Suspending the cluster membership of a queue manager

If a queue manager is a member of a cluster but you want to temporarily prevent the queue manager sharing its cluster queues and exchanging messages using the cluster, we can suspend the queue manager from the cluster. We can later easily resume the queue manager's membership of the cluster.

To suspend a queue manager without using IBM MQ Explorer, see Suspend Cluster Queue Manager (SPDMQMCLQM) in the IBM MQ online product documentation.

To suspend a queue manager from a cluster, in the Navigator view (in the Queue Manager Clusters folder), right-click the queue manager, and then click Suspend cluster membership....

The queue manager is suspended from the cluster and its icon is decorated to show this.

For more information, see Distributed queuing and clusters in the IBM MQ online product documentation.
