Below are direct links for IBM MQ which document supporting software levels that must be installed before opening a problem report with IBM MQ Technical Support.

License entitlement
IBM MQ Advanced entitlement is described in IBM MQ license information in IBM Knowledge Center.

RHEL Compatible OS. Defect support is available for Linux environments that are fully compatible - both source and binary - with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Unless stated otherwise, IBM MQ has not been specifically tested in such compatible environments. IBM MQ Support is therefore unable to assist in issues related to configuration and setup, or issues that are directly related to the Linux environment itself. If issues arise that are related to the compatible Linux environment, the user might need to contact the Linux environment vendor for support, or the issue might need to be recreated inside an environment tested by IBM in order to receive IBM MQ support.
Replicated Data Queue Manager (RDQM) depends on a RHEL kernel module and can only be supported on RHEL x86-64.

Virtualization. Defect support is available for virtualization environments where they relate to releases of this platform already supported by IBM MQ. Unless stated elsewhere in the system requirements, IBM MQ has not been specifically tested in virtualization environments.

IBM 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. Please also refer to: IBM MQ's support position on Virtualization, low-level hardware, file systems on networks and high availability.
