Hi Jim, I am currently using in production two AMQ servers (ver 5.12) with NFSv4. The failover from one to the other happens seamlessly without any issues. As Art stated, NFSv4 is a must for failover to work properly. I have the following recommendation to achieve a quick failover: . 1) It will be a good idea to have 64GB RAM memory in the AMQ server with lots of disk space to handle high message volume. If you have less memory than ideal and if there are too many messages it can cause heavy swapping activity and thus a slowdown in performance. You should try to correct the situation 2) Make sure to have some kind of monitoring to keep an eye on KahaDB log file count. Ideally it should stay low somewhere in the range of 10 files. The count may climb in case of sudden increase in incoming messages and slower consumption or no consumption. It is a good idea to pay attention to the file count and try to resolve the issue if any to reduce chances of slowdown or AMQ crash.
If there are lots of log files (400 plus and each file size 32MB) in the KahaDB directory, it will take some time to load all the log files after failover. Once the files are loaded, AMQ will be ready to process incoming and outgoing messages. Let me know if you have any questions. Sunil > On Feb 27, 2016, at 10:05 AM, James A.
