To Remove a Broker From a Cluster Using a Cluster Configuration File

1. Edit the cluster configuration file to remove the excluded broker from the list specified for the imq.cluster.brokerlist property.

2. Issue the following command to each broker remaining in the cluster:

   imqcmd reload cls

   This forces the broker to reload the cluster configuration.

3. Stop the broker you’re removing from the cluster.

4. Edit that broker’s config.properties file, removing or specifying a different value for its imq.cluster.url property.
