I've bben trying to install websphere mq 6.0 on aix 5.3 32 bit o/s. problem is using the smit utility I choose the components to be installed later I get the message "installp PREVIEW: installation will not actually occur". get this message in the end of output window "End of installp PREVIEW. No apply operation has actually occurred". can anybody help me in going forward from here. /var/mqm dir is empty even after this.

It could be with smit utility settings.
As a general procedure, run the installation with Preview option set to yes ( i guess this what you are currently doing)
Verify the smit log for any errors/warnings.
once you are convinced, change the preview option to NO and begin installation. the product would be installed. |

Well... MQ 6.0 only runs on a 64 bit AIX, so that might be a hinderance..... but...did you really mean 32 bit/// aix 5.3 is a 64 bit os afaik.

Actually this is not correct. MQ 6.0 also runs on 32 bit kernel.
| Code: |
(root):/ # bootinfo -K
32
(root):/ # dspmqver
Name: WebSphere MQ
Version: 6.0.0.0
CMVC level: p000-L050519
BuildType: IKAP - (Production)
(root):/ #
|
However you have the option to run MQ 6.0 on a 64 bit kernel as well and use the appropriate 64bit libraries.

But can be run as a 32 bit OS as well. |

The MQ 6.0 queue manager programs on AIX are 64-bit programs, and need a 64-bit machine and an AIX OS that supports 64-bit processes. They can't be expected to run on 32-bit hardware.
Actually I am not clear what you meant by "32 bit OS". Did you mean AIX running on 32-bit hardware?
Refer to the supported environments list for MQ 6.0 on AIX : http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006268 |

The keyword actually is "capability". With 6.0 now WebSphere MQ has the capability to utilize the 64bit libraries and run the programs/queue managers as 64 bit applications. However it is most certainly not exclusive to 64 bit as i showed above. I have it running on a 32 bit kernel utilizing only the 32 bit libraries. The "Quick Beginings" has a section on how to create queue managers using the 64bit libraries.

Fart! i meant to say enabling 32 bit kernel on a 64 bit hardware

wshutz's link just above will answer a lot of questions you might have. Good link.

Almost always because of older versions of different products using kernel extension and not able to function on a 64bit enabled kernel. Its a question of $$ really. Do you want a box just dedicated to WebSphere MQ 6.0 or do you want to share the box with other applications which are not yet capable of functioning on a 64bit kernel. |

The queue manager on WebSphere MQ V.6 on AIX is 64-bit and requires 64-bit hardware, applications can be either 32-bit or 64-bit. We do not care whether you have chosen to run AIX with a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel.
