Hello,

I'm facing a bit of difficulties implementing the HA for my ActiveMQ service. Right now, I've correctly implemented the Master / Slave brokers of Active MQ, so if the master dies, the slave takes over the message delivery transparently. They both share a Microsoft SQL database to store the messages.

I wanted to add another level of High Availability, ensuring a database mirroring. Like this, if the principal DB server dies, the brokers will switch to the mirrored one. I've set up correctly the mirroring. (the data is correctly mirrored to the secondary DB server).

The problem is that the DB failover messes up everything.

As you know, the master / slave HA of the ActiveMq brokers works as follows: the master takes the lock in the DB and the slave tries to take it. As soon as the master dies, it frees the lock and the slave takes over and the clients switches to the new one. Problem comes with the DB mirroring. when i shutdown the principal DB server, the master fails to update the database locks. On the other hand, the slave, when he is unable to take the lock in the principal DB server, tries the secondary and of course he cannot, as it's in the mirrored state.

If i dont use the master / slave HA for activeMQ (only one broker then) the DB mirroring works.

Here are the configuration file and log of the master:

I think you require a new flavour of master/slave - added an improvement - see https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-2387

Please try adding userName and password to the networkConnector. Default, this is:

userName="system" password="manager" , brokers don't just forward messages and queues without the correct rights.

actually this is also a very useful peace of information. Not related to this acticeMQ configuration, but it solved a problem in my broker's configuration. Thank you very much :)
