IT18471: IIB PURE APPLIANCE HA PATTERNS DO NOT USE SAME GID

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When deploying a virtual system pattern the active and standby
  components do not always use the same group id for the mqbrkrs
  group.
  This can cause one of the nodes to be unable to access the
  shared file system meaning that the HA deployment does not
  succeed.
  

Local fix

• Manually adjust the gids after executing the pattern
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Bus Pattern for PureApplication
  v10.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  AIX, Linux on x86-64 platform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When deploying a pattern which contains a multi-instance
  integration node it is possible for different nodes to end up
  with the mqbrkrs group being created with different gids. This
  causes failover to not work correctly.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Advance Integration Node pattern has been updated to allow
  the user to specify the group id of the mqbrkrs group. This
  should be the same on all instances of a multi-instance
  integration node.
  
  Additionally a new property has been added allowing the user id
  to run the integration server under. This id must have been
  created by an earlier script package in the stack at the time
  the Advanced Integration Node components is configured.
