Checking the operating environment - IA64 (IPF) platform

 

Before you install WebSphere MQ V6.0, check that your system meets the hardware and operating system software requirements set for this product and the particular components you intend to install on it.

WebSphere MQ does not support host names that contain spaces. If you install WebSphere MQ on a computer with a host name that contains spaces, you will be unable to create any queue managers.

 

Hardware

WebSphere MQ for HP-UX, V6.0 runs on any Intel IA64 (IPF) V2 (or later) machine that supports the specified operating system.

 

Operating System

If we need to convert to or from codepages associated with Chinese, Japanese, or Korean locales on HP-UX V11.00, we need to install the Asian System Environment (ASE).

 

Connectivity Requirements

Check that the system has 64-bit compatible communications hardware that supports at least one of the following:

TCP/IP is part of the base operating system.

Storage Requirements

The storage requirements for the WebSphere MQ for HP-UX, V6.0 depend on which components you install, and how much working space we need. This, in turn, depends on the number of queues that you use, the number and size of the messages on the queues, and whether the messages are persistent. You also require archiving capacity on disk, tape or other media.
