We are running MQ V8 on Linux. QM1 is a MI Qmgr.
Our last failover restart of the Qmgr took almost an hour.

The last log in AMQERR01.LOG shows
AMQ7229: 2818260 log records accessed on queue manager 'QMCGWPR1' during the log replay phase.

QM1 is a MI Qmgr and its log config is

Log:
LogPrimaryFiles=30
LogSecondaryFiles=5
LogFilePages=65535
LogType=CIRCULAR
LogBufferPages=0
LogPath=/remote-var/mqm/log/QM1/
LogWriteIntegrity=TripleWrite

This Qmgr is used as a gateway on a big cluster and has no applications running. (i.e. all processes are MQ processes and mostly channel related). There could be a few hundred cluster channel running at any point in time. I do not expect there is any long running transaction. The channel batch size is 50 and all persistent messages.
I am just wondering why it has to access almost 3 million record to restart.

Where should I start to look ?

Location: US: west coast, almost. Otherwise, enroute.

What command did you use to shut the qmgr down?

Look at the curdepth of all the local queues. Look at persistent messages on these queues.

Check your Current and Saved Channel Statuses for any In Doubts.

And if using large persistent messages it's a good idea to keep the batch size down low rather than leave it at the default.

By defining a log with 35 extents, each of 256MB you've allowed the queue manager to need to replay up to almost 9GB at QM restart.
It would be unusual for the queue manager to need to replay more than about 50,000 log records and so either you've got HUGE transactions (your append suggests otherwise), or the checkpoint process in the previously active queue manager had failed in some manner.
Were any FDC's reported on the old active QMgr, in particular any FDC's from either amqzmuc0 or amqzxma0 ?
Have you raised a PMR ?
