End the queue manager by issuing the command: | | | | endmqm -i QMgrName | | | | 2. Check that the queue manager has ended. | | | | Use the command: | | | | endmqm -w QMgrName | | | | The message returning should show that the queue | | manager is not available. | | | | Alternatively, use the command: | | | | ps -ef | grep mq | | | | where | is the pipe symbol. Check that there are | | no processes listed that are running command | | lines commencing "amq" or "runmq". Ignore any | | that start with amqi. | | | | 3. Issue the IPCS -A command to identify any shared | | memory segments or semaphore sets that were | | created by MQSeries. Remove these using the | | IPCRM command. | | | +-------------------------------------------------------+ B) SPACE REQUIREMENTS ------------------ The installation process for this fix pack requires 25MB of disk space for installation. In addition, the installation process requires an additional 25MB of disk space to save the previous level. This allows a fix pack to be removed, and the previous level to be automatically restored. If disk space is limited, the backup can be suppressed by creating an empty flag file called MQPTF_NOSAVE in the directory "/var/adm/sw/patch". Note that if this option is used, the previous level will not be restored if a fix pack is removed. The only way to restore a previous level in this instance is to reinstall the product and then to reapply a previous fix pack image. C) APPLYING THE MAINTENANCE INFORMATION ------------------------------------ To apply the maintenance information: 1. Log in as root, or use the command su. 2. Use the SWINSTALL command to install the patch from the supplied medium. Details of the SWINSTALL command can be found in the HP-UX Administration Guide or by using the MAN SWINSTALL command. 3. If you have installed an MQI client from your MQSeries for HP-UX installation, and if one or more of these client components have been modified by installing an update, then you MUST specifically update your MQI client installation. D) RESTORING THE PREVIOUS SERVICE LEVEL ------------------------------------ To restore the previous service level: 1. Log in as root, or use the command su. 2. Use the SWREMOVE command to remove the patch from the system. For example, to remove patch "U486928" issue the following command: swremove MQSERIES.U486928 Details of the SWREMOVE command can be found in the HP-UX Administration Guide or by using the MAN SWREMOVE command. 3. If you have installed an MQI client, and the client was updated after installing the fix pack which is being removed, then you MUST specifically update your MQI client installation again, after the fix pack has been removed.
