All required network software that is supplied by your database system vendors must be 64-bit compliant.
A 64-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Java SE 8 or higher, is required. Also, you must set the library path environment variable of your operating system to the directory containing your JVM’s libjvm.so [a] file and that directory’s parent directory.
The library path environment variable is:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux, HP-UX Itanium, and Oracle Solaris
LIBPATH on AIX
See "Driver Requirements" for more details on JVM.
AIX
IBM POWER Processor
AIX 5L operating system, version version 5.3 fixpack 5 and higher, 6.1, and 7.1
An application compatible with components that were built using Visual Age C++ version 6.0.0.0 and the AIX native threading model
IBM SDK, JAVA Technology Edition, Version 6 Service Refresh 9 or higher
Before you can use the driver, you must set the LIBPATH environment variable to include the paths containing the libjvm.so library and the libnio.so library, which are installed in a subdirectory of your Java Development Kit (JDK). For example, you would add the following paths for Java 6 installed in the /usr directory:
In this example, /usr/java6_64/jre/lib/ppc64/classic is the location of libjvm.so, while /usr/java6_64/jre/lib/ppc64 is the location of libnio.so.
Note: The driver is compiled using the –brtl loader option. Your application must support runtime linking functionality.
HP-UX
HP-UX IPF 11i operating system, Versions 2 and 3 (B.11.23 and B.11.31)
HP aC++ v. 5.36 and the HP-UX 11 native (kernel) threading model (posix draft 10 threads)
Note: Do not link with the –lc linker option.
Note: Set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to the libjvm.so of your JVM installation.

x64: Intel and AMD
CentOS Linux 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x

Ubuntu Linux 14.04 and 16.04
For x64:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10.x, 11, and 12
An application compatible with components that were built using g++ GNU project C++ Compiler version 3.4 and the Linux native pthread threading model (Linuxthreads)
Oracle Solaris
The following processors are supported:
Oracle SPARC
x64: Intel and AMD
The following operating systems are supported:
For Oracle SPARC: Oracle Solaris 8, 9, 10, and 11.x
For x64: Oracle Solaris 10 and Oracle Solaris 11.x Express
For Oracle SPARC: An application compatible with components that were built using Sun Studio 11, C++ compiler version 5.8 and the Solaris native (kernel) threading model
For x64: An application compatible with components that were built using Sun C++ Compiler version 5.8 and the Solaris native (kernel) threading model
