Removing a queue manager from a cluster
If you no longer want a queue manager to be a member of a cluster, we can remove the queue manager from the cluster.
About this task
When you remove the queue manager from the cluster using IBM MQ Explorer, the queue manager's properties are updated; the table on the Cluster page of the queue manager's properties dialog is updated, and if the queue manager was a full repository for the cluster, the attributes on the Repository page of the queue manager's properties dialog are also updated.
When you remove a queue manager from a cluster, the queue manager's cluster queues and cluster channels are no longer available to applications using the cluster.
Note that if the queue manager belongs to more than one cluster (using namelists), we cannot remove a queue manager from a cluster using the following instructions; you must manually edit the queue manager's properties.
To remove a queue manager from a cluster:
Procedure
- In the Navigator view (in the Queue Manager Clusters folder), expand the cluster from which the queue manager is currently suspended.
- Right-click the queue manager, the click Remove queue manager from cluster...
- When you are prompted, click Yes.
Results
The queue manager is removed from the cluster and the queue manager's properties are updated.
