Leon, I didn't keep your original email, but in the scenario you describe below there shouldn't be a problem with messages stuck on the SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE. When the system comes up on the new hardware, it is effectively the same queue manager and therefore all outbound communications should be able to continue. Inbound channels will not start because of the IP address change, but altering your cluster receiver channel and adding the new connection name should sort that out.

Yes, a Hardware Cluster of some sort will ressolve this problem. We have opted against using Hardware Clustering. I want to identify a way of alleviating the risk of loss of data when a hardware failure occurs on a cluster qm node. At present we will have the queue manager variables [/qmgrs and /logs] on a shared RAIDed drive, so that the queue manager can be brought up on a different hardware when failure occurs. Within a clustered environment I forsee several problems with doing this. The biggest is the IP address of the newly regenerated cluster queue manager and its expected ip address in the repository. Given this scenario, and the one described in the original email, what can i do to free up the messages that could potentially be marooned on the SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE. All comments are appreciated. Leon __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
