Error description

  • Upon creating the active instance of a queue manager it fails
to start, the following error is produced:

AMQ6245: Error executing system call 'CreateFile' on file
'\\server\mqdata\qmgrs\QM1\amqprobe.amq' error '1337'.
AMQ7001: The location specified for the queue manager is not
valid.

The Microsoft error correlates to the following:

ERROR_INVALID_SID
 1337 (0x539)
 The security ID structure is invalid.

The strmqm command was able to read a file from the directory
'\\server\mqdata\qmgrs\QM1\qm.ini'; However, it
failed when it did a CreateFile
'\\server\mqdata\qmgrs\QM1\amqprobe.amq'. You
have the security rights needed to perform this operation;
furthermore, an MQ trace of the issue may yield similar results
to:
.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
USERS AFFECTED:
Users creating multi-instance queue managers on MQ V8 on Windows
platform. The problem is seen with some NAS storage
configurations (which restricts local users in the access
control list (ACL) set for the files and directories) when used
as the shared storage for storing the queue manager data and
logs.


Platforms affected:
Windows

****************************************************************
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
If queue manager is created with -ar option then the local mqm
group is not granted access on the queue manager data files.
However, in this case the ACL set for the queue manager process
handle still incorrectly included the permission for the local
mqm group and hence the queue manager processes were unable to
access the queue manager data files.

For the same reason the commands such as addmqinf , dltmqm also
failed.

Problem conclusion

  • The problem has been addressed by removing the local mqm group
permissions set on the queue manager process handle.
