JBoss Operations Network supported configurations

Every JBoss® Operations Network (JBoss ON) release is tested and certified on a variety of market-leading operating systems, Java™ Virtual Machines (JVMs), and database combinations.

Because we're not able to test every possible combination, this page describes what we consider to be fully supported configurations.

Red Hat® relies on the testing and certification process of the JVM to determine operating system compatibility. The following JVM version families, combined with an operating system that supports that JVM, are considered fully supported in a virtual or real environment.

Java Virtual Machine Version
JBoss Operations Network 3.0
Oracle JDK 1.6.x
OpenJDK 1.6.x
IBM JDK 1.6.x
JBoss Operations Network 2.4
Oracle JDK 1.6.x, 1.5.x (deprecated)
OpenJDK 1.6.x, 1.5.x (deprecated)
IBM JDK 1.6.x, 1.5.x (deprecated)

JBoss ON relies on native libraries for specific functionality with respect to Apache configuration management and performance management for CPU file systems and network devices. As such there may be platforms on which these features are not available or supported. The following operating system and chip architectures include full native support. Native libraries may be included for other operating systems and/or architectures but are not supported. This listing is updated from time to time as additional configurations are certified.

Note below for the native operating system that deprecated refers to native support. The OS itself may continue to be supported with an appropriate JVM.
