Aside from comparing the contents of /opt/mqm, or checking for the /var/mqm/qmgrs directory (which is present), is there an easy way to determine if MQClient or MQServer is installed?
I have an HP-UX machine that has MQ installed, but does not have any queue managers. I was not with this company when the current install was completed and we do not have documentation regarding what is installed. I need to upgrade from v5.3 to v6.0.2.2 and since that requires an uninstall, I want to ensure that what I reinstall is the same as what is currently there.
Thanks!  |

If you've got a qmgrs directory, it's a server not a client.

The HP-UX swinstall tool/tools should give you a way to find out what packages are installed.

I was concerned because I saw the Client libraries specifically mentioned near the top but then the Server stuff near the bottom.
Looks like I will be uninstalling MQ5.3 and reinstalling the server version of MQ6.0 (then 6.0.2.2).
Thanks! |

I'm not trying to be funny, but if you don't need a "server" - ie. a queue manager - running here, you don't need to install the server product.
Are there other facts that can be brought to bear on the decision - eg. run ps -ef and check whether there's actually a queue manager running... check with the app and MQ ops teams to see if they expect a queue manager to run here. If not, then the client install is perhaps preferable...
If you DO upgrade to MQ 6.0.2.2 server product, you'll need to ensure the important data is backed up first and you have done a dry run somewhere to check it all goes to plan. |

Would it help if I pointed out most server installs also have the client installed for those applications running locally that don't want to make a bindings connection? This list is therefore perfectly normal.

| I am not sure how/why the decision was made to not create a queue manager on this server. We are going to look into the possibility/necessity of creating a queue manager here. |

| If only the client is being used, you are paying for server licenses you do not need..... |

I have the same issue on an x86 solaris box. I was told that this server was only running MQ Client, yet I see a qmgrs directory.
| Code: |
bash-3.00$ dspmqver
Name: WebSphere MQ
Version: 6.0.1.0
CMVC level: p600-100-051021
BuildType: IKAP - (Production)
bash-3.00$ ls -laF /var/mqm

Is this the only way to tell for sure? |

On solaris, you should be able to use something related to pkgadd to list the installed packages...

pkginfo says you have an MQ client. If more verification is required, say

Sure looks like Client. I just wonder why the qmgrs directory got created.
Perhaps the previous admin installed MQ Client from the full MQ Server install, rather than the MQ Client tar file?
