I think its more likely that because you are at MQ 6.0 at the new place you have less cluster problems. It wasn't until the later fix packs of 5.3 that MQ clustering was stable. Always use 2 and only Full Repositories. If you want to use more, there should be a technical reason why. “Some years after working at a new place we have 4 FRs (v6 mq) and i just havent had any problems.”

Normally related to network problems. Some years after working at a new place we have 4 FRs (v6 mq) and i just havent had any problems. Nope,

After years of using MQ clusters, my conclusion is that exact 2 full repositories is best. They should be on the most reliable and accessible qmgrs in the cluster. If you can't select 2 decent qmgrs to be full repositories, 1 is sufficient. Another hint is to keep software levels as current as practical as nearly all CSDs and FixPacks seem to include PTFs for cluster related problems. I agree 100% with your comments.
