Hardware and software requirements on HP Integrity NonStop Server systems

Check that the server environment meets the prerequisites for installing the IBM MQ client for HP Integrity NonStop Server. Check the product readme files and install missing prerequisite software supplied on the server DVD.

Hardware

The IBM MQ client for HP Integrity NonStop Server typically requires certain hardware specifications to run:

• HP Integrity NonStop Server H and J series
• Two or more processors
• At least 1 GB, and ideally 4 GB of memory per processor
• 500 MB of free disk space in the Guardian and OSS file systems

Operate system

Two operating systems are supported by the IBM MQ client for HP Integrity NonStop Server:

• HP Integrity NonStop Server running H06.24 or later NonStop OS
• HP Integrity NonStop BladeSystem running J06.13 or later NonStop OS

We must be running one of these operating systems to install the IBM MQ client for HP Integrity NonStop Server.

Other software requirements

IBM MQ client for HP Integrity NonStop Server has some additional software requirements:

• The operating system software, Open System Services (OSS), must be active, with file systems and a local sockets subsystem that is configured and running.
• Safeguard must be active.
• If two-phase commit transaction support is required, then TMF must be active and Pathway must be configured and available. The connected queue manager must be at IBM WebSphere MQ Version 7.1 or later.
• If the Java Message Service (JMS) API is required, then HP Integrity NonStop Server for Java V6 must be available.
• We might require compatible compilers, linkers, and maybe other tools for the C, C++, COBOL, JMS, or pTAL languages if we want to build and use applications.

File system requirements

In the selected installation root directory, in the OSS file system, an installation creates:

• opt - a directory tree that contains the "static" files for an installation in OSS.
• var - a directory tree that contains the "variable" files for an installation in OSS.

An installation also creates a single subvolume in the Guardian file system, which is selected during installation.

• Verify system software prerequisites on HP Integrity NonStop Server
  Use the HP Integrity NonStop Server TACL utility, SYSINFO, to verify the base OS level of the HP Integrity NonStop Server.
