Is this the same environment you described here?

Have you tried the -e parameter with 2 quotes and no quotes?
The posted example has 1

| Code: |
| -e C:\MQDisk\Broker\Workspace |
seems an odd path for shared data. I might expect that for a workpath local i.e. -w flag...

Let me try this!
Thanks |
You should make sure that the path is actually a valid Windows path - for example that it has the right number of \ in the right places.
You should make sure you know what -e should point to and that you know what -w should point to, and not just switch between them willy-nilly. |

| I think you have to fail it over before you add it (so the path is valid). Did you do that? |

The shared path is really strange.
C:\....
Is not normally on a shared drive in windows terms. This is rather strange.
The other thing to consider is how the broker was created in the first place.
If this is not done 100% right the second instance won't run.
It is very easy to get things wrong here. I went through all this (with much contact admin of teeth) a year ago. If you go back through the posts on the Broker forum then you will find a couple of threads started by me on this very subject.
It might be worth your while reading them

Yes, for adding Broker instance to the other node, i have switched it over to the second node.
I am able to add broker instance into the second node. I had to stop QM endmqm -i QMName, and the restart it with strmqm -si QMName. |

You should not have to start the QM in interactive mode. What happens if you start it using the MSCS cluster facilities? There could be a problem with the group membership of your service users. What did you set up?

When i try to start or stop QM from the MSCS cluster manager, it works fine. I can start and stop QM with out any problem. Also, when i switch between cluster nodes, i couls do that with out any problem with QM.
The problem is with Broker. It is not starting and stopping with MSCS cluster service. Moreover, during node switch, broker service fails and broker does not start:( |

All your service users are domain users yes?

May help you out.
Don't add the broker as a MSCS resource until it works manually on both nodes.
When you do you have to make the broker dependent on the QMGR resouce. This way the starting and stopping of everything is nicely synchronised.
