Is it possible to install MQ V6 on a 32 bit AIX/HP-UX/Solaris?
The documents say that MQ V6 requires a 64 bit hardware on AIX/HP-UX/Solaris. But, I have someone telling me that we can install MQ V6 on a 32 bit AIX/HP-UX/Solaris with some Kernel parameter settings. I am not sure if that's doable.
Please let me know if anyone has done a successful install of MQ V6 on a 32 bit AIX/HP-UX/Solaris.
Regards. |

I have seen posts of screenshots of queuemanagers running in 32-bit mode on AIX,
but the hardware needs to be 64-bit
tried to install MQ V6 on my 32-bit test hardware with AIX 5.3 and blew away the installation 
(back up and running with MQ V5.3 again ...  )

Michael Dag,
Thank you for your input.
No more hits  .
If you could direct me to some links, that would help as well. I have been searching in vain. |

For the Unix platforms, the OS must be capable of running 64-bit progams. So for all of them, that means you require 64-bit hardware.
On most Unixes that also means that the kernel has to be 64-bit, but AIX is slightly different (and better!) in that the kernel does not need to be 64-bit. Both the 32-bit and 64-bit AIX kernels are capable of running 64-bit application programs. |

What do you mean by this ? Can you tell me what error you got?
Thanks

sorry to put you on the wrong foot, it blew away my AIX...
setting the kernel of AIX 5.3 to 64-bit on 32-bit hardware is not healthy...
