Eucalyptus Java services include the CLC, UFS, OSG, Walrus, and SC.
For the supported version of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), see the Compatibility Matrix in the Release Notes.
As of Eucalyptus 4.3, JVM 8 is required. Eucalyptus RPM packages require
java-1.8.0-openjdk, which will be installed automatically.
Note: If your network mode is VPCMIDO, MidoNet will install JVM 1.7 as a dependency
(it is acceptable to have both JVM 1.7 and JVM 1.8 installed).
To
use Java with Eucalyptus cloud:
-
Open the /etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf file.
-
Verify that the CLOUD_OPTS setting does not set
--java-home, or that
--java-home points to a supported JVM
version.
Note: Although it is possible to set --java-home, we do not recommend
it unless there is a specific reason to do so.
-
If you are upgrading to Eucalyptus 4.3,
note that Java 8 does not have permanent generation memory. Remove any
JAVA_OPTS MaxPermSize settings at upgrade time.
-
Save and close the file.
-
Repeat on each host machine that will run a Eucalyptus
service.
