Closed as program error.
Error description
The "MQ Advanced V8.0 Virtual System Pattern Type for IBM PureApplication System Multilingual (CN7AEML)" includes a template "IBM MQ Multi-instance with 2 pairs" that includes a default value for the "Storage Maximum limit (K,M,G)" of 100M which is insufficient for 2 queue managers. When creating IBM MQ Virtual System Pattern Type patterns from existing templates with this preset default GPFS storage limitation value, the pattern with a pair of HA Multi-instance IBM MQ components will fail to deploy. One or both of the following might be witnessed: The active and standby queue manager in the VM fail to start. The trace.log shows the IBM MQ error (893).
Local fix
When using the provided template to create your pattern, change the GPFS storage maximum value to 1G or higher depending on your requirements.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of the IBM MQ Virtual System Pattern Type patterns from existing templates with a preset default GPFS storage limitation value. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The pattern failed to deploy because the GPFS storage maximum limitation value in the pattern template provided was set too low. The value in the pattern template was 100M but should be higher. Each queue manager requires approximately 100M of space when created but this storage requirement will increase with further configuration and runtime processing of messages. The same GPFS partition might be used in multiple deploys, so the configuration needs to allow enough storage for the required workload
Problem conclusion
The IBM MQ Virtual System Pattern Type pattern template has been updated to set the GPFS storage maximum limitation value to 1G --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v8.0 8.0.0.5 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
