How to Configure TIBCO Enterprise Message Service with Fault Tolerance on Amazon AWS

The purpose of the document is to provide a guide to install, configure, and run TIBCO Enterprise Message Service? (EMS) in a fault-tolerant configuration on Amazon AWS with RedHat or Amazon Linux. In addition, the document will provide the steps and expected results for testing EMS F/T using AWS?s Elastic File System (EFS) for shared storage.

The document will outline:

• Setting up Red Hat Linux EC2 instances on AWS
• Setting up EFS for the shared file system in AWS
• Setting up the NFS4 mount on the Red Hat Linux EC2 instance
• Setting up the Amazon Linux2 EC2 instance to support TLS tunneling when mounting the EFS file system  
• Installing and configuring EMS for F/T
• Tuning EMS for AWS/EFS

Running tests for:

• EMS process failure
• Network failure between the EC2 instance running EMS and the shared storage
• Accidental reboot of the EC2 instance from the AWS Dashboard
