Preparing for recovery on an alternative site

If a total loss of an IBM® MQ computing center, you can recover on another IBM MQ system at a recovery site.

To recover an IBM MQ system at a recovery site, you must regularly back up the page sets and the logs. As with all data recovery operations, the objectives of disaster recovery are to lose as little data, workload processing (updates), and time as possible.

At the recovery site:

The recovery IBM MQ queue manager must have the same name as the lost queue manager.
Ensure the system parameter module used on the recovery queue manager contains the same parameters as the lost queue manager.

The process for disaster recovery is described in the Administering IBM MQ for z/OS®.
