I'm just getting started with QPid and want to setup HA with Broker-J. We are trying to replace our current ActiveMQ environment where we use a Master Slave approach for HA and just have 2 nodes running. I really want to just have 2 nodes with Broker-J also because that setup has been working fine for us with ActiveMQ and I really don't want to have 3 VMs used for both our Test and Production Broker-J environments.
I've read the documentation regarding Required Minimum Number Of Nodes and Allow to Operate Solo and it sounds as if those options are really meant for manual use in a 2 node HA environment (for example you shouldn't have Allow to Operate Solo enabled for more than one node at a time). Is it possible to have a 3 node environment just using 2 brokers (so I can just have 2 VMs for each of our Test and Production environments)? For example can I have one VirtualHostNode on Broker A and then 2 VirtualHostNodes on Broker B. I've set this up but am not having much luck getting either node on Broker B accept requests from a client (when I stop the node on Broker A) even though the Virtual Host is reporting as ACTIVE on Broker B - the client is reporting that the Virtual Host is unknown. However as soon as I start the Virtual Host Node on Broker A, I can successfully have my (JMS) client connect to the MASTER Virtual Host Node on Broker B. Anyway I'm wondering if the setup I'm trying (2 VMs with 1 Broker running on each but 1 of the brokers has 2 VirtualHostNodes for the VirtualHost) is even valid or do I really need to have 3 VMs with 1 Broker each running? Just trying to see if I can keep the same 2 VM setup we have for ActiveMQ. -- Sent from: http://qpid.2158936.n2.nabble.com/Apache-Qpid-users-f2158936.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
