HP ServiceGuard & ActiveMQ failover

Does anybody has experience using HP ServiceGuard package failover to provide
HA?
I would like to use it instead of a Master/Slave configuration. 
It seems to me that both configuration should be roughlty equivalent (with
Master/Slave probably being faster to failover).

Any remark/advice on that configuration? 
Thanks,

Aymeric

Sounds fine then.

Basically you run your application on a virtual host. If the host fails, the
virtual host is brought down and restarted on a different hardware. Since
it's HA, all information from the filesystem are preserved and the new host
assumes the role of the old one (same ip, ...).

It seems to me that it's roughtly equivalent to Master/Slave. Just easier in
our case to configure as we do it for several other apps already.

Thanks,

Aymeric.

I don't know the HP product well but from a glance at their site it
looks like its mostly a HA storage system right? If thats the case you
could use the shared file based master/slave (and let the ActiveMQ
clients do their automatic failover from master to slave).
