[IBM MQ Advanced][Linux]

Installing RDQM to a non-default location

By default, RDQM is installed in location /opt/mqm but you can install to a different location, if required.

About this task

To specify a different installation location, you must install the IBM® MQ modules by using the rpm command together with --prefix argument to specify the required location.

You can specify a new location for the RDQM module, and the other IBM MQ modules, but the DRBD and Pacemaker components always install to their default locations and cannot be changed.

Procedure

  1. Complete the procedure described in Installing RDQM (replicated data queue managers) up to the point where you install IBM MQ.
    1. Download the required packages.
    2. Install the DRBD and Pacemaker components.
    3. Accept the license.
  2. Install IBM MQ. You must install at least the components in the following example: 
    rpm -ivh --prefix install_location MQSeriesGSKit* MQSeriesServer* MQSeriesRuntime*
  3. Install the RDQM module: 
    rpm -ivh --prefix install_location Advanced/RDQM/MQSeriesRDQM*
