Hello,
Is it possible that one MQ instance can connect to two websphere parallel environments on the same physical AIX server? What is the best practice for this? Or else is it better to go with 2 MQ softwares installed in 2 different file systems so that each WAS environment can connect to each MQ env?
Thanks. |

Yes, this is the best approach to do so. Each WAS Instance will be having 2 different queue manager and different port/listeners to operate

 not good.

You can not install MQ twice on the same operating system.
You can connect more than one WAS to one queue manager in one MQ install.
You can create more than one queue manager in one MQ install, and connect one or more WAS to each of those.

What do you mean by one instance? Is one product binaries or one queue manager you are referring? in either case, more than one WebSphere App Server/cluster(s) on the same physical box or App servers on different box can connect to one WebSphere MQ Queue Manager(s). It's your architecture how you want to design, but both the products do support multiple applications to connect.

| I mean to ask can a 6.x queue manager can communicate two websphere instances one on 5.1 and other one on 6.1 but both of them are on same server. I guess we can do that but what kind of issues we can expect? |

Two different WAS instances, at different software levels, can connect to the same queue manager.
Regardless of which machines the two WAS instances are on.
There will be no issues.
