High-Availability Clusters: General Configuration Properties

• imq.cluster.ha is a boolean value that specifies if the cluster is high-availability cluster (true) or a conventional broker (false). The default value is false.

  If set to true, the high-availability mechanisms for failure detection and takeover of a failed broker are enabled. High-availability clusters are self-configuring: any broker configured to use the cluster’s shared data store is automatically registered as part of the cluster, without further action on your part. If the conventional cluster property, imq.cluster.brokerlist, is specified for a high–availability broker, the property is ignored and a warning message is logged at broker startup.

• imq.persist.store specifies the model for a broker's persistent data store. This property must be set to the value jdbc for every broker in a high-availability cluster.

• imq.cluster.clusterid specifies the cluster identifier, which will be appended to the names of all database tables in the cluster’s shared persistent store. The value of this property must be the same for all brokers in a given cluster, but must be unique for each cluster: no two running clusters may have the same cluster identifier.

• imq.brokerid is a broker identifier that must be unique for each broker in the cluster. Hence, this property must be set in each broker's instance configuration file rather than in a cluster configuration file.
