Is Elasticsearch also supported on AIX and HP Itanium 11.31. I didn't find this information in release notes or installation instructions.

Depends what you mean by supported. I have seen comments of people running it on AIX, but I don't think it is officially supported.

Basically, I am integrating the Elasticsearch as a search engine in our product which is supported on AIX, HP itanium as well. So, I need to run the elasticsearch as a standalone java application on AIX (64 bit - 6.1 and 7.1) and other platforms. Could you suggest me how I can achieve it (any work around by compiling the libraries etc.) There was similar ask @ [Include Sigar libs for AIX · Issue #1805 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/1805). Is Zen discovery module is based on Sigar or some OS independent libraries ? It appears that ES supports - Linux, win, Mac, solaris (and not AIX, HP itanium), so I am looking of some workaround, like compiling libraries of AIX, HP :- [image: Inline image 1] On Fri, Nov 21, 2014 at 1:23 AM, Mark Walkom [markwalkom@gmail.com](mailto:markwalkom@gmail.com) wrote: > Depends what you mean by supported. > > I have seen comments of people running it on AIX, but I don't think it is > officially supported. > > On 21 November 2014 00:37, Gaurav gupta [gupta.gaurav0125@gmail.com](mailto:gupta.gaurav0125@gmail.com) > wrote: > > > Is Elasticsearch also supported on AIX and HP Itanium 11.31.

All in all, it should work. Sigar is totally optional. You may miss some OS metrics in the API but that is all. More critical is IBM support for Java 7 and soon Java 8 on AIX. For HP UX, HP offers Java 7/8 support. Use at least Elasticsearch 1.3 (better 1.4) to avoid bugs due to sun.misc.Unsafe usage in past ES versions.
