IBM Installation LDAP WebSphere WebSphere MQ

WebSphere MQ Tutorial – 1

By on Wednesday, May 16, 2012
Any tutorial requires a base to operate on. This first part shows how to install and configure WebSphere MQ 7 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.2.

Prepare the Operating System

Download and unzip the installation image

  1. Login to the IBM Partnerworld Software site and download the IBM WebSphere MQ installation image as a tar.gz file
  2. Login as root
  3. Issue the following commands
cd /tmp
mkdir MQ7
cd MQ7
gunzip < | tar -xvf –

Create users and groups

  1. MQ runs only under the mqm user id and mqm group. Any user assigned to the mqm group can administer the server
  2. Issue the following commands
groupadd mqm
useradd -m -g mqm mqm
su – mqm
[mqm@mq1 ~]$ id
uid=501(mqm) gid=502(mqm) groups=502(mqm) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
[mqm@mq1 ~]$ exit

Verify Operating System Parameters

  1. Ensure that the sh command points to the bash shell instead of dash or any other shell using the following command
    2. ls -l /bin/sh
    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 4 Apr 23 20:59 /bin/sh -> bash
  2. Check the Operating system kernel parameters using the following commands. For explanation of each of the parameters, check the RedHat Linux manual
    3. cat /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni
    1736
    cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmni
    4096
    cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
    268435456
    cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
    4294967295
    cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem
    250      32000 32    128
    cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
    100862
    cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time

    7200

  3. Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf  file and paste in the following lines
    4. kernel.sem = 500 256000 250 1024
    fs.file-max = 524288 
  4. Check the settings using the following command
    5. sysctl -p
    net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
    net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
    net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
    kernel.sysrq = 0
    kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
    net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
    error: “net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables” is an unknown key
    error: “net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables” is an unknown key
    error: “net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables” is an unknown key
    kernel.msgmnb = 65536
    kernel.msgmax = 65536
    kernel.shmmax = 4294967295
    kernel.shmall = 268435456
    kernel.sem = 500 256000 250 1024
    fs.file-max = 524288
    /sbin/sysctl fs.file-max
    fs.file-max = 524288
    /sbin/sysctl fs.file-nr
    fs.file-nr = 3936    0     524288

  5. Check the ulimit for max files that can be opened
    6. ulimit -n
    1024
  6. Edit the /etc/security/limits.conf file and paste the following lines
    7. mqm              hard    nofile          10240
    mqm              soft    nofile          10240 
  7. From within the /tmp/MQ7 directory issue the following command to accept the MQ license
    8. ./mqlicense.sh -accept
