Messaging user repository
Administrators are always defined locally on the appliance and can connect via SSH or WebUI to administer all aspects of the system
Messaging Users may be defined locally or in LDAP repository (choice per QM), and remote applications always connect with these credentials.

• The IBM MQ Appliance supports a number of protocols for message transmission
• Today:– MQ client protocol – for connectivity from applications
•Client libraries available in the usual places, not shipped with the appliance– MQ server protocol – for connectivity with other queue managers
•This will support sender-receiver channels and server-requester channels, including cluster flows
• Subject to customer interest we may add further protocols such as– MQTT – for internet of things and mobile/web messaging– AMQP – for MQ Light API client connectivity

HA – When things go wrong
23
DR ReplicationAsynchronous(10 Gb Ethernet)
• New function in 8.0.0.4 update• Provides for longer distance recovery
than HA• e.g. Out Of Region standby site
• Still ultimately requires high bandwidth connectivity as all persistent data fully mirrored
• But - asynchronous so better choice than HA for higher latency, ‘bursty’ or ‘lossy’ networks)
• Also means most recent messages are potentially lost on failover, and application logic must consider
• Manual interaction required to trigger failover/fail back.
Disaster Recovery
24
Disaster Recovery – Flexible topologies
Production appliance
Off-site DR appliance
Asynchronous replication
Flexible Config•As with HA, configuration is per queue manager – though with DR there is no concept of a ‘group’.•Each QM independently configures replication to a particular appliance.•E.g. could configure single ‘DR’ site covering live appliances at multiple sites

Monitoring MQ on the appliance
Typically, third party (or other IBM product) tooling will already support MQ appliance queue managers without changes.
This image shows Tivoli Remote Agent displaying queue and channel information from an appliance queue manager.
Various third party vendors have already explicitly confirmed support (check with vendor for specific product information).
But there are also appliance specific features…27

Monitoring applications
Classic use cases for dedicated/specialised exit code is addressed by enhanced application ‘activity trace’ – dynamic publish subscribe API for inspection of application MQ activity.
Which applications make use of which resources (e.g. queues)
What is coming in off this set of channels right now?
How can I keep an audit log of all messages put by a particular
application?

The IBM MQ Appliance is available in two models, to suit a range of performance and capacity requirements– They’re not sold on a PVU basis – but approximately 420 & 1400 PVU
• Appliance is dedicated to running messaging server workload– No other workload (applications or middleware) – Performance should be predictable– Capacity planning should be easier
• Firmware comes pre-tuned for maximum messaging performance– Placement of workload, resource utilisation, etc.
• Performance report MPA1 now available – Based on firmware level 8.0.0.3, – Includes scenario driven examples and M2000A/B comparisons.
• Performance report MPA2 now available – HA and DR, including over increased latency connections
