Hi I have two AIX servers SERV1,SERV2
Target is To Recover the QueManager from the File system.
So copied required file system from one Sever to Other and try to start to recover the Queue Manager from the other Server.Here is the information.
--------- SERV1 ---------------------- SERV2
MQ ---- 530.13 ------------------------- 6.0.2.0
QMGR --- Q1 -------------------------- Q2
I copied the (1)var/mqm/qmgrs/QM!1 ,
(2) var/mqm/log/QM!1 to the SERV2.
I added to the (3)mqs.ini on SERV2 with the information that has in mqs.in on SERV1 relating to the Q1.
I did dspmq on SERV2.I was able to see Q1(Ended unexpectedly).I try to start it strmqm Q1.
WebSphere MQ queue manager 'QM.1' starting.
AMQ5615: Default objects cannot be created: CompCode = 2 Reason = 2059.
which is Q_MGR_NOT_AVAILABLE.
Can any one tell me what wrong I did. Do I need to any thing more
Thanks In Advance

| Use MO71 to backup and restore your Queue Manager.. |

| I am not sure if this can be done. When you have two different versions, then there is a chance that it won't work. What you can try is to copy the /var/mqm and then try installing MQ6 and see if that will work. |

Also (as has been discussed before) the queue manager needs to be down before doing the copy, or the files will be inconsistant. Assuming this does work 5.3 -> 6.0..... 
But copying the file system is not the best way of backing up / recovering a queue manager. Browse the forum & you'll see a lot of discussion on the various methods available.

Hi
AFAIK its not possible...
The queue managers wont work ,
you have to re-create the queue managers, and objects
take a backup of the objects using saveqmgr tool and re-create it
meanwhile
you can just give a try
strmqm -c <QMGR_NAME> after this start the queue manager
Thanks and Regards

There's an entire chapter in the systems administration manual on backup and recovery.
Backing up a v5.3 and then restoring it onto a v6 should work, as it will be treated like a migrated queue manager.
Backing up a v6 and then restoring it onto a v5.3 should not work.
Also, be clear on what you're actually trying to backup and recover. Is it messages? Is it qmgr configuration? Are you trying to implement your own HA environment?

Hi
Jeff, here i think Trainee installed MQ 6.0.2.0 on Server 2 and manually copied the directories (/var/mqm/) to the server 2 and tried to start it
So we cant say that is a migration here.
Please make me clear if its wrong...
Thanks and Regards

Which seems pretty conclusive to me

I'm guessing here, really.
And I'm assuming a correct backup/restore.

I try to start queue manager with -c option it didn't work for me and gave the same error like earlier.
We don't have any HA.This is test environment we want to test backup/recovery on SIT.
I copied the var/mqm/qmgrs, var/mqm/log from the server where I have MQ 5.3 to the Server where I have MQ 6.0 manually using scp command.
I am trying to recover messages and QueueManager( including objects) on different server.
I would like to know what wrong I did. or Am I missing something essential.
Thanks for all replies
