    I'm getting following error while creating QM on Node-1 on Primary region. I'm able to create QMs on Node-2 and Node-3 on both Primary and DR region. 

    But, when i try to create same QMs on Primary nodes of both Primary and DR region, getting same error as follows.

    Creating replicated data queue manager configuration.

    AMQ3820E: Device '/dev/drbd/by-res/drhaqm1/0' not available after '10' seconds.

    AMQ3812E: Failed to create replicated data queue manager configuration.

    Is this issue related to DRBD Pool on RHEL 9? Using following DRBD kernel module

    Advanced/RDQM/PreReqs/el9/kmod-drbd-9/kmod-drbd-9.2.7+ptf.14.gdc5453714_5.14.0_362.18.1-1.x86_64.rpm

    Any suggestions on which areas to investigate? 

    Thanks,

    Purush

    This usually indicates a network connectivity issue. Check the TCP connectivity between the three replication IP addresses.

    If you are using the standard RHEL firewall, there is a script that is supplied with MQ that will open up the default ports required by RDQM. You can find details in the "System requirements" section at https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.3?topic=availability-requirements-rdqm-ha-solution

    If you are using a different firewall, you will have to do something equivalent.

    Hi Purush,

    Further to John's reply, I would also check that the DRBD kernel module is loaded correctly in case that is why the DRBD device is not available. You can check this by using the rdqmstatus command without any parameters. See the following documentation links.

    Thanks for the responses.

    @JOHN COLGRAVE - There's a VPC peering connectivity issue between two regions. Firewall rules are looking good and all required ports are opened up.

    @Jamie Squibb - DRBD kernel modules are loaded without any issues.

    Hi Purush,

    I suggest you open a support case. We can then work with you to gather diagnostics and determine what the problem is.

    Kind regards,

    Jamie

    Hi Purush,

    Did you check that the RHEL kernel level matches the minimum shown for the rdqm module used?

    uname -a or uname -r should give you the info you need to check in the rdqm module compatibility tables published by IBM.

    @Francois Brandelik - Yes.. I'm using compatible module.
