NO-JIRA: HA updated queue replication section of qpid C++ book.
- Added information needed to use HA queue replication as a replacement for old async queue state replication. - Updated links in README-HA.txt to point to (as yet non-existent) 0.22 documentation. git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/trunk/qpid@1483957 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68

+ <title>Work around for fail-over of replica queue in a cluster</title>
+ <para>
+ When a primary broker fails the cluster resource manager calls a script
+ to promote a backup broker to be the new primary. By default this script
+ is <filename>/etc/init.d/qpidd-primary</filename> but you can modify
+ that in your <filename>cluster.conf</filename> file (see <xref
+ linkend="ha-rm-config"/>.)
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ You can modify this script (on each host in your cluster) by adding
+ commands to create your replica queues just before the broker is
+ promoted, as indicated in the following exceprt from the script:
+ <programlisting>
+start() {
+ service qpidd start
+ echo -n $"Promoting qpid daemon to cluster primary: "
+ ################################
+ #### Add your commands here ####
+ ################################
+ $QPID_HA -b localhost:$QPID_PORT promote
+ [ "$?" -eq 0 ] &amp;&amp; success || failure
+}
+ </programlisting>
+ Your commands will be run, and your replicas created, whenever
+ the system fails over to a new primary.
