We have activated the DEBUG logging on AMQ and the slave broker does not log anything else then trying to lock the KahaDB, even though the Camel client got connected to it: From amq log on slave broker: 2021-08-01 05:43:52,899 | DEBUG | Database \\usgwdfsfs01\GWD_DFS_FS\GWD_DFS_PRO\AMQ\kahadbEIHUB\lock is locked... waiting 10 seconds for the database to be unlocked.

And the Camel instance (competing consumers config) connects to the slave broker: 2021-08-01 05:44:52 INFO FailoverTransport:1052 - Successfully connected to tcp://BASENAME-I02:61646 The Master Broker is on BASENAME-I01. Of course the started Camel route fails with a exchange timeout exception. Maybe there is a small bug in AMQ and that is why the slave broker accepted the connection ? -----Original Message----- From: Matt Pavlovich <mattr...@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, July 26, 2021 6:19 PM To: users@activemq.apache.org Subject: EXTERNAL: Re: Slave Broker accepts incoming connection from Apache Camel AMQ consumer in competing consumption mode [Use caution with links & attachments] Hello Stefan- No, this does not sound normal. The broker does not activate transportConnectors (for clients) or networkConnectors when in ’slave’ mode. Check the logs on the brokers to see what’s going on with the lock activation. Note— you have to have a supported file system that supports correct distributed lock management (NFSv4, GFSv2, etc). File systems such as Windows SMB or CIFS shares do NOT handle locks properly.
