				Hi All,
 
 
My requirement is to create a new Production server B using the existing Production server A. Version of MQ is 6.0.2. OS is RHEL-64 bit.
 
 
I had created QM and had run the MQ script file of old QM. I am trying to compare both servers.
 
 
"qmstatus.ini" file on server A
 
 
AuthorityData:
 
   Creator=mqm
 
QueueManagerStatus:
 
   CmdSvrStatus=Running
 
   CurrentStatus=Running
 
ManagedSets:
 
   QMNAME.ZDMPipe=10016
 
   QMNAME.OAMshmem=24704
 
   QMNAME.OAMPipe=10016
 
   QMNAME.KernelSet=4751688
 
   QMNAME.ObjectCatalogue=712912
 
   QMNAME.QueueSessionSegment=1124840
 
   QMNAME.TransactionSessionSegment=204504
 
   QMNAME/@ipcc.IPCCPSet=19632
 
   QMNAME/@ipcc.IPCCP64S=127696
 
GhostPools:
 
   SYSTEM.DEFAULT.MODEL.QUEUE=10
 
 
 
"qmstatus.ini" file on server B(configuration should be completely identical as existing "server A")
 
AuthorityData:
 
   Creator=mqm
 
QueueManagerStatus:
 
   CmdSvrStatus=Running
 
   CurrentStatus=Running
 
ManagedSets:
 
   QMNAME.TransactionSessionSegment=197248
 
   QMNAME.QueueSessionSegment=915832
 
   QMNAME.ObjectCatalogue=614488
 
   QMNAME.KernelSet=4751688
 
   QMNAME.OAMPipe=10016
 
   QMNAME.OAMshmem=23816
 
   QMNAME/@ipcc.IPCCP64S=22664
 
   QMNAME/@ipcc.IPCCPSet=19632
 
 
 
 
 
1) I can observe a few changes in the parameter values under "ManagedSets". 
 
All the properties that are in BOLD are differing with the new replica.
 
 
2) From the list of running QMNAME processes, the below mentioned process is not running on the new server B
 
 
mqm      20358  2934  0 Jul30 ?        00:00:42 amqzlaa0 -mQMNAME -fip37
 
 
 
Is there any way to do these necessary changes for making the newly created server B identical with existing server A ?
 
 
 
Thanks in advance,

				compared the qm.ini  &  mqs.ini  files on both the servers with their counter-parts.
 
 
They are identical. |

				Server A could be a older sever with a different series and hardware.And also might have some values differently set.
 
 
Regarding amqzlaa0 process. Please check the FDC's generated and Qmgr logs to see what could be wrong. _________________ *forgetting everything  * |

server B : Linux 2.6.9-78.ELsmp #1 SMP  x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Currently, There are no FDC files generated under "/var/mqm/errors"  (the steps performed after MQ installation were creating QM and its sub-components)
 
I had checked the AMQ* files(they are not showing any specific reason). |

I agree with you. But, still I want to make these 2 servers identical(if possible, by doing any changes)
 
 
Is it OK if I do the below changes on the qmstatus.ini file and then Go for a MQ restart. Will the changes affect ?
 
 
1)change the values of ManagedSets rightaway ? I suppose they are referring to memory size.
 
 
2) Adding a Managed Set 
 
QMNAME.ZDMPipe=10016
 
 
3)Add the GhostPools: 
 
SYSTEM.DEFAULT.MODEL.QUEUE=10 
 
 
 
Any idea on the additional process "amqzlaa0 -mQMNAME -fip37" (I couldn't find relevant info from help. can someone provide me any web link which will help me in this regard) |

				don't fiddle with undocumented settings you do not understand
 
 
you asked a dumb question and you got a sensible answer which is more than you deserved
 
 
if you look closely you will see that there is indeed an amqzlaa0 process running in the process set |

				Yeah.. that was, but sometimes even I feel that u need to receive a nice whack from your mentors every now and then, to keep u up and running.. (offcourse, same does not apply to some Tom, Dick and Harry       ) _________________ *forgetting everything  * |
