Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This problem affects users of the IBM MQ Virtual System Pattern
  Type V8 who use single instance MQ pattern deployments where MQ
  logs and data are stored on a shared filesystems such as GPFS
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  AIX, Linux on x86-64
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When a pattern was deployed for a single instance Queue Manager
  using the "Use existing MQ queue manager data directory" option,
  /qmgrs/ was incorrectly added to the MQ configuration path,
  which invalidated the location of the MQ log and data
  directories.
  

Problem conclusion

• The IBM MQ Virtual System Pattern Type scripts have been
  modified to ensure that /qmgrs/ is no longer added to the MQ log
  and data directory path for single instance Queue Manager
  pattern deployments which use the "Use existing MQ queue manager
  data directory" option
