Configuring HA Profiles

This section of the document provides details about the pre-configured HA profiles. These profiles can be found in %FIORANO_HOME%\fmq\profiles under FioranoMQ_HA_rpl and FioranoMQ_HA_shared directories respectively.shared directories respectively.

Primary and Secondary Servers can be started simply by booting the container with these profiles. The table below lists the profiles to be used for Primary and Secondary Servers when setting up HA in Replication or Shared mode.

To launch the server on one of these profiles, use the following command:

For example, to launch the primary server in replication mode, use the following command:

Following steps need to be followed for configuring any HA profiles

1. Start Fiorano eStudio. Select Tools >Configure FioranoMQ from the menu bar.
2. Select the directory pointing to %SELECTED_HA_PROFILE% from the dialog box and click the Open button.
3. Right-click on the selected profile, select FioranoMQ Replicated HA or FioranoMQ Shared HA option. User now can see a new window appeared with all the required configurable parameters. Now, configure all the required parameters.

Configure BackupHAIPAddress & BackupHAPort of remote Server: HA Layer of an FioranoMQ server connects to the backup server's HA Layer. In order to configure the back-up server's IP and Port, navigate to the node specified below and set the value of BackupHAIPAddress and BackupHAPort displayed in the Properties of FioranoHAKRPCProvider pane.
%SELECT_HA_PROFILE% > Fiorano > HAKRPCProvider > FioranoHAKRPCObject

The default profiles have Backup HA IP address configured to localhost and BackupHA Port to 3000 in primary server and 2000 in secondary server. In other words, Primary Server's HA Layer in default profiles would try to connect at localhost on port 3000 while the Secondary's HA Layer would try to connect to localhost on port 2000 by default.

Configure self - Port: This port refers to the port number on which HA Layer would accept connection from its peer server. The default HA profiles have their HA Port configured for primary server as 2000 and secondary server as 3000. In order to configure Self port, navigate to the node specified below and modify the value of Port in the Properties of FioranoHAConnectionManager pane
%SELECTED_HA_PROFILE% > Fiorano > FioranoHAConnectionManager

Configure Lock file: Full path of the file which will be used for determining the HA states. This file should be present in the third machine and always be available to the HA servers with all permissions. The LockFile machine must be same as the machine whose IPAddress is given as GatewayServerIPAddress. In order to configure Lock file, navigate to the node specified below and modify the value of LockFile in the Properties of FioranoHAManager pane. Path to Lock file:
%SELECTED_HA_PROFILE% > Fiorano > FioranoHAManager

A file is created and the directory containing this file is shared with read/write permissions. The lock file, if present on a machine having UNIX/Solaris operating system should be shared by using the NFS protocol - version 4. If the lock file is present on Windows it should be shared using the Samba Protocol. (The lock file can be shared on Windows using NFS – version 4, if it supports it.)

Setup:

Note: The user has to make sure that, the operating system hosting the server supports the protocol used for sharing the lock file. The LockFile and the directory containing the LockFile should have read/write permissions set. On Operating Systems other than Windows, one can verify the permissions using the ls -l command.
On Windows Operating System, the directory on the gateway machine containing the LockFile should be mapped to a network drive.

Example:
If the directory containing the lock file on Windows, is shared using the samba protocol, this directory should be mapped to a network drive on the Windows machine hosting the server. Let us say the shared directory is mapped to a drive letter 'Z:/' and the lock file is lock.lck , the lock file path now becomes 'Z:/lock.lck'. This path should be used to set the LockFile parameter while configuring the profile via Fiorano eStudio.
On non Windows Operating System, the directory on the gateway machine containing the LockFile should be mounted on the machine hosting the server.

Examples:
If the lock file is present in a windows samba share & is mounted at /home/user/db on the machine hosting the server then the lock file path on the machine hosting the server would be /home/user/db/lock.lck. This absolute path should be used to set the LockFile parameter while configuring the profile via Fiorano eStudio.

Example Mount Command:
'mount -t cifs –o rw //<gatewayIP>/<sharename> <path on local machine where the directory has to be mounted.>' If the lock file 'lock.lck' is shared using NFS v4 and the directory db is mounted at /home/user/db on the machine hosting the server then the lock file path on the machine hosting the server would be /home/user/db/lock.lck. This absolute path should be used to set the LockFile parameter while configuring the profile via Fiorano eStudio.

Example Mount Command:
'mount -t nfs4 -o rw <gatewayIP>:/ <path on local machine where the directory has to be mounted.>'

Note: The newly added mount point will disappear after system reboot. The user has to make sure that the mount is automated on system reboot. One can refer to the URL 'http://www.brennan.id.au/19-Network_File_System.html#nfs4' on how to share a directory using NFS v4.

Configure Gateway Server: HA Layer pings the gateway machine to determine the status of network connectivity. The default profiles have gateway configured to localhost and should be changed to any third independent reliable machine (preferably to the physical router machine on the network). In order to configure Gateway Server, navigate to the node specified below and modify the value of GatewayServerIP Address and GatewayServerPort in the Properties of FioranoHAManager pane
%SELECTED_HA_PROFILE% > Fiorano > FioranoHAManager

Note: Gateway machine server should be configured as the machine which hosts the lock file. This is essential for the functionality of the HA server to work.

Configure isPrimary: Set Primary to true for primary FioranoMQ Server and false for backup Server by modifying its value as shown in the Properties panel by clicking the node specified below.
%SELECTED_HA_PROFILE% > Fiorano > HA > HAManager > FioranoHAManager
The default profiles are already configured. Hence, no change would be required when using them.

Common Configuration: HA requires enabling Durable Connections, Pinging and Auto Revalidation support in FioranoMQ Server. This can be done by modifying the parameters specified below in the Properties panel.
%SELECTED_HA_PROFILE% > Fiorano > etc > FmqConfigLoader

• Set AllowDurableConnections Property to true.
• Set PingEnabled to true.
• Set EnableAutoRevalidation to true

Note: The pre-created profiles already come with this configuration and hence no change would be required when working on them.
Right-click the %SELECTED_HA_PROFILE% root node present under the Explorer tab on the left side of the eStudio and select the Save option to save the configuration.

Example Configuration:

After changing the HA Layer's configuration, the server's existing database should be cleared before restarting. The existing datastore can be cleared by executing the clearDB script in fmq/bin folder of your installation with profile name as an argument.

For example, in Windows:

• clearDB.bat FioranoMQ_HA_rpl\HAPrimary
• clearDB.bat FioranoMQ_HA_rpl\HASecondary

On the client-side the primary server URL has to be added as provider URL and secondary server URL has to be added to the backup URLs.
While creating Connection Factories through the code, URLs are set in the ConnectionFactory class. The client applications can set a semi-colon separated string of urls (syntax given below) in the InitialContext environment. If the primary server is unavailable for any reason, the FioranoMQ runtime looks up the same object from the server running on the backupURL.

PROVIDER_URL
Constant that holds the name of the environment property for specifying configuration information for the service provider to use. The value of the property should contain a URL string (example, "ldap://somehost:389").

This property may be specified in the environment, an applet parameter, a system property, or a resource file. If it is not specified in any of these sources, the default configuration is determined by the service provider. The value of this constant is "java.naming.provider.url".

Example: PROVIDER URLs can be specified as: http://164.164.130.1:1856;http://localhost:1856

INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY
Constant that holds the name of the environment property for specifying the initial context factory to use. The value of the property should be the fully qualified class name of the factory class that will create an initial context. This property may be specified in the environment parameter passed to the initial context constructor, an applet parameter, a system property, or an application resource file. If it is not specified in any of these sources, the value of this constant is "java.naming.factory.initial".

Example: INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY can be specified as:
fiorano.jms.runtime.naming.FioranoInitialContextFactory

Backup ConnectURLs
Backup ConnectURLS are URLs of the Backup Servers that are used in case the Primary Server is down. Multiple backup URLs may be used but need to be separated by the use of semicolons.

Example: Backup Connect URLs can be specified as: http://backupServer1:1856;http://backupServer2:1856

Replicated HA

Configuring FioranoMQ HA in replication mode is much easier, as the pre-created profiles are mostly ready to be used (only the gateway IP needs to be modified). These profiles are pre-configured to demonstrate HA on a single machine. However, one can easily setup HA on two different machines as well by properly configuring the HA Layer (as described below).

Basic configurations

One can configure replicated HA profile through changing Configs.cfg file (text based configuration) or through eStudio. Following section describe these options.

Text based

Profiles can now be configured through a text based properties file. Profiles can be found under the %FIORANO_HOME%\fmq\profiles\FioranoMQ_HA_rpl directory (say, PROFILE_HOME). In order to configure replicated HA profile, edit Configs.cfg file under %PROFILE_HOME%\HAPrimary\conf and %PROFILE_HOME%\HASecondary\conf.

The default entries in Configs.cfg file looks like:

ObjectName=Container

HA Common Properties.
#

#FMQGroup.BackupServerIp=localhost
#FMQGroup.BackupServerPort=1956
#FMQGroup.BackupHAPort=3000
#FMQGroup.BackupHAIPAddress=localhost
#FMQGroup.Port=2000
#FMQGroup.PingInterval=30000
#FMQGroup.LockFile=null
#FMQGroup.SocketCreationTimeout=10000
#FMQGroup.GatewayServerIPAddress=localhost
#FMQGroup.GatewayServerPort=7
In front of every parameter, its default values are given.

Take the scenario of running HAPrimary on a machine with IPAddress: 192.169.1.22 and HASecondary on a machine with IPAddress: 192.169.1.200. GatewayServer address is given as 192.169.1.16 which is present in the network. If LockFile, say Lock.dat, has been shared from third system and mounted to /home/fmq1 on 192.168.1.22 system and to /home/fmq2 on 192.168.1.200 system, then on Primary profile these parameters should takes following value:

ObjectName=Container

HA Common Properties.
#
FMQGroup.BackupServerIp=192.168.1.200
#FMQGroup.BackupServerPort=1956
#FMQGroup.BackupHAPort=3000

#FMQGroup.Port=2000
#FMQGroup.PingInterval=30000
FMQGroup.LockFile=/home/fmq1/Lock.dat
#FMQGroup.SocketCreationTimeout=10000
FMQGroup.GatewayServerIPAddress=192.168.1.16
#FMQGroup.GatewayServerPort=7
On Secondary profile these parameters should takes following value:
ObjectName=Container

HA Common Properties
#
FMQGroup.BackupServerIp=192.168.1.22
#FMQGroup.BackupServerPort=1856
FMQGroup.BackupHAIPAddress=192.168.1.22
#FMQGroup.BackupHAPort==2000
#FMQGroup.Port=3000
#FMQGroup.PingInterval=30000
FMQGroup.GatewayServerIPAddress=192.168.1.16
#FMQGroup.GatewayServerPort=7
FMQGroup.LockFile=/home/fmq2/Lock.dat
#FMQGroup.SocketCreationTimeout=10000
Modified Configs.cfg file need to be saved for both Primary and secondary profiles.

eStudio

Note: Here, %SELECTED_HA_PROFILE% refers to FioranoMQ_HA_rpl\HAPrimary or FioranoMQ_HA_rpl\HASecondary.

If replicated HA profile needs to be used, then open FioranoMQ_HA_rpl/HAPrimary and FioranoMQ_HA_rpl/HASecondary profile in eStudio Profile Manager. Right-click on the profile and click on FMQ Replicated HA. The FMQ Replicated HA wizard appears.

You can configure all the required values from the wizard. After configuring the wizard, right-click the node and select Save option from the pop-up menu.

The following properties are available in the FMQ HA replicated wizard.

BackupHAIPAddress
This IP represents the URL where another FioranoMQ HA server runs. In case this HA server fails then all the required synchronized data is present in backup HA server and HA layer connects to backup HA server.

BackupHAPort
This port represents the backup machine HA port on which another FioranoMQ Server runs.

Port
This port represents the FMQ Server HA port on which this HA Server runs.

LockFile
Full path of the file which will be used for determining the HA states. This file should be present in the third machine and always available to the HA servers with all permissions. The LockFile machine must be same as the machine whose IPAddress is given as GatewayServerIPAddress.

GatewayServerIPAddress
This value represents the IP address of third machine which is always present in the network. This value must not be the machine where one of the FioranoMQ servers runs.

GatewayServerPort
This value represents the port to which any of the HA Servers pings. This port must not be used for some other purpose.

ActiveLockAcquisitionInterval:
This parameter indicates the wait Interval between each attempt to acquire the lock for active server. This value should be in multiples of pingInterval/2 otherwise server may try to acquire the lock on the next multiple of pingInterval/2.

PassiveLockAcquisitionInterval:
This parameter indicates the wait Interval for the passive server to acquire the lock when the link between active and passive server is down. This value should be greater than '2*ActiveLockReacquisitionInterval', otherwise an exception will be thrown. Server won't start if this value is not set properly.
All IP addresses, ports should represent the correct values. Without modifying any of these values HAPrimary and HASecondary can run on a single machine.
Take the scenario of running HAPrimary on a machine with IPAddress: 192.169.1.22 and HASecondary on a machine with IPAddress: 192.169.1.200. Gatewayserver address is given as 192.169.1.16 which is present in the network. If LockFile, say Lock.dat, has been shared from third system and mounted to /home/fmq1 on 192.168.1.22 system and to /home/fmq2 on 192.168.1.200 system, then HAPrimary wizard looks like:

MaxWaitTimeout

Whenever an owning server realizes that there has been a change in its peer server's state, it must handle the change in its peer state by changing its state appropriately. While the owning server is changing state it starts a timer. If for some reason the state change is unable to complete after a reasonable amount of time then the owning server must realize that.This parameter specifies the maximum waiting timeout in milliseconds for which the local server should wait for state transition to complete.

Configuration:
In Configs.cfg file this property can be found under HA Manager Settings. Example: #MaxWaitTimeout=30000
User can change this value and for taking changes into effect uncomment the value. Example: MaxWaitTimeout=35000
