Service IP for NativeHA QMGR setup

We have been using RDQM for a couple of years now. With the feature to attach Floating / Service Ip to the NIC with a command it helped us to route the traffic seamless within HA and across HA/DR along with network DNS routing.

We would like this to be available at the earliest to ensure business contunity.

Ideally, this should have been enabled as this is next level high availability solution. Apps have been used to this approach and going back to old ways of CCDT or Client side failover will not sell anymore.

Please prioritize this at the earliest and do let us know. Thank you.

    Thank you for sharing this idea and emphasizing its importance. We agree that it is a valuable suggestion, and we appreciate the effort you put into raising it. Currently, it does not align with strategy for Native HA, so we’re unable to move forward with it right now. However, the idea will remain open for voting and comments. Thank you again for your contribution and for helping shape the future of IBM MQ.

    Good afternoon, I share the same concern. I believe resorting to the CCDT configuration file connection is a step backward. Many of our applications no longer use it. Furthermore, adding hardware such as a load balancer would only complicate the solution, so the approach should remain the same as achieved through RDQM, using floating IP addresses. We hope to have good news soon. Best Regards, Hernan.
