Hi, did you have any luck with this? I'm just setting up a rabbit cluster for my team and I'm running into exactly the same problem. What worries me is that the docs on clustering say that the network connection between nodes <b>must</b> be reliable - I was hoping that a 3 node cluster would continue running if the connection between 2 nodes dropped and then allow the dropped node to join back into the cluster when the connection came back up...?<br><br>Any help appreciated,<br>James<br><br><br><br>On Friday, January 25, 2013 9:52:30 AM UTC, Ben West wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0;margin-left: 0.8ex;border-left: 1px #ccc solid;padding-left: 1ex;">Hi,<br><br><br>I've been having lots of instability problems with a rabbit cluster I have set up.<br>Since deploying Rabbit MQ a few months ago we have experienced ongoing instability with the service.<div><br>Our setup:<br><br><ul><li>RabbitMQ 3.0.1 running on Windows Azure VMs (Server 2012)<br></li><li>We have 2 VMs set up with a rabbit running on each and clustered (with a HA policy), both running as disk nodes<br></li><li>Using EasyNetQ for producers consumers</li></ul><br>When I first set up the cluster everything seems to be running well and can see through the Rabbit console the HA mirroring is all set up.</div><div><br>However after a couple of days I will log into the console and find the cluster is broken, usually with one node saying "Node not running" and a number of the consumers have dropped off the queues.
