Chapter 3. Planning to Install the MQSeries for AS/400 Server

This chapter provides a summary of the requirements for running MQSeries for AS/400. It discusses the network protocols and compilers supported, the delivery media, and the various components of the product.

The information in this chapter applies to the server environment only. For information about client environments, see ªChapter 6. Planning to Install MQSeries Clientsº on page 45.

Hardware Requirements

MQSeries for AS/400, V5.1 runs on any machine that is capable of running OS/400 V4R4, and that has sufficient storage to meet the combined requirements of the programming prerequisites, MQSeries for AS/400, V5.1, the access methods, and the application programs, whether from IBM or other vendors.

The installation requirements depend on the components you install and how much working space you need. This, in turn, depends on the number of queues that you use, the number and size of the messages on the queues, and whether the messages are persistent. You also require archiving capacity on disk, tape, or other media.

Disk Space Required

For the MQSeries for AS/400, V5.1 base code and server you should allow approximately 60 MB of storage.

Software Requirements

This is the minimum supported software level. Later levels, if any, will be supported unless otherwise stated.

OS/400 Version 4 Release 4

Connectivity

The network protocols supported by MQSeries for AS/400 are:

vTCP

vSNA LU 6.2
