Active/Passive Clustering Requirements

You need the following to configure a Universal Messaging active/passive cluster:

  • Cluster control software to manage the clusters on Windows or UNIX.
  • Shared Storage for sharing data files.
  • IP address for running the Universal Messaging cluster service.
  • Universal Messaging installed on the cluster nodes in the same directory path (for example, C:\SoftwareAG_UM). In the installations, the data directory path for the shared storage must be the same.
Important: Universal Messaging installation must be identical on all cluster nodes. All instances of Universal Messaging must point to the same Universal Messaging storage files on the shared storage.
