Stopping a multi-instance queue manager

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

Stop all instances of the queue manager
Do not check the Allow switchover to standby instance check box.
Stop this instance of the queue manager, switching over to a standby instance
Check the Allow switchover to standby instance check box. If there is no standby instance running the command fails and leaves the queue manager running.
Note: You cannot use a remotely connected queue manager to stop a multi-instance queue manager.
