I want to move my Queue Manager logs on my AIX platform. Here is what I thought I would need to do:
1. Shut QMGR down.
2. Copy files from existing location /var/mqm/log/<QMGR>/ to my new location /mqlogs.
3. Edit /var/mqm/qmgrs/<QMGR>/qm.ini to reflect the new location.
4. Restart the queue manager.
Location /mqlogs would contain file amqhlctl.lfh and folder active, together with all the logs in this folder, copied from the old location.
Have I missed anything ? |

Yes. Don't do this.
there's a command called hamvmqm, use it. (search this forum, or the manual, to see how it works) |

Maybe this question is a bit ignorant but why would you use hamvmqm if you don't implement HACMP?
pfarrel's steps don't look wrong to me. |

I agree, his steps seem right on. However, I always prefer using a built-in command rather than editing files...
A good question would be - does hamvmqm do anything except move the logs (this command is so poorly documented, no official answer) - I don't think it does, so why not use it?
You know what, I take it all back, he should probably do it his way, it's safest. Sorry  |

My platform is AIX ( UNIX ).
Will hamvmqm work on AIX ? It looks like a Windows type of command. |

Well I agree completely with you... Always prefer build in commands.

Maybe one of our IBM friends can comment on what hamvmqm is doing?!  |

1. Shut QMGR down.

3. Edit /var/mqm/qmgrs/<QMGR>/qm.ini to reflect the new location.
4. Restart the queue manager. |
I would add:
0. back everytinhg up (saveqmgr + amqoamd)
2a. give mqm ownership to /mqlogs.
afaik hamvmqm is a windows command, I don't see it on my linux or aix systems here ....

Why move them? Just define /var/mqm/log as a filesystem.

Yes yes, it's a windows-only command... I already admitted error, what do you want me to do, bleed?  |
