Configure a broker to run in multi-instance mode when you require high availability using WebSphere® MQ.

Before you start:
  • Read the overview of multi-instance queue managers on WebSphere MQ; see Multi-instance queue managers.
  • For further information about multi-instance queue managers, see the WebSphere MQ information center.
The set of tasks that describe how to configure a multi-instance broker assumes the following criteria:
  • A network server is configured to host both the shared workpath for the multi-instance broker and the shared directories for the multi-instance queue manager.
  • The network server is shared between two client machines, each of which has a licensed copy of the WebSphere Message Broker and WebSphere MQ products installed.

The steps are true for all operating systems that are supported by WebSphere Message Broker and WebSphere MQ except for z/OS®. Multi-instance brokers and multi-instance queue managers are not supported on z/OS.

To configure a broker to run in multi-instance mode, complete the following steps.

  2. Create a WebSphere MQ multi-instance queue manager.
  3. Create a multi-instance broker, by choosing one of the following methods:
