Maybe we have a similar problem with Active/Passive clustering
(version 0.20). When I restart the primary, the slave stays in state
"ready" and former primary stays in state "joining":

$ ./qpid-ha -b 10.40.48.1 status # Former primary, restarted
joining
$ ./qpid-ha -b 10.40.48.2 status # Former slave, staying in ready state
ready

Is this expected? I would expect the former slave to become "active"
by itself. Maybe I'm mistaken.


Sorry, my previous answer was too hasty. Qpid requires an external agent to
detect failure of the primary and pick one of the backups to take over.
Currently you can use cman and rgmanager (from cluster suite) to do this as
explained in the documentation. If you have another cluster resource manager
it would be fairly easy to use it instead. The link between rgmanager and
qpid is just the qpidd-primary script, another manager might also be able to
use this directly, or a similar script could be written.

Seems like I had my expectations wrong. We actually have a cluster
resource manager that I can use. Thanks!


Out of curiosity - what cluster resource manager are you using? I'd be interested in hearing about your experience integrating with a different manager. Let me know if you need any help with it.

Cheers,
Alan.
