How To
Summary
This techdoc shows all the steps to upgrade a single installation of IBM MQ 8.0.0.11 to IBM MQ 9.1.0.1 LTS in Linux.
The single installation is explicitly designated as Primary.
Objective
This is a straight upgrade and does not exploit the 'multi-version' feature introduced with MQ 7.1, in which several versions of MQ can co-exist ("side-by-side").
.
The upgrade instructions apply also for MQ 9.2.
.
The upgrade instructions apply also for MQ 9.2.
You can upgrade from MQ 8.0 to MQ 9.1 without first going through MQ 9.0.
You can upgrade from MQ 8.0 to MQ 9.2 without first going through MQ 9.0 or MQ 9.2.
You can upgrade from MQ 8.0 to MQ 9.2 without first going through MQ 9.0 or MQ 9.2.
Note: You cannot migrate directly from MQ 7.x to MQ 9.1 or MQ 9.2:
- If you are using MQ 7.0, then you will need to upgrade to MQ 8.0, then to MQ 9.1 or MQ 9.2
- If you are using MQ 7.1 or MQ 7.5, then you will need to upgrade to MQ 8.0 or MQ 9.0, then to MQ 9.1 or MQ 9.2.
- If you are using MQ 7.0, then you will need to upgrade to MQ 8.0, then to MQ 9.1 or MQ 9.2
- If you are using MQ 7.1 or MQ 7.5, then you will need to upgrade to MQ 8.0 or MQ 9.0, then to MQ 9.1 or MQ 9.2.
Even though the platform used in this techdoc is Linux x86 64-bit, the overall instructions apply also to other UNIX distributions: AIX and Solaris.
Note that HP-UX is no longer supported in MQ 9.1.
Note that Solaris is no longer supported in MQ 9.2.
.
Prior to the upgrade, you need to take a full backup of your MQ 8.0 queue managers.
Why? Because the upgrade to MQ 9.1 is NOT reversible.
If you need to back out and revert back to MQ 8.0, you will need to delete the upgraded MQ 9.1 queue managers and restore the MQ 8.0 queue managers from backup.
.
The chapters are:
Chapter 1: Uninstalling MQ 8.0
Chapter 2: Installing MQ 9.1.0.0 LTS
Chapter 3: Applying Fix Pack MQ 9.1.0.1 LTS
Chapter 4: Running setmqinst to designate the Primary installation
Chapter 5: Running setmqenv to use MQ 9.1 commands
Chapter 6: Creating a queue manager under 9.1
Chapter 7: Remote access to the new MQ 9.1 queue manager
Chapter 8: Migrating an MQ 8.0 queue manager to MQ 9.1
