You mean, if we use the same Shared file system for all brokers and common DB (following config for all brokers)
<persistenceAdapter> <journaledJDBC dataDirectory="/sharedFileSystem/broker" dataSource="#db2l-ds" /> </persistenceAdapter> then the master and slave(s) use the same sharedFileSystem for Journal. Is it correct? If so, is the above config fine for Failover in clustering environment or Do you still say this is NOT appropriate for Failover. THANK YOU.
