These are Terraform modules that deploy IBM MQ nodes on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. They are developed jointly by Oracle and IBM.
This Quick Start uses OCI Resource Manager to make deployment easy, sign up for an OCI account if you don't have one, and just click the button below:
Note, if you use this template to create another repo you'll need to change the link for the button to point at your repo.
First off you'll need to do some pre deploy setup. That's all detailed here.
Now that the prerequisites are out of the way, you'll want a local copy of this repo. You can make that with the commands:
$> git clone https://github.com/oracle-quickstart/oci-ibm-mq.git
$> cd oci-ibm-mq
$> ls
That should give you this:
Rename the provider.tf.cli
to provider.tf
:
$> mv provider.tf.cli provider.tf
We now need to initialize the directory with the module in it. This makes the module aware of the OCI provider. You can do this by running:
$> terraform init
This gives the following output:
Now for the main attraction. Let's make sure the plan looks good:
$> terraform plan
That gives:
If that's good, we can go ahead and apply the deploy:
$> terraform apply
You'll need to enter yes
when prompted. The apply should take two to three minutes. Once complete, you'll see something like this:
When the terraform apply
completes you can SSH into the one of the nodes of the IBM MQ cluster:
$> ssh -i ~/.ssh/oci opc@<public_ip_address>
Configuration is happening asyncronously, and is complete when cloud-init finishes. You can view status or debug deployments by investigating the cloud-init entries in the /var/log/messages
file:
$> sudo -i
$> cd /var/logs
$> grep cloud-init messages
Source the IBM MQ installation script and display the version of the IBMQ software:
$> . /opt/mqm/bin/setmqenv -s
$> dspmqver
Check the status of the active and standy nodes:
$> dspmq -x
When you no longer need the deployment, you can run this command to destroy it:
$> terraform destroy
You'll need to enter yes
when prompted. Once complete, you'll see something like this:
