Jira High Availability

Sairam Yeturi

We need to implement JIRA High availability on 2 windows server machines. I have not found any relevant blogs to implement the same. Is JIRA high availability feature available with the latest JIRA installer? If yes, can you please share the relevant links.

Atlassian deprecated some of the useful documentation on doing this when Data Centre was made available.

First, JIRA does not cluster. The best you can do for high availability is to have two machines set up with identical versions of JIRA, one being the master which everyone is using. The second one is dormant - JIRA is installed but NOT running on it. It is hooked up to a replicated read-only copy of the database, and the attachments directory is on a shared or replicated drive. When something goes bang, you shut down the master JIRA, break database replication, make the secondary database the master, read/write, start JIRA, kick off a re-index, and tell your network to use that server as the master for now. This is not high-availability to my mind, it's disaster recovery. You can't have two active JIRA servers against one databse.

For proper HA, you need to move to JIRA Data Centre. See https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ENTERPRISE/JIRA+Data+Center

Hi, thanks for the response. This is tedious process, it will be in production and we cannot have disaster recovery method. We will anyways take database backup frequently.. Please let us know the best option. Should we go with single instance of JIRA or should we try Data Centre?

If you go with a single instance, the best you can do is the DR setup described. If you need more than that, then yes, you need Data Centre

I was able to set up two JIRA servers in active-active scenario sharing same home folder and same database. I did not use Data Center - just pacemaker with bunch of other scripts etc...
The only thing Im consern is the license. Is my JIRA software license valid for such a set-up?

BRs,

Piotr
