MQ V6 on Windows 2003. For testing disaster recovery, I created a QMGR, put some msgs on a queue. I then shut down this QMGR. I then created a QMGR with the same name on a different server and pointed to the Windows file system that I used to create the first QMGR. When I try to start MQSeries as a service on the second server I get this msg. (I mapped the drive to the second server - do I need to present it as a mirrored SAN drive rather?). Is this allowed?

SAN might be easier but it does "work" your way - did it myself a couple of times. Some obvious restrictions with the method of course.

Are you sure you mapped the queue files and the logs to the other machine?

You may not have mapped the drive in a way that was visible to the windows 'shell' that the IBM MQSeries Service runs the qmgr under.

Where can I find more info on the correct format for the mapping for the 'shell' ?

It's not a matter of a "format".

It's just that not all drive maps are globally visible. If you make a drive mapping as one user, it may not be visible to another user and it may not be visible when the first user logs out.

Try creating the mapping by logging in as the local administrator and then stopping the IBM MQSeries Service entirely. The mapping might be visible when you start the IBM MQSeries service, and thus visible to the queue managers.

Or at least make sure that the queue manager is NOT set to start up automatically, and make sure you have created the drive mapping before you run strmqm - and *do* run strmqm and not amqmdain.
