Hi,
I need to install MQ in more than 1500 servers in different locations. These servers were AS400, Windows and AIX. How can I install MQ in all servers at a time. I mean any automation method that helps to install MQ in all servers.
thanks |

Dont go in one shot....Classify the servers (Dev/QA/Prod something like that).
are there any customized scripts/exits etc etc, has to be taken care.

you can think of silent installation for the same.
AFAIK you have to come up with a script to do automate the installation,

With 1500 server installs? That's going to take a while. Rather than separate by Dev/Test/Prod, I'd separate by platform - AS/400, Unix, Windows, etc. Also speak to the machine admins - they may have a method you can adapt. I doubt they go round 1500 servers doing manual installs of system software.
Don't forget that once you've installed the software, you're going to need some way of administering 1500+ queue managers. Give some thought to how you plan to do that, and build the necessary objects as part of the installation process. It'll save you going round twice.

You need to also keep in mind that you will have to apply maintenance to 1,500 servers.
You really need two things for this project. 1) a software provisioning system to distribute the installation/maintenance files and execute the installation/maintenance scripts and 2) an MQ management system to administer MQ on 1,500 machines.
The agent components of the MQ management system should be provisioned to the servers using the same tool as the MQ install itself.
One question, though... is this an MQServer install on all 1,500 machines? Or an MQ Client install?

Yes - you can script a silent installation and push that onto all the machines. Or you can use script used to maintain the machines currently. Or you can develop a mechanism that does the installations, and can be reused to apply maintenance.
And then develop a way of administering all those machines.
You've been told all this already
