The client library for arm64 is probably more urgent than running the MQ Server although an arm64 container is already available, why hasn't IBM released the client lib for arm64?? seems pretty simple, so why is this not available even if experimental ??
Is there a version of the MQ client binaries that work with Mac M1? This download appears to be the server only, but maybe I'm missing it.
Thanks,
Jim
For instructions on building a container image for Arm64 Macs see: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/integration/blogs/richard-coppen/2023/06/30/ibm-mq-9330-container-image-now-available-for-appl
I created an image for mac mehmetserefoglu/ibm-ibm-mqadvanced-server-mac:9.3.3.0-arm64. You can pull and try.
Status of this ticket is changed to Delivered.
Does it mean it's available for Mac M1? from comments looks like it still isn't.
Hi Mark Taylor
is there any guide on how to install and run this on Macbook M1 ?
The container-specific “no-install” version of MQ Advanced for Developers 9.3.3 is now available for Linux containers on Apple Silicon (arm64). See https://ibm.biz/mqdevlinuxarm64noninstall
There’s no pre-built container, but you can build your own image using the github.com/ibm-messaging/mq-container sample.
When is this going to be fixed. its preventing us from using MQ
This is still blocking our ability to use MQ. Is there an ETA from IBM?
I used this one: https://medium.com/@thejackyhuang/mq-dev-on-m1-with-utm-8b3c90403ef8 in case UTM is allowed on your Mac, otherwise I'd suggest to run a containerised shared MQ version someone in a k8s cluster serving as a MQaaS model for dev purpose.
Just interesting - we are seeing exactly the same issue when running a DB2 v11.5.8.0 image on an M1 MacBook.
So one year passed an nothing happened ... not good. I would like to mention that the image cannot be run in emulation mode as it gives you this:

Other images have no problem with emulation but IBM somehow managed to be special here ... please fix this or we are forced to move to another MQ :/
Docker for mac has now added beta support to run x86 images via rosetta, I was wondering if this changes anything and tried it out. Unfortunately it still fails but with a different issue:
2023-01-13T09:18:17.522Z Error -1 creating queue manager: assertion failed [metadata->shmid == kInvalidShmID]: splitting a shared memory entry not supported
With a bit of luck maybe this is something that is easier to fix than the previous error message?Still awaiting news on this. IBM MQ is required for integrations with older institutions, no way around it. It's a big pain to swap to a different OS just to build a small MQ service.
Please, update this.
We're using new macbook chipset and this container doesn't work anymore.
Can you build this for Apple Silicon chipsets?
Any news IBM?
Kafka became strongly considered as an alternative in our architecture mainly because of the community support.
The M1 is two years old now and it is still not working. Looks like bad faith from IBM, it's probably less than a week of effort to make it work, but since it is closed source, there is nothing we can do but wait...
How many votes are required to implement this plan?
Please, any update on the MQ MacOS Toolkit for M1 processors?
I've worked out a way to get MQ running on M1 macs and Podman. Here's a link to the IBM Community Blogpost detailing the steps you need to follow to get it working. Performance is slow but it works so hopefully good enough for dev work
