Creating a queue manager cluster
IBM® MQ Explorer treats queue manager clusters as objects so that you can create and administer them like other MQ objects.
About this task
All the queue manager clusters that are known to IBM MQ Explorer are displayed in the Queue Manager Clusters folder.
Before you can create a new queue manager cluster:
- Create two queue managers that will have the full repositories for the cluster.
- Each full repository queue manager in the cluster must have a running listener.
- You must know the connection details of each full repository queue manager in the cluster because you are asked to enter these details in the wizard.
Note: You cannot use the Create Cluster wizard if the full repository queue managers already belong
to another cluster. If you want to use queue managers that already belong to another cluster, you
must configure the cluster using the MQSC commands.
To create a new cluster, complete the following steps.
Procedure
Results
The new cluster is displayed in the Queue Manager Clusters folder. The cluster's full repositories are shown in its Full Repositories folder.
