Removing a queue manager from MSCS control

 

We can remove queue managers from MSCS control, and return them to manual administration. You do not need to do this for maintenance operations. You can do that by taking a queue manager offline temporarily, using the MSCS Cluster Administrator. Removing a queue manager from MSCS control is a more permanent change; only do it if you decide that you no longer want MSCS to have any further control of the queue manager.

If the queue manager being removed uses SSL connections modify the queue manager attribute, SSLKEYR, using the WebSphere MQ Explorer or the MQSC command ALTER QMGR, to point to the SSL key repository file on the local directory.

The procedure is:

1. Take the queue manager resource offline using the MSCS Cluster Administrator. To do this, see Taking a queue manager offline from MSCS.

2. Destroy the resource instance. This does not destroy the queue manager.

3. Optionally, migrate the queue manager files back from shared drives to local drives. To do this, see Returning a queue manager from MSCS storage.

4. Test the queue manager.
