How do I set up Clustering in 2 separate machines?

[mvenkatesh]

Another question from JBoss Messaging newbie..

I am able to setup 1.2.0GA in a cluster environment as described in the docs - ie multiple nodes on the same physical machine, and the distributedQueue example runs fine.

However, I am unable to setup clustering using multiple machines. I have 2 physical machines and Messaging 1.2.0GA installed on them both.

I cannot get the Messaging servers to recognize that they are in the same cluster. The AS does recognize that the machines are clustered, and HA-JNDI works like expected.

In the distributedQueue example, the Connection factory always creates a connection to the same server. The doc says that in a clustered environment, the factories will create connections in a round robin fashion.

What do I need to configure to enable that? Please help!

Thanks.

I figured this out finally...

You need to modify the JGroups config for the Clustered Post Office. The default config has a bind_address (127.0.0.1) in the clustered.xxx.persistence-service.xml file. I removed that and clustering works great now on separate machines. Note that there are 2 instances of the config in this file.
