Erik Klemetti Hi all, Thanks for all the responses,
This is not a "Real" problem since the failover works. But I was concerned when failing over didn't stop the MQSeries Service as I expected, because this could be a sign of some not to obvious problem that I migth encounter down the line.
Anyway I have recived several answers saying that this is happening to a lot of folks and there is no problem.
Best regards Erik
Hi Erik,
I only have MQ 5.2 running on the MSCS cluster, not 5.3. So may be there are some differences. However, I don't understand why you concern about the MQSeries services running on the failing node. Is there a problem?
When MSCS cluster vary off the qmgr from the failing node and bring up the qmgr from the standby node, the MQ services are always running and both nodes and it won't be brought down. So in my case I have 1 active and 1 passive node and the MQ services are running on both nodes all the time. Only the qmgr is running on 1 node. This is the same when you have a standalone PC installed with MQ. If you don't have qmgr running, you still have the MQ services running during start up. In my case, I have 3 processes running, amqsvc (MQ services process), amqmsrvn (DCOM) and amqmtbrn (task bar icon for MQ services) when no qmgr is up.
BTW, I got the description of the processes from a spreadsheet I received from the list last year. I remembered it was prepared by Peter but not sure. I can send you that if you want but I am not sure mine is the latest or not.

Hi all, I have installed mq5.3 csd4 and WMQI2.1 csd5 on a mscs cluster. everything is working fine except when I failover to the other node the IBM MQSeries Service does not stop on the node I am failing over from.
I suspected that there migth be a timing issue becuase of the WMQi broker not being shut down completly before stopping the mqseries service. But this is not the case.
There are 2 mqseries processes still running after the failover, amqsvc and amqmsrvn.
I am having a problem finding a descritpion these processes. I have been looking through the manuals for mqseries and I just can't find a description of these processes. On the web I have found a lot of problems with these processes but no description.
I can manually stop the mqseries service and it works fine, but I need this to be automatic when there is a failover.
Anyone out there who have experienced a similar thing or have an idea how to solve this. And if someone have an idea where I could find the descriptions to these process it would be appriciated.
Best regards Erik
