Skid, if you want to have multiple installations, you can do that, but the secondary installations will have to be in non-traditional locations.
Please see the notes in the IBM Documentation site here:
Upgrading an IBM MQ installation on Linux using the rpm command particularly step 5.
Essentially, you need to create packages for each new install and put them in separate locations so each set of rpm packages isn't interfering with the others.

I went ahead and removed all of the MQ 9.1 RPM's and then installed 9.2 and that worked, but going forward I would like to perform a side by side install if possible? However if removing the existing RPM's work then that it fine, it did keep my original 9.1 MQ object definitions.

Subject: Updating MQ Linux server to 9.2
I have a test/dev Linux server running 9.1 FP10, I want to update to 9.2, but get an error:
ERROR: This package is not applicable to the MQ installation at /opt/mqm
Do I need to uninstall the current version before I update to 9.2? Or can I just update the RPM's with the latest files?
Thanks.
