Hey all..

I intend to run the IBM provide MQ Docker Image at below path
through Kubernetes.

https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmcom/mq/

I have my Kubernetes Cluster setup with 1 Master and 2 Worker Nodes on Amazon Linux Machines in my AWS Account. The Kubernetes POD with MQ Container gets deployed without any errors. The thing is when I deploy my MQ POD I can't run MQ commands within the container :

Below is the error after I exec into my MQ Container :

[ec2-user@ip-172-31-83-249 ~]$ docker exec -it 2265faa9da06 /bin/bash
(mq:9.1.1.0)root@podnate:/# dspmq
2 - 'No such file or directory' from /var/mqm/mqs.ini
(mq:9.1.1.0)root@podnate:/#
(mq:9.1.1.0)root@podnate:/# dspmqver
AMQ7047E: An unexpected error was encountered by a command. Reason code is 0.
(mq:9.1.1.0)root@podnate:/#
(mq:9.1.1.0)root@podnate:/# su - mqm
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
$ dspmqver
AMQ7047E: An unexpected error was encountered by a command. Reason code is 0.
$
$ dspmq
2 - 'No such file or directory' from /var/mqm/mqs.ini
$
$ ls -rlt /var/mqm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Dec 10 11:13 /var/mqm -> /mnt/mqm/data
$
$ ls -rlt /mnt/mqm/data
ls: cannot access '/mnt/mqm/data': No such file or directory
$


Below is my Pod Definition yaml file :

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: podnate
labels:
purpose: demonstrate-envars
spec:
containers:
- name: mymqimage
image: ibmcom/mq:latest
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
env:
- name: LICENSE
value: "accept"
- name: MQ_QMGR_NAME
value: "HELLO"
command: [ "/bin/bash", "-c", "--" ]
args: [ "while true; do sleep 30; done;" ]

Obviously you need to have /opt/mqm or the equivalent on your image. Looks like it is not there...
At the same time you need /var/mqm to be external and mounted every time the pod gets deployed and before the qmgr gets started...

Have fun

"Obviously you need to have /opt/mqm or the equivalent on your image. Looks like it is not there..."

-->The /opt/mqm directory is properly created within the Image. If I display the /opt/mqm dir in list format , I can see proper output :

(mq:9.1.1.0)root@podnatee:/var# ls -rlt /opt/mqm

"At the same time you need /var/mqm to be external and mounted every time the pod gets deployed"

I updated the yml file to mount the /mnt/mqm inside the container to a path on the host server (/var/example) . It failed with same error. Reason to mount /mnt/mqm rather than /var/mqm is available in the below link :

https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mq-container/issues/74

(/var/mqm is soft-linked to /mnt/mqm/data by default within container

(mq:9.1.1.0)root@podnatee:/mnt/mqm# ls -rlt /var/mqm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Dec 10 11:13 /var/mqm -> /mnt/mqm/data
)

Updated YML file :

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: podnate
labels:
purpose: demonstrate-envars
spec:
volumes:
- name: task-pv-storage
hostPath:
path: /var/example
containers:
- name: mymqimage
image: ibmcom/mq:latest
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: "/mnt/mqm"
name: task-pv-storage
env:
- name: LICENSE
value: "accept"
- name: MQ_QMGR_NAME
value: "HELO"
command: [ "/bin/bash", "-c", "--" ]
args: [ "while true; do sleep 30; done;" ]

Error : Same as last case.

(mq:9.1.1.0)root@podnatee:/var#
(mq:9.1.1.0)root@podnatee:/var# dspmq
2 - 'No such file or directory' from /var/mqm/mqs.ini

Not sure what went wrong there but using helm charts resolved that issue for me.
