Add Active/Passive deployment feature for JBoss Messaging in 2 node cluster (Need HA part and not Clustering part) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBMESSAGING-784 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMESSAGING-784 Project: JBoss Messaging Issue Type: Task Components: JMS Clustering Affects Versions: 1.4.0 CR3 Reporter: Rohit Chowdhary Fix For: 2.0.0 Alpha Need to be able to deploy JBoss Messaging nodes in a HA configuration, but not load-balanced. Such that only one node is actively serving all the requests, if the current active node goes down, then the passive node picks up the load. Reason would be: To use the available h/w resources at best. We have one dedicated physical server for running JBoss msg. Another physical server that hosts existing JBoss instance running some application. We want to use this second server running a passive JBossMsg instance. So in case when the dedicated JBossMsg goes down, then the second shared server can take the load temporarily automatically, till we bring back the dedicated up again. Other reason would be that we bring down the dedicated JBossMsg server for OS level patching, essentially minimizing the app downtime and increase availablity.
