My old server (x86 64-bit) that I had SUSE on it has been giving me headaches for several years. Many years ago, the hard drive crashed when I had SLES 11 SP2 installed on it. So, I replaced the hard drive with a new hard drive and install SLES 12 SP3. Everything was great for several years. Last Summer, SLES crashed several times for some unknown reason and it would only boot into text mode (no GUI) which was fine since I rarely use the GUI on the actual server. Just before Christmas, it stopped booting all together. I’m fed up with that server and its time for it to go to the electronics recycler!!
I have a relatively new Windows server that I was barely using, so I decided to install SLES 15 SP5 on it. The server has Intel Core i9-9900K, 32GB RAM and Samsung NVMe 2TB SSD. It was reasonable fast with Windows on it but with SLES 15 and IBM MQ v9.3.4.0, it’s a rocket.
I was curious how fast MQ was running on SLES 15, so I decided to use the Ping Queue Manager tool from MQ Visual Edit to test the queue manager on the SLES server. I have the Ping Queue Manager tool running on my Windows 11 desktop PC over a Gigabit network to the SLES 15 server running MQ 9.3.4.0. Here’s what it claims the MQ on SLES can do:
Yup, that’s pretty fast!!!
