Starting a multi-instance queue manager

You can start a multi-instance queue manager in two ways from a local queue manager in the IBM® MQ Explorer.

As a single-instance queue manager: Do not check the Permit a standby instance check box.
As a multi-instance queue manager: Start the first instance, checking the Permit a standby instance check box, then start the second instance, also checking the Permit a standby instance check box.

Note: You cannot use a remotely connected queue manager to start a multi-instance queue manager.
