Suspending the cluster membership of a queue manager

If a queue manager is a member of a cluster but you want to temporarily prevent the queue manager sharing its cluster queues and exchanging messages using the cluster, you can use IBM® MQ Explorer to suspend the queue manager from the cluster. You can later easily resume the queue manager's membership of the cluster.

Procedure

To suspend a queue manager from a cluster, in the Navigator view (in the Queue Manager Clusters folder), right-click the queue manager, and then click Suspend cluster membership....

The queue manager is suspended from the cluster and its icon is decorated to show this.

To suspend a queue manager without using IBM MQ Explorer, in IBM Documentation see Suspend Cluster Queue Manager (SPDMQMCLQM) for IBM i, and SUSPEND QMGR (suspend a cluster queue manager) for other platforms.
