Deploying and configuring queue managers using the IBM MQ Operator

IBM® MQ 9.1.5 and later are deployed to Red Hat® OpenShift® using the IBM MQ Operator.

About this task

Preparing your Red Hat OpenShift project for IBM MQ
Prepare your Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster so that it's ready to deploy a queue manager.
Deploying a queue manager onto a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster
Use the QueueManager custom resource to deploy a queue manager onto a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
Examples for configuring a queue manager
A queue manager can be configured by adjusting the contents of the QueueManager custom resource.
Configuring high availability for queue managers using the IBM MQ Operator
Configuring a Route to connect to a queue manager from outside a Red Hat OpenShift cluster
You need a Red Hat OpenShift Route to connect an application to an IBM MQ queue manager from outside a Red Hat OpenShift cluster. You must enable TLS on your IBM MQ queue manager and client application, because SNI is only available in the TLS protocol when a TLS 1.2 or higher protocol is used. The Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Router uses SNI for routing requests to the IBM MQ queue manager.
Integrating with the IBM Cloud Pak for Integration Operations Dashboard
The ability to trace transactions through IBM Cloud Pak for Integration is provided by the Operations Dashboard.
Building an image with custom MQSC and INI files, using the Red Hat OpenShift CLI
Use an Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Pipeline to create a new IBM MQ container image, with MQSC and INI files you want to be applied to queue managers using this image. This task should be completed by a project administrator
Adding custom annotations and labels to queue manager resources
You add custom annotations and labels to the QueueManager metadata.
Disabling runtime webhook checks
Runtime webhook checks ensure that the storage classes are viable for your queue manager. You disable them to improve performance, or because they are not valid for your environment.
