Migrating from an Earlier Version of MQSeries for AIX

If you want to migrate from an MQSeries for AIX V5.0 client to an MQSeries for AIX V5.1 client, you must first end all MQSeries activity on the target machine, and remove any shared resources that are used by MQSeries. Do this either by shutting down the system and restarting it, or by issuing the icprm command to remove the shared resources.

The migration procedure described in this section applies only to migration from MQSeries for AIX V5.0 clients to MQSeries for AIX V5.1 clients. If you are migrating from an earlier version of MQSeries for AIX, you are advised to uninstall your current version before installing the MQSeries for AIX V5.1 client.

Migration from MQSeries for AIX V5.0 involves updating any currently installed filesets, and installing any new filesets that might be required.

To update currently installed filesets:

1.Go into SMIT for root authority. From the shell, enter: smit

2.Select the device appropriate for your installation using the following sequence of windows:

Software Installation and Maintenance

Install and Update Software

Update Installed Software to Latest Level (Update All)

Alternatively, you can use the fastpath command to select the appropriate device:

smitty update_latest

3.Select the List button to display the Single Select List window.

4.Select /dev/cd0 (CD-ROM Drive).

5.Select OK to display the parameters for Update All.

6.Update all previously installed software for MQSeries by selecting the _update_all option in the Software to update field.

7.Press Enter.

8.Select OK in the confirmation window to start updating the software.

Once all previously installed filesets have been updated to the latest level, you can install any additional filesets. See ªCustom Installationº on page 61 for more information.
