I have qmgr running from /var/mqm where /var/mqm is a directory
on /var filesystem which has 2 gb of space . I want to move the
qmgr on a separate filesystem /var/mqm with 30gb of space .
now will simply a tar of the existing mqm and then untaring it after the move will work ? or I will have to first remove the qmgr from cluster then
delete it and then recreate it after mounting the new file system ? |

No, you just need to SUSPEND the qmgr from the cluster.
Ensure the qmgr is stopped and all processes related (like listeners) are stopped.
Backup the qmgr definintions (saveqmgr) just in case.
Make sure you preserve the ownership and attributes of all the /var/mqm/ files.

Thanks Wayne for your quick and valuable answer .
just to make sure : when you said NO that was in reference to my question about deleting the qm . correct
i need to
1) suspend the qmanager from cluster
2) run saveqmgr to backup def .
3) stop qmgr and listeners
4) tar the mqm directory and preserve the permissions
5) mount the filesystem
6) untar it
how about the OAM authorizations ? will i lose them ?
I think they should be preserved since they are also stored
within filesystem just like queue objects ? |

Careful here ... in UNIX, the end result is having the qmgr in the SAME directories as before (ie, /var/mqm), just using a different filesystem.
I don't know enought about windows storage mgmt to know whether there is the same concept...but I do you that if you put the mqm runtime files into a DIFFERENT directory, its likely not to work
