Creating a multi-instance broker with Windows on the Domain Controller
How you create a multi-instance broker for a high availability configuration, when Windows is installed on the Domain Controller.
Note: The
set of instructions that follows assumes that all machines with brokers
are Windows Domain Controllers.
To create a multi-instance broker that does not require the host to
be a Windows Domain Controller,
see Creating a multi-instance broker.
- Create the WebSphere® MQ multi-instance queue manager; see Creating the WebSphere MQ multi-instance queue manager.
- Create the shared directories that you require for the multi-instance broker; see Creating the shared directories.
A multi-instance broker can be created only by using the mqsicreatebroker command. It is not possible to convert an existing broker to a multi-instance broker by using the mqsichangebroker command, nor is it possible to migrate a broker from a previous release to a Version 8.0 multi-instance broker.
Similarly, a broker instance can be created only by using the mqsiaddbrokerinstance command.
You can configure a multi-instance broker to start as a WebSphere MQ service.
To create a multi-instance broker:
You have created a multi-instance broker using an existing
multi-instance queue manager. When broker MB1 and
queue manager QM1 stop on client node A,
the same broker and queue manager on client node B become
active, and return to standby when client node A becomes
active again.
