Jenkins on AIX Installation

[nk13...@gmail.com]

I am new to the Jenkins, Can we install Jenkins on AIX server? If so, can someone post the actual process. I am trying to download package for AIX in Jenkins-ci website, i don't find it.

We used to do that some years ago, so basically yeah, there should be no reason it's not possible to run Jenkins on AIX.  Though 

Rephrased with less negative-negations :-) : yes, it should definitely work, though we don't run our master on AIX anymore (since at least 5 years I'd say). But we still do have an agent running on AIX for those poor projects having still to support AIX targets.

I don't think you'll find any native packaging for AIX for smit and the likes, but installing a JDK 8 (or 7) and running the .war should work without much effort (this is how we were doing it).

My 2 cents

Cheers

I'd phrase it differently than Baptiste.  Since AIX has a JDK, you can most likely run Jenkins on it.  However, there are far more people in the world running their Jenkins masters on Linux or Windows than on AIX (or hp-ux or Irix or Solaris).  If you want the best chance for help from others, you should consider putting your master on one of the commonly used platforms (I prefer Debian or Ubuntu Linux), with a slave on the more specialized machines (like AIX or hp-ux or ...)

Hi there,

I install the jenkins 2.13(by installing jenkins.war into tomcat) in a redhat OS, and I want to connect to a AIX 6.1 agent, the AIX agent uses a IBM JDK1.6.0,

I can connect to the AIX agent by using the command: ssh username@10.48.110.42,

But, Jenkins can't cannot connect to the AIX slave, you can get the error from the attachment.

Could eveyone help me?  thanks!

Its been a while since I’ve done development on AIX, but here goes:

 

You are using IBM jdk-1.6.0 to run the slave.  Can someone confirm that jre-1.7 is now the minimum requirement, and jdk-1.8 is strongly preferred due to some plugin requirements?

Yes, JRE 1.7 is now required for slaves/agents. I don't know about the 1.8 recommendation.

thanks for reply.
for the master of jenkins 2.0 the jre-1.7 is the minimum requirement, but for the slave the jdk-1.6 is OK, and I will try to change the version to ibm jdk-1.7, the collegues use the jdk1.6 to deploy the software in the testing enviroment in the company.
