Issue

  • How to configure active/passive mode in JBoss EAP 6/7 High Availability cluster?
  • Is it possible in active/passive mode to start a passive cluster automatically when the active cluster is down?

Resolution

  • Refer to JBoss EAP 6 Clustering to get details about Clustering in EAP 6. For active/passive review in EAP 7 referes to JBoss EAP 7 clustering configuration guide.
  • Active/Passive mode means the load balancer will control the traffic flow while the active & passive clusters are both up at the same time. There is no way to start the passive cluster automatically when the active cluster is down, you have to start a passive cluster manually.
