Are there any guidelines on how many queue managers can be run on a machine?

In relation to this, what needs to be monitored on NT and HP-UX machines to determine the impact of MQSeries on a machine?

From what I know, at least on UNIX platforms, there is no limit to the number of queue managers; you are only limited by the hardware. As you may know (it's described in another post below) the Solaris kernel configuration needs to be altered to support MQSeries. Heavy load or additional queue managers could further rachet these values up. At some point, the soft limits you set will equal the hard limits, and eventually reach the system's limits. So the number of queue managers possible is governed by a large number of dynamic factors, but as I said, MQSeries won't stop you from running as many queue managers as the platform can support

A slightly different question - By having several Queue Managers running on UNIX, as long as you keep their /var/mqm/qmgrs/xxx and logs seperate and so don't run out of disk space, is there anything that can happen to one Queue Manager that will affect the others eg shared memory?

If we have multiple QManagers on a single machine, The first thing to do is not to define any one as default QManager. If done, this will be a common source of error, selecting the wrong QManager. As far as the effect of shared memory is concerned, If one of the QManagers needs to be stopped manually, care to be taken to identify and release/stop only those shared memory and processes of the problem QManager.

Re:space, each QMgr preallocates space at creation time so you should not run into the problem of one interfering with anothers space.

File system space allocation should be carefully considered for a network of QMgrs.

If you want multiple queue managers on a Unix based machine and create separate log and queue file systems, I believe you can run into serious problems. At least on MQ 5.1, some of the shared memory components used Unix file i-node values as keys. These are unique ... within the same file system. The moment you add more file systems, the unqique ness is lost.
