Starting the WebSphere MQ Queue Manager instance outside a cluster

If you face problems while working with a resource, you must disable the resource within the cluster framework. A disabled resource is not under the control of the cluster framework, and so you can test the WebSphere MQ Queue Manager instance independent of the cluster framework. Refer to the cluster documentation for information about disabling a resource.

You can then restart the WebSphere MQ Queue Manager instance outside the cluster framework.

Note:

Use the same parameters that the resource attributes define within the cluster framework while restarting the resource outside the cluster framework.

A sample procedure to start a WebSphere MQ instance outside the cluster framework, is illustrated as follows.

To restart the WebSphere MQ Queue Manager outside the framework

  1. Log in to the WebSphere MQ Queue Manager as an MQUser.
    # su - MQUser
  2. Start the WebSphere MQ Queue Manager.
    # strmqm QueueManagerName

    If the WebSphere MQ Queue Manager works properly outside the cluster framework, you can then attempt to implement the Queue Manager within the cluster framework.
