About configuring Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ)

VCS provides several ways to configure a Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) service group that include the MSMQ Configuration Wizard, the Enterprise Vault Cluster Setup Wizard, Cluster Manager (Java Console), Web Console, and the command line.

To create an MSMQ service group from the Cluster Manager (Java Console), you can use the MSMQ service group configuration template, MSMQVMGroup (for SFW), or MSMQNetAppGroup (for NetApp). These templates are installed at %vcs_home%\templates directory.

Here, %vcs_home% is the default product installation directory, typically C:\Program Files\Veritas\Cluster Server.

Launch the Service Group Configuration Wizard (Tools > Configuration Wizard) from the Cluster Manager (Java Console) and use these templates to configure the respective application service groups.

The following topic describe how to configure an MSMQ service group using the MSMQ Configuration Wizard. You can use the MSMQ Configuration Wizard to configure a service group for MSMQ that is installed in Active Directory or in Workgroup mode. Symantec recommends that you use the MSMQ Configuration Wizard to create the MSMQ resource and other resources that it depends upon.

Make sure that you review the resource types and attribute definitions of the MSMQ agent in the Cluster Server Bundled Agents Reference Guide.

Note:

VCS agent for MSMQ is supported only on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012. You cannot configure MSMQ on systems running Windows Server 2012 R2.

Note:

Cluster support for MSMQ triggers is not available in this release. In domain mode MSMQ installation, if Routing Support is selected while installing MSMQ, it is not supported.
