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?

Subject: Re: Jenkins on AIX Installation

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<mailto: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!

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 ...)

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 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.
