About this task
For the latest information about version numbers and supported
environments, see the system requirements information on the
IBM Support web
pages.
When you are running
IBM Integration Bus in
a Docker container, you can build your own Docker images or you can
use the samples that are provided. Note the following requirements:
- You must use Docker v1.7 or higher.
- The Docker guest must be an IBM Integration Bus supported
operating system.
- The host on which the Docker container is running must use a Linux
kernel at level 3.10 or later.
- IBM Integration Bus has no specific requirements
for kernel configuration parameters, but other supporting products
such as IBM MQ might have additional requirements.
- If you intend to use IBM Integration Bus with
IBM MQ, you must also adhere to the MQ Docker system requirements.
For more information, see the latest IBM MQ documentation.
- As advised in the Docker documentation, if you want data that
is related to IBM Integration Bus to be persisted
independently of the container lifecycle, you must ensure that it
is stored on a Docker volume. For more information, see
https://docs.docker.com/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/.
- To receive IBM support, you must have the following:
- A means of capturing syslog messages.
- A means of running commands against the running node; for example,
by using docker exec bash -c mqsilist with the mqsiprofile
set on login, or through ssh.
- Access to the workpath directories, for diagnostic purposes.
