Solaris SPARC 64 bit slaves get broken JDK from auto-installer

XMLWordPrintable

      Using version 1.509.4

      The JDK installer is configured to download JDKs from "java.sun.com"
      We have different types of slaves in the cluster: Linux 32/64-bit, Windows, Solaris amd64, Solaris SPARC v9.

      As notices in the Oracle's documentation[1], "Installing the 64-bit JRE for the Solaris operating system on SPARC, x64, and EM64T platforms is a two-step process."

      • First one downloads and installs 32-bit archive (98 MB in case of JDK7u45 for Solaris SPARC [2])
      • Then the 32->64 delta should be downloaded and installed into the same dir (18MB in case of JDK7u45 for Solaris SPARC 64-bit [2])

      Looks like Jenkins performs only the second part of this recipe. Here is what we have in the Solaris-SPARC-64-bit slave's log:

      The "java" executable was not created because the downloaded archive did not contain it.

          [JENKINS-20299] Solaris SPARC 64 bit slaves get broken JDK from auto-installer

          Alexander Shusherov added a comment -

          The workaround is to "cook" the 64-bit jdk for Solaris-SPARC-64 manually:

          • download Solaris SPARC 32-bit archive and the "delta" archive
          • unpack both to some dir
          • pack the whole dir back to jdk-solaris-64.tar.gz (this should be renamed later)

          And place this archive to the jdks-cache on master. For JDK7u45 this will be:

          • <JENKINS_HOME>/cache/jdks/SOLARIS/Sparc/jdk-7u45-oth-JPR (no "tar.gz" extension)

          This way you will propagate the "fixed" JDK to all Solaris-SPARC-64 executors in your cluster (don't forget to remove the existing installations of "broken" JDKs on your slaves at <JENKINS_HOME>/tools/hudson.model.JDK/JDK_7u45 (the example given is for JDK7u45).
