Create a file system for the product code

 

The WebSphere MQ product code is installed in /usr/mqm. If we cannot install the product code in the /usr/mqm file system because the file system is too small to contain the product, we can do one of the following:

1. Create a new file system and mount it as /usr/mqm. If you choose this option, the new file system must be created and mounted before installing the product code.

2. Create a new directory anywhere on your machine, and create a symbolic link from /usr/mqm to this new directory. For example:

     mkdir /bigdisk/mqm
     ln -s /bigdisk/mqm /usr/mqm If you choose this option, the new directory must be created, and the link created, before installing the product code.

3. Allow the install program to expand the file system.

The file system into which the code is installed can be a remote network device, for example, NFS. However, define the mount options defined on that device to allow setuid programs, including those which are setuid root, to run.
