Hello,
Need your inputs on IIBV10 compatibility on IBM Power8 VM - aix virtual machine.
My present IIBV10 - application are hosted on AIX physical servers.
Now there is additional requirement on hardware resources for the same applications as volumes will be increased so our capacity/server team has allocated 2 frames on Power8 which are virtual.
My question is :-
1) MQ V7.5 and IIBV10 products are compatible with IBM Power8 Virtual - AIX os.
2) Present MQ cluster and IIB brokers are running on physical AIX lpars, now if we add 2 new virtual nodes to horizontally add in the existing MQ and IIB cluster services...Is it compatible?
3) If it is compatible then which IIB and MQ product edition need to be install on virtual nodes?
4) IBM Integration Bus Hypervisor Edition and IBM PureApplication System is required to install MQ and IIB V10 on virtual node?
Kindly provide your inputs as I newbie on IIB and MQ on AIX virtual node/machine. |

I don't think it matters to MQ or IIB what is physical and what is virtual.
Despite the claims of vendors that everything has changed every few years, I have found that computers generally consist of CPU, Memory, Disk and Network - no matter if they are real or virtual.
But I must admit to not knowing what the hypervisor edition does.

If the MQ & IIB system requirement pages say those versions are, then yes. Otherwise no.

If you've got MQv7.5 running already, and you add 2 new MQv7.5 queue managers to the cluster, how exactly would the cluster even know these 2 queue managers are running on virtual machines? Never mind care? Would you ask the same compatibility question if you were adding 2 queue managers hosted on Windows, Solaris or z/OS?
(If yes, then even as a newbie you need to re-read the docs)

Whichever ones you want - see both my answers above. There's no good reason why you couldn't have a cluster with 2 v7.5 queue managers and 2 v8 if that suited you.
Again, there's newbie and there's not read the documentation.

IBM PureApplication system isn't the same as a virtual AIX machine - why has that just turned up?
If you want to use Hypervisor, use Hypervisor. If you don't, don't.

It's what happened after rpm and VMware got drunk one night. They have joint custody, rpm pays support and has a visit every other weekend.

You must have misunderstood the judge. VMware has sole custody and rpm just has visitation rights...
