# Remote Repository

On the previous panel (Join Default Cluster) you chose not to make this computer's queue manager the repository, and so you must now define which computer holds (or will hold) the queue manager to be the repository for this cluster. Enter the TCP/IP computer name (or the IP address) of the remote computer.

If the remote computer is not yet ready to be the repository, for example if you have:

- installed WebSphere® MQ but not yet configured it or
- not yet installed WebSphere MQ

you can still define that computer as the remote repository at this time. Before you can use your cluster however, you must reconfigure that machine appropriately by using Default Configuration wizard.
