Restrictions for IBM MQ Virtual System Pattern Type

Some assets in IBM® MQ Virtual System Pattern Type have restrictions on how you can use them when you build your pattern.

Software component restrictions

IBM MQ software components have the following restrictions:

From IBM MQ 8.0.0, Fix Pack 2, you can install IBM MQ software components on x86-64 Linux® operating systems. Therefore, you should be using IBM PureApplication® System W2500.
From IBM MQ 8.0.0, Fix Pack 4, you can also install IBM MQ software components on AIX® operating systems. Therefore, you should be using IBM PureApplication System W2700.
Multiple instances of IBM MQ cannot be installed on a single virtual machine at the same time. The first component on a virtual machine, installs IBM MQ to the default location and, optionally, creates a queue manager. On subsequent occasions, the installed instance of IBM MQ is updated if you try to add a component that contains a later version, otherwise no change is made. Optionally, another queue manager is created.
