I want to know is it possible to change the name of the MQ installation directory i.e
/opt/mqm/8 to say /opt/mqm/8.0.0
Such that I do the following:
1) Stop the QMGR
1) Unset the MQ Installation Primary location
2) Rename the MQ Binary directory from /opt/mqm/8 to /opt/mqm/8.0.0
3) Set the MQ installation Path to the new directory
4) Start the QMGR and go on my way? (Same for multi instance set up)
Or do I have to unset, uninstall mq, wipe out the directory, create the new dir and install to the new location, etc.? |

You could just install another copy of MQ using multi-install.
If you rename the directory, it will be out of sync with the software respository and make future maintenance difficult for one thing.

| So you are saying install a new copy to the desired directory and update the QMGR to point to the new path and wipe out my old installation dir? |

Don't know what other software you have installed that might be referencing the existing directory... so wiping it out is a little bit harsh...

| So is my assumption valid not getting a definitive response. |

Because none of us have a definitive answer. 
As my associate says, try it in dev. Let us know how it works out for you.
