Configuring the high availability group

When you configure appliances to be part of a high availability (HA) solution, you must configure the appliances to be part of the HA group.

The HA group controls the availability of the queue managers within the group, determining where the queue managers run. You must create the HA group before you can create HA queue managers to run in the group. After you create the HA group, you can view the status of the group. You can also view which queue managers are in the HA group.

If you use messaging users and groups on the appliance for authentication records in an HA queue manager, you must set up the same messaging users and groups on both appliances. The users and groups are not automatically replicated between the appliances.
