Hi All,
Maybe its me reading the document incorrect
I currently have 7.0.1.9 installed on AIX and this is primary installation
I have now installed MQ 7.5 to do this I created a filesystem
/usr/mqm75
Then ran
installp -R /usr/mqm75 -acgYWd. <file sets>
This install correct but installs to
/usr/mqm75/usr/mqm
Info Centre shows >
The directory specified with the -R flag is an AIX User Specified Install Location (USIL). WebSphere MQ is installed underneath the directory specified. For example, if -R /USIL1 is specified, the WebSphere MQ product files are located in /USIL1/usr/mqm.
So I believe that maps to what I see.
However I have seen in other documentation and also on Linux that you can install to /opt/mqm75 and after installation is complete then all the binaries etc etc hand direct of mqm75 and not as my example on AIX /usr/mqm75/usr/mqm is currently showing
I know its me doing something wrong but for some reason I am missing it.
ie I was hoping the directories would be direct of /usr/mqm/75...
Thank you in advance |

Linux is not AIX.....
installp is not rpm...
Maybe there's an alternate install method on AIX, smitty perhaps, that gives you a different option... |

Hi Jeff
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I understand Linux / Aix differences I was just presuming (maybe incorrectly) that installing it would be similar in terms of the paths etc.
I cant find anything in SMIT and our Unix Team tell me there isnt anything but I just needed to ask the question and see what my respected peers in MQ Land may have done.
Thanks |

What you've observed is perfectly ok, and should be exactly what you see in the MQ install instructions. The AIX USIL is a bigger concept than just a means to install MQ. There is no similar concept in use on any of the other platforms MQ supports. |

Morning All.
I have carried on testing out installation / removal of MQ 7.5 and have come across strange scenario.
Installation has been by
installp -R USIL_Directory -acgXYd. list of file sets
uninstallation has been by
installp -R usil -u mqm
First installation went into /usr/mqm75 and all was ok, and queue manager could be created and associated with 7.5 installation.
running lslpp -l | grep mqm it only shows filesets for 7.0.1.9 example
mqm.base.runtime 7.0.1.9 APPLIED WebSphere MQ Runtime for
This is where I decided to uninstall it and carry out reinstallation. Info centre for removal was followed and no errors shown. Then when I try to re-install I get the following
Verifying selections...0503-040 installp: A system error occurred while attempting
to access the Software Vital Product Data.
Use local problem reporting procedures.
Created new filesystem all installed fine but same output as above, does not show 7.5 filesets and same issue doing uninstall etc. (This installation I did not create a queue manager with the installation)
After various attempts this is what I see. Installation0 and Installation 4 are the only installations on the server at the moment.
InstName: Installation0
InstDesc: IBM WebSphere MQ Installation
Identifier: 0
InstPath: /usr/mqm
Version: 7.0.1.9
Primary: Yes
State: Available
InstName: Installation1
InstDesc:
Identifier: 1
InstPath: /usr/mqm75/usr/mqm
Version: ?.?.?.?
Primary: No
State: Not Available
InstName: Installation2
InstDesc:
Identifier: 2
InstPath: /usr/mqm75/usr/usr/mqm
Version: ?.?.?.?
Primary: No
State: Not Available
InstName: Installation3
InstDesc:
Identifier: 3
InstPath: /temp/mqtest/2204/usr/mqm
Version: ?.?.?.?
Primary: No
State: Not Available
InstName: Installation4
InstDesc:
Identifier: 4
InstPath: /usr/mq75/usr/mqm
Version: 7.5.0.1
Primary: No
State: Available
So in summary what I do not understand is why
1) trying to display the filesets that are installed for MQ 7.5 on AIX are not showing just 7.0.1.9
2) Why after removal can we not reinstal into that directory and why does dspmqinst think there is someting hanging around.
Thanks in advance |

| What do you see if you use -R <path> on the lslpp command? |

ok this is the offending file, appears that uninstal of MQ 7.5 is not tidying this file up
/etc/opt/mqm/mqinst.ini |
