Hello,

Is there a way to resize the filesystem in RDQM HA or DR scenario ? I see there is "setmqsize" command for MQ appliance but couldn't find anything for MQ 9.1 installed on RHEL.

On UNIX/Linux systems, the OS disk file systems where MQ data and MQ recovery logs are stored can be resized using the normal OS commands for doing so. This can be done while MQ is running.

OK. just wanted to make sure that those lvm commands are safe to run. RDQM DR is creating multiple logical volumes for the queuemanager. I want to make sure resizing them wont create any issues.

Of course, you will test this process in a TEST environment, yes?

I would be surprised if just changing the size of volumes on disk would be enough. When you create an RDQM you tell it the size of the volume, e.g:-

Code:
crtmqm -sxs -fs 1000M MQG1


If you don't tell it a size, the default value for the -fs flag is 3 Gigabytes (not 3MB as Knowledge Center says!)

I see nothing in Knowledge Center that suggests you can change that size after the queue manager is created.

I will ping a Hursley contact and ask them to have a look at this thread so that you can get a definitive answer.

Cheers,
Morag

Thank you Morag. I also reached out to IBM support with more questions than these but this one is troubling me a lot so posted this question here.

Before I do anything and go through the hassle of recovery. I wanted ask few questions if anyone faced similar issue.

You cannot change the filesystem size for an RDQM.

There is a dedicated logical volume created for each RDQM and the filesystem is automatically created as part of crtmqm to fill the logical volume.

I designed RDQM.

Let me introduce John Colgrave, from IBM Hursley, the lead architect of RDQM. He is the source!

I see. If I find out that logical volume isn't sufficient in future, what's the best way for me to increase the size ? Is it recreating the queue manager again ?

As John indicated the size can not be changed. There is no setmqsize equivalent currently available for RDQM. Hence the option is to backup the QM, recreate and then restore from the backup. The procedure is documented in the following MQ knowledgecenter URLs lately added to the MQ knowledgecenter.

RDQM HA: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSFKSJ_9.1.0/com.ibm.mq.con.doc/q133350_.htm
RDQM DR: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSFKSJ_9.1.0/com.ibm.mq.con.doc/q133360_.htm

Thanks,
mahesh
