Hi, I‘m trying to setup a simple ActiveMQ 5.16.x master/slave cluster using shared filesystem option. I just need one broker running at any given time and a slave for HA.
The filesystem part is clear and I have already configured it according to ActiveMQ requirements. What I don’t understand is do I _need_ to configure networkConnectors in order for master/slave to work properly? Almost every configuration example I found on the internet says that in order to have master/slave topology one only needs to point kahaDB to the same shared data directory. Every article and blog post which talk about networkConnectors say that it is only related to Network of Brokers functionality. However this link https://activemq.apache.org/networks-of-brokers#masterslave-discovery says something vague regarding masterslave:// transport. Also there is this blog post https://medium.com/@chamilad/creating-a-simple-activemq-master-slave-setup-e3de33a6bcc2 which says that networkConnector is needed? Can somebody clear things up? Is master/slave cluster is also considered as network of (two) brokers? Can I run it with or without neworkConnectors, and what is the difference from the perspective of clients then? -- Best Regards, Vilius
