2.3. Operating System

OpenDJ software depends on the Java environment more than it depends on the underlying operating system. That said, OpenDJ 4.8.1-SNAPSHOT has been validated on the following operating systems.

  • Apple Mac OS X 10.7, 10.8

  • Linux 2.6 and later

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012

  • Oracle Solaris 11 x86

In order to avoid directory database file corruption after crashes or power failures on Linux systems, enable file system write barriers and make sure that the file system journaling mode is ordered. For details on how to enable write barriers and how to set the journaling mode for data, see the options for your file system in the mount command manual page.
