Active/Active Pairs

To configure active/active high-availability (HA) redundancy on a pair of Solace PubSub+ appliances, the following tasks must be performed.

The following command sequence examples assume that the Message VPNs blue and red have already been created, and that the client username account named default belongs to Message VPNs blue and red. It doesn't show how to configure these items; for examples on how to configure them, refer to Configuring Message VPNs and Client Username Configuration.

The following table specifies the required configuration parameter matches for one appliance and its mate for active/active redundancy.
