Support for high availability environments

To support installation of InfoSphere® MDM in high availability environments, you can configure multiple instances on multiple host severs. By doing so, if one server or instance goes down, the others can continue to process traffic.

Tip: To deploy InfoSphere MDM to a high availability environment, you must deploy using the custom installation path.

The MDM operational server uses an IBM® WebSphere® Application Server container and can be deployed on single server or on a cluster as configured in the container. The cluster can be pre-configured on the server. The installer can detect a clustered environment and deploy to that environment by using a custom installation.

Review the installation scenarios before you begin the installation to better understand how to support high availability and clustered environment requirements.
