12.1.4 Using Cluster Agent for IBM WebSphere MQ

VERITAS Cluster Server provides so-called Enterprise Agents for different third party applications. The Enterprise Agent for IBM WebSphere MQ provides a more extended failure detection than the Bundled Agents, for example: - Process check looks for the appropriate process of a specified Queue Manager.

- Second-Level Check pings the Queue Manager using a MQClient, which ensures that the process is really working.

Important: Enterprise Agents usually need a separate license. Contact VERITAS for detailed information.

To perform the installation, for example on UNIX or Linux, follow the instructions provided in the VERITAS Cluster Server Agent 3.5 for WebSphere MQ Installation and Configuration Guide found at: 

http://ftp.support.veritas.com/pub/support/products/ClusterServer_UNIX/

After the agent is installed, you have to import the VProWSMQTypes.cf file. Then you are able to create and configure a IBM WebSphere MQ Queue Manager resource.
