EAP 6 Administration and Configuration Guide - HornetQ Message Replication - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.4/html/Administration_and_Configuration_Guide/sect-High_Availability.html#HornetQ_Message_Replication

Internal

Overview

For high availability purposes, the live server and the backup server must be installed on two separated physical (or virtual) hosts, provisioned in such a way to minimize the probability of both host failing at the same time.

Configuration

shared-store

backup-group-name

This is the unique name which identifies a live/backup pair that should replicate with each other. Example: "pair-A".

check-for-live-server

If a replicated live server should check the current cluster to see if there is already a live server with the same node id. Default is false.

TODO: ?

failover-on-shutdown

Whether this backup server (if it is a backup server) becomes the live server on a normal server shutdown. Default is false.

allow-failback

Whether this server will automatically shutdown if the original live server comes back up. Default is true.

max-saved-replicated-journal-size

The maximum number of backup journals to keep after failback occurs. Specifying this attribute is only necessary if allow-failback is true. Default value is 2, which means that after 2 failbacks the backup server must be restarted in order to be able to replicate journal from live server and become backup again.

JMS Connection Factories and JMS Destinations on the Backup Server

A backup HornetQ instance does not need the <jms-connection-factories> and <jms-destinations> sections as any JMS components are created from the shared journal when the backup server becomes live.
