Expecting the file qm.ini under a "qmgrs" directory when using the -md DataPath parameter for crtmqm when creating an IBM MQ multi-instance queue manager

Troubleshooting


Problem

You have created an IBM MQ multi-instance queue manager using the following template: 
  crtmqm –md /MQHA/QMGRNAME/data –ld /MQHA/QMGRNAME/log  QMGRNAME 
.
You customized it and provide the name of the queue manager, such as QM1:
  crtmqm –md /MQHA/QM1/data –ld /MQHA/QM1/log QM1 
.
You noticed that the resulting qm.ini for QM1 is created under the following directory structure: 
  /MQHA/QM1/data/QM1/qm.ini 
.
However, you have scripts that navigate the directory structure and look for the subdirectory "qmgrs", such as in the following default structure: 
  /var/mqm/qmgrs/QM1/qm.ini
.
Question: is it necessary to use “qmgrs” in the path for the data?
