Jenkins AIX version

[Suri]

Hi,

 

We are planning to install Jenkins in AIX server. i don’t know AIX server Jenkins package is available or not.

Can anyone please suggest me, whether Jenkins installation is possible in AIX server or not.

As there is Java for AIX this shouldn't be a problem. You don't _have_
to use native packages.

Dear Steffen,

 

Thanks for your reply. could you please share the process of AIX  jenkins installation. it could be help us to install the jenkins in AIX platform

I deployed a jenkins slave to AIX, and it worked fine with a RHEL6 master….

 

As suggested as long as java is installed, you should be able to follow the generic unix/install, download the LTS release (WAR file).

 

Java –jar Jenkins.war

 

And go from there.

Thanks for your response. My current jenkins is running in Linux platform. This server is planning to deactivate. if i install jenkins in AIX server and copy my existing jenkins /var/jenkins/jobs folder  to AIX installed jenkins. will i get all my existing data without any issues?

Hi Suri,

 

The theory is sound, I’ve done similar things between Linux platforms without issues.

 

but I would test it first before your linux install is shutdown completely.

Hi David,

Could you tell me how deploy a Jenkins slave to AIX?

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 the IBM JDK1.6.0, I can connect to the AIX agent by using the command: ssh username@10.48.110.42,

But, Jenkins cannot connect to the AIX slave on the web page, you can get the error from the attachment.

Could you help me?  thanks!

0) since some months, Jenkins requires JDK 7 minimum. So using a JDK6 for 2.13 won't work on the master.

1) it's strongly recommended to have the same JVM version on master and agents (note: the "slave" term got deprecated in 2.x). Your error is probably related to that (maybe the ClassFormatError is because it's over remoting/serialization and why it's not a typical UnsupportedClassVersionError or something like that)

2) nothing special to do to add an agent on AIX apart from that.
If possible, simply go for a Jdk 8 everywhere. That's what we've set up and it works fine.
(Note: the JVM version to run an agent or master is unrelated to the ones usable in a build. And actually I personally generally recommend to not use the "default" JDK)

Cheers

Specifically, since May 2015 for weeklies, and October 2015 for LTS.

thank you very very very much!

Since I changed to jdk1.7, Jenkins worked fine.

You are right: the master and slave both install the jdk1.7 or above.
