Rebecca - In our case we only reboot non OS390 servers when they lock up. This is not an MQSeries issue but a Windows or application issue. I have some Win2000 servers that have ONLY MQSeries on them and they have been up for one year yesterday. Your post reminded me to look at them and everything is just fine. The OS390 QMGRS are only taken down for maintenance or IPL and this is not often. I am not familiar with Sun Solaris so cannot comment on them Dave

The subject sort of asks the basic question... Here are some more details. We run MQSeries on multiple Sun Solaris boxes. Most boxes are running Solaris 2.8. Some MQ servers are at V5.2 and some at V5.3 (and one lone box is still running V5.1). Some are rebooted fairly frequently and some have been up for months. In many cases, MQSeries server is the only software running on the box, although some development servers also run other stuff. What I'd like is some feel for how frequently others reboot their boxes. Some time back, we had an issue where the resolution from IBM was to reboot the box. So, I thought scheduling regular reboots on those boxes that don't currently have them would not be a bad idea , but wondered how often.
