Hi

I am trying out the sample of HornetQ failover using 2 Jboss server running in different machines.

In the first Jboss server I configured  HornetQ as Live server.

In the second JBoss server I configured another HQ as backup server.

I have used the attached config file for HornetQ setup.

The first Jboss server I am starting with - standalone-hornetq-colocated-primary.xml

The second Jboss server I am starting with - standalone-hornetq-colocated-sec.xml

I am getting the below error in the second Jboss server console -

4:38:08,043 INFO  [org.jboss.as] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS015874: JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final "Brontes" started in 10151ms - Started 152 of 198 services (45 services are passive or on-demand)

Please have a look at the attached files and help me out solving this issue.I am just trying out if i kill the primary HQ server the Backup server should take it up.
