AW: Disaster Recovery scenario for Unix box?

2003-09-26 Thread Kleinmanns, Hubert
Hi William, to my mind, MQ clustering or server clustering are methods, to have normal fail-over or load-balancing features. DR means, to recreate an environment in a disaster situation (e. g. your whole computer center burns down). In this case, you need to have a possibility, to recreate your

Rick, you will have problems, if you use MQ clustering. In this case, different qmgrs will be seen in the cluster repository as different objects with the same name. They are different, because of the qmgr IDs (on servers: qmgr name plus a timestamp). On the other hand they are same - e. g. in

Hi Rebecca, the saveqmgr program does not store the permissions set with the setmqaut command. You need another supportpac (I guess MS0I), to save the authorities too. Nevertheless, saveqmgr stores only the qmgr configuration, not the qmgr itself. This means, you will be able, to create a qmgr

Hubert, it depends on the level of MQ you're running -- While earlier releases required a SupportPac to store the setmqauts (although I just added them to a file and reran the whole thing when I changed permissions), V5.3 provides a command that will create a file with the required commands. One
