System Requirements for IBM MQ 9.4

Content

Software Product Compatibility Reports
You can access the Software Product Compatibility Reports for any product, and get the supported operating systems, system requirements, and optional supported software for your product version. The following direct links are for IBM MQ. These links document supported software levels that you must install before you open a problem report with IBM MQ Technical Support.

License entitlement:
IBM MQ Advanced entitlement is described in IBM MQ license information in IBM Documentation.

Replicated Data Queue Manager kernel modules:
Replicated Data Queue Manager (RDQM) depends on a RHEL kernel module and is only supported on RHEL x86-64. Refer to IBM MQ Replicated Data Queue Manager Kernel Modules for current information on kernel modules delivered with the product and validated by IBM.

RHEL Compatible OS: Defect support is available for Linux environments that are fully compatible, both source and binary, with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 or 9. Unless stated otherwise, IBM MQ has not been tested in such compatible environments. Therefore IBM MQ Support is unable to help with issues related to configuration and setup, or issues that are directly related to the Linux environment. If issues arise that are related to the compatible Linux environment, contact the Linux environment vendor for support. If you can re-create the issue inside an environment tested by IBM, you are then entitled to IBM MQ support.

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.

Therefore IBM MQ support is unable to assist in issues related to configuration and setup, or issues that are directly related to the virtualization environment. Also refer to: IBM MQ's support position on Virtualization, low-level hardware, file systems on networks and high availability.
