Hello @Anjali3

Looking at the error message maybe you can check the jvm.options file & see if there is any issue with the parameters causing this problem?

> Hi everyone. I'm trying to install Elasticsearch 7.12.1 on a server for a customer. The OS is Ubuntu Server 9.3.0-17 aka 20.04 (the LTS one). OpenJDK 16 included. This server is offline so I downloaded the deb package : elasticsearch-7.12.1-amd64.deb I installed it accoding to the following documentation : [Install Elasticsearch with Debian Package | Elasticsearch Guide [7.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.12/deb.html#install-deb) I then copied my version of elasticsearch.yml to /etc/elastic/ folder. Everything works fine until reach…

Thanks!!
