Operating system requirements: For Ethernet, one of the following operating system platforms: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86 or x86-64) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (x86 or x86-64) SUSE Enterprise Linux 10 (x86 or x86-64) SUSE Enterprise Linux 11 (x86 or x86-64) Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and above (x86 or x86-64) Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1 and above (x86 or 86-64) Microsoft Windows Vista (x86 or x86-64) Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (x86 or 86-64) Solaris 10 UltraSPARC (32- or 64-bit) Solaris 10 (x86 or x86-64) zLinux (64-bit) on System z9 or z10 HP-UX 11i v2 * * HP-UX supports RMM only; RUM and RCMS are not supported For InfiniBand, one of the following operating system platforms: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 For Low Latency Message Store, one of the following operating system platforms: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86 or x86-64) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (x86 or x86-64) SUSE Enterprise Linux 10 SP1 (x86 or x86-64) SUSE Enterprise Linux 11 (x86 or x86-64) Microsoft Windows XP SP2 (x86 or x86-64) Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1+ (x86 or 86-64) Microsoft Windows Vista (x86 or x86-64) Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (x86 or 86-64) Runtime requirements: C and C++ applications -- Windows platform: Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (shipped) Java applications - Linux platform: IBM JRE 5.0 or Sun JRE 5.0 or 6.0 - Solaris platform: IBM JRE 5.0 or Sun JRE 5.0 or 6.0 - Windows platform + IBM JRE 5.0 or Sun JRE 5.0 or 6.0 + Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (shipped) .NET applications -- Windows platform: Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (shipped) InfiniBand runtime requirements OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) V1.2, or later Development system software requirements C and C++ applications - Windows platform -- Microsoft Visual Studio 8.0 or 9.0 32- or 64-bit on one of the following: + Microsoft Windows XP (SP2), or + Windows Server 2003 (SP1+), or + Microsoft Windows Vista, or + Microsoft Windows 2008 - Linux platform + GCC 3.4.3 32- or 64-bit on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 4, or + GCC 4.1.1 32- or 64-bit on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5, or + GCC 4.1.0 32- or 64-bit on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, or + GCC 4.1.2 64-bit on zLinux - Solaris platform: Sun Studio 11 32- and 64-bit on Solaris 10 (SPARC/x86) - HP/UX platform: HP C/aC++ for HP Integrity servers 32- or 64-bit on HP-UX 11i v2 Java applications - Linux platform: IBM SDK 5.0 or Sun SDK 5.0 or 6.0 - Windows platform: IBM SDK 5.0 or Sun SDK 5.0 or 6.0 - Solaris platform: IBM SDK 5.0 or Sun SDK 5.0 or 6.0 - HP/UX platform: IBM SDK 5.0 .NET applications -- Windows platform: Microsoft Visual Studio 8.0 or 9.0 |
Processor: AMD or Intel x86 architecture 32- or 64-bit, Solaris UltraSPARC, Itanium IA64 processor with HP-UX, or z9 or z10 with zLinux One processor, with a minimum speed of 2.0 GHz (dual processor or dual core recommended) Minimum 300 MB required free disk space for installation One or more of the following network adapters: - For Ethernet, 1 or 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters - For InfiniBand, host channel adapters supported by OFED-1.2 or later For the Low Latency Message Store feature, enough disk space to hold the messages that are to be stored, and a fast enough disk system to support the rate of messages to be stored Performance considerations: WebSphere MQ Low Latency Messaging performance depends on the complexity of the specific environment, volume of data traffic and the data object size |
