What are these things?
Is MIQ a) a logistics firm b) most important questions c) a japanese pop singer or d) something else?
Is MIB a) Motor insurers Burreau b) Men In Black or c) something else?

I think he's talking about Multi-instance QMGR and Multi-instance Broker. His acronyms are a bit dated.
I also think he's asking about which contact admin (Network Attached Storaged) people use for same.

MIB and MIB II were excellent movies.

On the topic of the N.A.S. devices, make sure there are not firewalls between the VMs and the N.A.S. devices. The fewer the hops, the better. While this should be obvious, it is amazing how it gets overlooked. The N.A.S must present NSF V4 file systems.
Why does this site think N.A.S. without the dots is an offensive term? never heard of that... Perhaps I'm just unworldly.

NFS4? Is anybody running MIQ(and MIB) on that(in production aswell)?
Dont you then have to setup NFS4 cluster to avoid a SPOF?
We are looking into GPFS, however it seems quite heavy to run GPFS NFS servers on the same VM:s as MIQ(and MIB). IBM recommends at least four vCPUs per VM just for GPFS.
We want to keep the VM:s low on vCPUs(just two per VM) to keep the license cost down..(WMQ and WMB is not so heavy on cpu:s, but heavy on license cost).
The option is to run a GPFS cluster on different VM:s(For example two of them) and have GPFS clients on the MIQ(and MIB)VM:s.
The negative side of the GPFS cluster setup is that we gonna have three environments, meaning that we gonna have six more VM:s(with just GPFS) to administrate etc...
And nope no firewall between VM:s and NFS.

Wondering which acronyms to use to be up to date? |

I think its the combo that is throwing people.
You might like WMQ-MI or WMB-MI better.

To avoid confusion or needless misunderstanding, it is good form to use the full name, and then the acronym (in parentheses), the first time you use an acronym.
Way back when I was in college, we had to follow the writing style specified in the APA (American Psychological Association) Style Guide.
For clarity, you should also include specifics as to product(s) version/release/platform.
