Alternate or additional configurations available on Amazon Web Services (AWS) for HADR environments

Configuring a two-host HADR Pacemaker cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with a quorum device host acting as a cluster arbitrator is supported. The instructions for setting this up remain unchanged when deploying on AWS hosts.

Attention: In Db2® 11.5.8 and later, Pacemaker is available for Linux cluster management on both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.

As an alternative solution to the quorum device host, you can use AWS-specific fencing agents that are configured separately.

The use of virtual IP Addresses also requires an AWS-specific implementation that differs from the virtual IP configuration with the db2cm utility.

For guidance on alternate configurations of Db2 High Availability cluster with Pacemaker on AWS, refer to the technote: Alternate or additional configurations available on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
