ActiveMQ HA

There are various ways to achieve high availability with ActiveMQ; one of which is Shared File System Master/Slave configuration, where Shared File System is a directory on a shared file system. Multiple AMQ brokers can function as a cluster by configuring them to use the same shared file system directory. One of the brokers becomes the master broker and others become slaves. If master broker fails, another broker takes over as a master broker. You can restart the original master at any time. The Log On user of the ActiveMQ services must have write permission on Shared Directories.
