WebSphere® Message Broker is supported on multiple processors.
The hardware requirements for each supported operating system are given in the following table. All support statements assume that the stated systems can run the required level of a compatible operating system and have enough storage for the WebSphere Message Broker components that you install, and all prerequisite products.
Operating system | Requirements1 |
---|---|
AIX® | 64-bit IBM® System p systems |
HP-Itanium | Itanium systems |
Linux on POWER® | 64-bit System i® and System p IBM POWER processor-based systems only |
Linux on x86 | IBM eserver System x or equivalent Intel-based servers3 |
Linux on x86-64 | AMD64, EM64T, or compatible processor servers3 |
Linux on IBM z Systems | Any server capable of running one of the supported |
Solaris on SPARC | Sun Microsystems SPARC processor servers |
Solaris on x86-64 | AMD64, EM64T, and compatible processor servers |
Windows 32-bit | Windows x86 technology-compatible PC hardware3 |
Windows 64-bit | AMD64, EM64T, or compatible processor servers3 |
z/OS®4 | Any server capable of running one of the supported z/OS releases |
- Always check the WebSphere Message
Broker Requirements website
and the readme.html file for the latest information
about supported processors.
The readme.html file that is supplied on the product CD or DVD (for all components) provides a minimum level of information, and directs you to the online file on the product readmes web page, which is updated regularly. Always use the online file to check that you have the latest level of information.
- You can use AIX systems only if they have passed a set of verification tests for compliance with the AIX application binary and programming interfaces.
- The WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit is supported
on 32-bit and 64-bit systems. It requires a computer with an Intel Pentium III processor (or higher) that has
a speed of at least 700 MHz. This specification is the minimum supported
level; for improved performance use a 2-GHz processor.
A minimum display resolution of at least 1024 x 768 is required for some dialogs (for example, the Preferences dialog).
- For further information, see the Program Directory for WebSphere Message Broker for z/OS on the WebSphere Message Broker Library web page.
