Delete a multi-instance queue manager

The IBM MQ Explorer does not provide a means to delete all the instances of a multi-instance queue manager.

To delete a multi-instance queue manager, we should delete the queue manager from one server, and then use the rmvmqinf command to remove the queue manager definitions from other servers.

For more information, see Multi-instance queue managers.

Note: If you delete the queue manager again, but on another server that has the same queue manager defined, the dltmqm command fails. If you do try to delete a queue manager on a server that had a queue manager definition, but no queue manager, delete the queue manager again on the same server, and the queue manager is completely removed.
