Forcing unwanted queue managers to leave a cluster
Force an unwanted queue manager to leave a cluster by issuing the RESET CLUSTER
command at a full repository queue manager.
About this task
You can force an unwanted queue manager to leave a cluster. If for example, a queue manager is deleted but its cluster-receiver channels are still defined to the cluster. You might want to tidy up.
Only full repository queue managers are authorized to eject a queue manager from a cluster.
Note: Although using the RESET CLUSTER command forcibly removes a queue manager from a cluster, the use of RESET CLUSTER by itself does not prevent the queue manager rejoining the cluster later. To ensure that the queue manager does not rejoin the cluster, follow the steps detailed in Preventing queue managers joining a cluster.

Results
The queue manager that is force removed does not change; its local cluster definitions show it to be in the cluster. The definitions at all other queue managers do not show it in the cluster.
