Create a file system for the working data

Create a file system for the working data

Before you install WebSphere MQ for AIX, create and mount a file system called /var/mqm. For a client installation, the file system can be mounted on a remote network device, for example NFS.
To determine the size of the /var/mqm file system for a client installation, consider:

The size of the error log files written to the /var/mqm/errors directory
The amount of trace that is written to the /var/mqm/trace directory

If you are performing both a client and a server installation, the requirements of the server installation take precedence over the requirements of the client installation. For details about the requirements of the server installation, see Creating a file system for the working data.
Allow 50 MB as a minimum for a WebSphere MQ server and 15 MB as a minimum for a WebSphere MQ client.
