Setting up two-node Db2 HADR Pacemaker cluster with Virtual IP on Microsoft Azure

How To

Summary

Setting up Virtual IP (VIP) for HADR enabled database provides a common connection point for clients without the need to disclose the actual IP address of the Primary and Standby server for the database. In the event of a failover, the client can still connect to the new Primary by using the VIP, effectively achieving automatic client reroute at the network level. The prerequisite for VIP setup is for the primary and standby servers' IP address to be on the same IP subnet.

This document provides a step-by-step procedure to set up an existing Db2 HADR configuration with Pacemaker on Azure with virtual IP address routing and the Azure Load Balancer as prerequisite for the virtual IP address.
