Migrating to WebSphere MQ V6.0 using RPM upgrade tools

 

The use of RPM upgrade tools to migrate directly from an earlier version of WebSphere MQ to WebSphere MQ V6.0 is not supported.

If you have already tried to upgrade WebSphere MQ using rpm -U or rpm -F, you might have deleted your old WebSphere MQ package entries from the RPM database without removing the product from your system. You might also have partially installed WebSphere MQ V6.0.

To continue upgrading to WebSphere MQ V6.0, follow these steps:

1. Find out which WebSphere MQ packages still have entries in your RPM database using rpm -qa | grep MQSeries?.

2. Remove all remaining WebSphere MQ packages of any level from your system using rpm -e <package-name>.

3. Remove the /opt/mqm directory by typing rm -rf /opt/mqm.

4. Install WebSphere MQ V6.0 using the instructions given in Installing a WebSphere MQ server if you are installing a server, or Installing a WebSphere MQ client if you are installing a client.
