IT37427: crtdrprimary for a HA queue manager fails with AMQ3930E due to DR replication interfaces mismatch on the HA appliances

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When adding a HA queue manager to a DR configuration(i.e.
  running
  crtdrprimary command) with different interfaces configured as DR
  replication interfaces on the HA appliances, the crtdrprimary
  command
  fails with error AMQ3930E.
  
  Example(using eth):
  
  Failure  : eth30 as DR interface on HA appliance 1 and eth31 as
  DR interface on HA appliance 2
  Success : eth30 or eth31  as DR interfaces on both HA appliance
  
  Example(using Ling Aggregation Interfaces):
  
  Failure  : LAG1 as DR interface on HA appliance 1 and LAG2 as DR
  interface on HA appliance 2
  Success : LAG1 or LAG2  as DR interfaces on both HA appliance
  
  MQ appliance has requirement that same interface should be used
  as DR interface for a HA
  queue manager on both HA appliances. This requirement is
  applicable only when the
  DR configuration is using floating IP. However the crtdrprimary
  for HA queue manager fails
  even when no floating IP is used for DR replication.
  

Local fix

• Use the same 'Configuration name' for the custom link-agg DR
  replication interface.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  IBM MQ Appliance users configuring DR for a HA queue manager
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  An incorrect check in the crtdrprimary logic caused the command
  to incorrectly enforce a requirement which mandates same
  interface for DR replication on both HA appliances even when no
  floating IP was used.
  

Problem conclusion

• The incorrect check in crtdrprimary command has been removed to
  resolve the problem.
