System Requirements for WebSphere MQ V7.0/7.0.1 on HP-UX PA-RISC

Please read first

• HP-UX (PA-RISC) with 64-bit hardware, 32-bit and 64-bit WebSphere MQ APIs are supported and the operating system must have a 64-bit kernel.
• The 'MQ Explorer' will not run on this platform.
• Defect support is available for virtualization environments where they relate to releases of this platform already supported by WebSphere MQ. Unless stated elsewhere in the system requirements, WebSphere MQ has not been specifically tested in virtualization environments. WebSphere MQ Support is therefore unable to assist in issues related to configuration and setup, or issues that are directly related to the virtualization environment itself.

• HP PA-RISC 64-bit systems only, capable of running the required level of a compatible operating system with enough storage to meet the combined requirements of the programming prerequisites, WebSphere MQ, the access methods and the application programs.
