<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the reply Arun,<div><br></div><div>Your scenario is similar to mine, and using multiple clusters is hopefully in our future. The difference is that I'm trying to achieve it with haproxy, rather than a dedicated load balancer like F5. My haproxy experience is limited so I'm hoping somebody has done something like that and can point me in a general direction.</div>

During maintenance, I take one cluster completely out of rotation and wait for the traffic to switch over to other clusters. After an hour or so, there are still few connections left behind because the active connections dont switch over so I do a restart of the cluster I took out of rotation. When you do the restart of the cluster, there should be no pending messages in the cluster so ideally you would want to find out the clients connected to this cluster and restart them so they connect to the cluster you are wanting to connect.</div>

<br></div><div>I'm looking for advice on how to best move client traffic from one RabbitMQ cluster to another without service interruption. I suspect it can be done with HA-proxy, but I can't figure out the steps. I'm open to other ideas as well.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Scenario: We have a 2-node cluster with all queues mirrored. Let's say it's running RabbitMQ 3.2.2. Clients connect to this cluster through a VIP maintained by keepalived on both RabbitMQ hosts.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We now want to move to a different identical cluster, but running 3.3.1. I'm thinking I can bring up this new cluster "side-by-side" with the old cluster, such that they're running concurrently. All new connections would go to the new cluster, while already established connections to the 3.2.2 cluster will remain alive and working, until all clients have eventually connected to the new cluster. At that point the 3.2.2 cluster can be shut down.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have a hunch I can put HA-proxy in front of both clusters, and though live configuration changes have it migrate the traffic to the new cluster while leaving existing cluster connections alone. What I don't know is the commands/configuration options/steps to implement it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thoughts and guidance on how to best do this?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Matt</div></div>
