Need of more resiliency and tolerant acceptance in RDQM infrastructure

Recently we had an issue where RDQM Qmgrs with preferred node setting kept on flipping between servers during an EBS issue on one of our servers. Unsetting preferred node setting facilitates to avoid this issue but bring in more operational overhead to move qmgrs to their respective servers.

What is needed? 

RDQM services should be able to handle flipping service behavior and control Qmgrs from performing multiple failover-failbacks. If possible, server level faults should be caught by RDQM and failover should be managed accordingly.

What benefits we get from this enhancement?

  • Help identify and circumvent business impacts quicker than all teams coordinating together, finding the issue and deciding to take action.
  • Server related issues is one of the major contributors for unplanned failover of Qmgrs. Helps much if RDQM can become resilient enough to capture it and take decision of failover accordingly.
