Cleaning the IBM MQ persistent storage

The IBM® MQ pod has a single persistent volume that is called pv-ftm-mq-storage that stores the queue manager configuration.

The IBM MQ configuration is retained across pod restarts and re-creations. The mount point inside the IBM MQ pod is /mnt.

To clean the queue manager configuration, complete the following steps:
  1. Login to the IBM MQ pod.
  2. Stop the queue manager.
    endmqm FTMQMGR endmqweb FTMQMGR
  3. Clean the contents of this persistent volume.
    rm -rf /mnt/*
  4. Re-create the IBM MQ pod.
