Hi

I have a MQ Server version 7.5.0.7(Linux) and I am trying to start a queue manager(QMBMST) with: strmqm QMBMST, but every time I try to do that it shows me an error that says:

"AMQ6237: File '/qm.ini' missing.
AMQ7001: The location specified for the queue manager is not
valid."

I investigated this error code and it says that the solution for this is to manually update the /var/mqm/mqs.ini to include the HACMP queue manager configuration stanza. But I have no idea how to do this.

Thanks in advance

HACMP is not used on Linux.

Is this a HA or MI cluster of some kind? If so check out the dspmqinf and addmqinf commands.

Is there a stanza in /var/mqm/mqs.ini for the qmgr?
The Directory and Prefix / DataPath settings indicate where the qmgr's directory will be. There must be a valid qm.ini file that directory.

eg.
QueueManager:
Name=MQGLENN1
Prefix=/var/mqm
Directory=MQGLENN1
InstallationName=Installation1

File is /var/mqm/qmgrs/MQGLENN1/qm.ini

If the file is not there, you make need to restore from backup, or recreate the qmgr. This file should not ever go missing!

To add in some information, at least for other users.

With a multi-instance queue manager, all of the information about the queue manager (including messages) is mounted on disk that is active on both machines hosting the MI queue manager.

With a more traditional HA queue manager, all of the information about the queue manage (including messages) is mounted on disk that is only active on one machine at a time.

Shared disk versus non-shared disk.

If you have configured both machines such that the type of queue manager - MI or not - is using the wrong disk (non-shared for MI, shared for HA), then it won't work.

And you could see failures saying that the qm.ini doesn't exist.

Hi

The stanza was indeed on the path /var/mqm/mqs.ini

Thanks for your help

mqs.ini might might be pointing to a qmgr's data path that is not currently online (eg. passive node of HA clustered qmgr, MIQM shared nfs failure). dspmq command should show the qmgr as STATUS(Status not available).
