances with this AMI with /var/mqm as local/EBS volume.
3-Attach EFS at boot up time to the servers via a bootup script.
4-use EFS for MQ Log and DataDirectory
5-Add a bootup script with addmqinf command for the queue manager.
Thus, once the ec2-instance is built with AMI, the server would have IBM MQ installed, the EFS attached via bootup script at runtime and mqs.ini updated via bootup scritp with addmqinf command.
During any disaster, existing ec2-instances would be terminated and new ec2-instances would be created. The Queue Manager would be failed over as a part of server termination. Since the data and log directory is in EFS, strmqm -x <QM> would start the queue managers in the new servers.
Only issue I think of is that FDC files in the now terminated EC-Instances would be lost.
Can such a configuration cause any issues at MQ level ? |

Just curious how this approach has been working out for you? (We are also looking at migrating some of our MQ servers to the cloud.)
Did you look at the "IBM MQ on AWS" Quick Start? IBM took a slightly different approach with it and did not bother with the MQ multi-instance capability and instead used AWS auto scaling group to spin up a new EC2 instance if the first one became unhealthy (with the persistent data on EFS).

With the release of IBM MQ v9.1 (Long Term Support, released in v9.0.4 Continuous Delivery), IBM introduced Replicated Data Queue Managers—a highly available solution for Linux platforms that uses three servers in a HA group, each with a queue manager |

I also tested the same configuration . AWS autoscaling takes some time to kick-in(~3-4 mins) and multi-instance does the failover in 40-50 sec usually. Combining the Auto-scaling and multi-instance features would be a good idea. |
