Adding a queue manager to a cluster
You can add a queue manager to a cluster as either a full repository or a partial repository.
About this task
This task shows how to add a queue manager to an existing cluster using the Create Cluster wizard in IBM® MQ Explorer. You can use the wizard to add a queue manager, provided that the queue manager does not already belong to another cluster.
Although you can add any queue manager to an existing cluster, even if the queue manager already belongs to another cluster, you cannot use the Create Cluster wizard if the queue manager already belongs to another cluster. You must configure the cluster using MQSC commands.
Before you can add a queue manager to a cluster:
- Create the queue manager.
- The queue manager must have a running listener.
- You must know the connection details of the queue manager because the you are asked to enter these details in the wizard.
