    I'm planning to upgrade IBM MQ 9.1 to IBM MQ 9.3, I'll be using smit utility for this task, appreciate if any guided steps could be share. There are ibm documentation links for the same , but they are more focused on linux. Appreciate guidance for the upgrade on AIX.

    Regards,

    Hello Muhammad:
    You can use the following tutorial.
    .
    Even though the title of the following tutorial says MQ 9.0 and 9.1, the instructions apply to all versions (MQ 9.0 LTS, MQ 9.0 CD, MQ 9.1 LTS, MQ 9.1 CD, MQ 9.2 LTS, MQ 9.2 CD, MQ 9.3 LTS, MQ 9.3 CD)
    .
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6415777
    Upgrading in AIX from MQ 9.0.0.1 to MQ 9.1.0.0 LTS
    .
    The chapters are:
    Chapter 1: How to get the installation images
    Chapter 2: Take a backup of the queue manager data and recovery logs
    Chapter 3: Uninstalling MQ 9.0
    Chapter 4: Installing MQ 9.1.0.0 LTS
    Chapter 5: Running setmqenv to use MQ 9.1 commands
    Chapter 6: Creating a queue manager under 9.1
    Chapter 7: Upgrading an existing queue manager to MQ 9.1
    .
    NOTE about upgrading: In AIX and in Windows, it is NOT necessary to uninstall the current version of MQ before you install the new version. However, there is nothing gained in keeping the current version: if you keep it, the OS will actually make a backup into another directory in the disk, and thus, you will not be saving time nor disk space. Thus, my recommendation is to uninstall MQ 9.0 which will free up the directory /usr/mqm and then install MQ 9.2 on /usr/mqm.
    .
    .

    For MQ 9.3: From IBM Passport Advantage you can download the manufacturing refresh:
    MQ 9.3.0.10 LTS that includes 9.3.0.0 + 9.3.0.1 + 9.3.0.2 + ... + 9.3.0.10
    Visit IBM Passport Advantage:
    https://www.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage/pao_customer.html
    ... search for Part Number for the single package that includes the queue manager, client and the rest of the components (except the MQ Explorer).
    M0DFKML IBM MQ 9.3.0.10 Long Term Support Release for AIX Multilingual eImage
    .
    I hope that this is helpful.
    Thank you for using IBM products!
