COLD STORAGE

When the QM has ended abnormally, or When the server got rebooted abnormally due to
server problem.
Once the server is back and we tried to start the QM , it will throw an error like “ logs not
available”.
To overcome this, we have the concept of cold recovery.
In cold recovery, we will create a duplicate QM with the exact configuration of the QM
which we got the isuue with.
Later, we will exachange this info to the previous QM and will delete the dummy/duplicate
QM.

This process is called cold restart.

Steps:
1. Go to prgmdata/IBM/MQ/qmgrs/QM1/qm.ini
2. Open qm.ini and see the config
3. Create the duplicate QM with the same config as in step-2
4. Example - Crtmqm -lc -lp 2 -ls 3 -lf 4096 QM1
5. Don’t start the duplicate QM.
6. Go to prgmdata/IBM/MQ/log/QM1/archieves - move to some other place
7. Go to prgmdata/IBM/MQ/log/QM1_duplicate/archieves – copy and paste in step-7
8. Now start QM1
9. Delete QM1_duplicate.
