    Hi Vijay,

    RDQM supports three different configurations, so you will first need to decide which configuration you would like to deploy:

    - A 3-node high availability configuration (automatic failover and synchronous replication between nodes)
    - A 2-node disaster recovery configuration (manual failover, and either synchronous or asynchronous replication between nodes)
    - A 6-node high availability and disaster recovery configuration (DR between two 3-node HA groups). For this option, each HA group is as per the 3-node configuration, with automatic failover and synchronous replication, plus there is asynchronous replication and manual failover for DR between the two HA groups).

    Please see the following topics in our product documentation as a starting point. The topics for HA, DR or HA+DR each contain sections for their specific system requirements and setup steps.

    Thanks @Om prakash!! 

    Configure an HA group on the 'main' site

    Is it correct link to configure HA Group on main site and recovery site ? 

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/mq-appliance/9.1?topic=availability-configuring-high-group

    Also, I am using following 3 node configuration 

    16 GB RAM, 45 GB disk, 10 GB shared disks among three node.. 

    is it sufficient to install and create setup? +

    Performed. Following steps 

    1) downlaoded MQServer 9.3.3.0 on rhel9

    2) installed all rpms on all 3 nodes 

    3) created shared mount point for data and log

    4) Created QM, started and stoped QM 

    5) added info to queqe manager

    Using. /addmqinfo

    6) check stop/start works fine for QM1

    Need to know is it correct way to configure RDQM Prerequisites? 

    Thanks!!!

    Follow the steps as mentioned - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.3?topic=multiplatforms-installing-rdqm-replicated-data-queue-managers

    U wil need few other packages like DRBD, Pacemaker etc..

    Ensure u identify your HA, DR IPs else u will have issue.

    Also it needs root access; so the id running wil need elevated access.
