Hi Team,

We are trying to install DevOps Deploy AIX agent with AIX Java 21 version(FYI - Java 21 supports DevOps deploy agent version 8.1.0.0). But every time it fails with below error.

failed to open </tmp/java21/jre/lib/default/libjvm.so> - reason: <      0509-022 Cannot load module /tmp/java21/jre/lib/default/libjvm.so.

Failed to find VM - aborting

>Even when we try to check java version it fails with same error.

$ ./java -version

Kindly check this issue and provide a solution.

Hi Rishitha, 

What's the version of this AIX JDK21? Since `-version` doesn't work, please share the content of `release` within the `/tmp/java21` folder.

In addition, could you try RI - https://github.com/adoptium/temurin21-binaries/releases/download/jdk-21.0.5%2B11/OpenJDK21U-jdk_ppc64_aix_hotspot_21.0.5_11.tar.gz?

Regards,

Also, openj9_support states that AIX OpenJ9 builds require the XL C++ Runtime of 16.1.0.7 or later.

To clarify, the Reference Implementation (RI) AIX JDK21 link is an OpenJDK hotspot JVM built by a 3rd party Adoptium. It is a JVM without OpenJ9.

If the same error occurs on the hotspot, the problem might exist upstream, or there is a machine setup issue.

Hi Jason,

Hi Rishitha,

> If possible can you share the right file that can be used from the site https://developer.ibm.com/languages/java/semeru-runtimes/downloads/ so that we can make use of it in our Production upgrade.

Please follow the Semeru Runtimes support link -  https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/semeru-runtimes-support which also contains a link to the download site referred.

In the section Supported platforms -> Version 21 -> AIX systems, there is an operating system minimum level requirement: 

Important: IBM Semeru Runtimes, Version 17 on AIX require the 16.1.0.7 or later, XL C++ Runtime.

Regards,
