Migrating from earlier versions of WebSphere MQ for Linux

 

If you are migrating from a previous version of WebSphere MQ for Linux, uninstall your current version before installing WebSphere MQ V6.0. See WebSphere MQ for Linux Version 6.0 Quick Beginnings for instructions.

The use of RPM upgrade tools to migrate directly from one version of WebSphere MQ to another is not supported.

If you have already tried to upgrade WebSphere MQ using rpm -U or rpm -F, you might have deleted your old WebSphere MQ package entries from the RPM database without removing the product from your system. You might also have partially installed WebSphere MQ V6.0.

To continue upgrading to WebSphere MQ V6.0:

1. Find out which WebSphere MQ packages still have entries in your RPM database using: rpm -qa | grep MQSeries

2. Remove all remaining WebSphere MQ packages of any level from your system using: rpm -e <package name>

3. Remove the /opt/mqm directory by typing: rm -rf /opt/mqm

4. Install WebSphere MQ V6.0 using the instructions provided in WebSphere MQ for Linux Version 6.0 Quick Beginnings
