Solr's start scripts were designed for the OS tools found on recent versions of free operating systems like Linux, FreeBSD, etc. When the system tools are proprietary, which is typical of systems like AIX, there's a chance that Solr's scripts will not work right. Another possible problem is that AIX most likely includes IBM's Java. IBM's Java is strongly discouraged -- that JVM has bugs that show up when running Lucene/Solr. https://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/JavaBugs#IBM_J9_Bugs One user trying to run on Solr on AIX had some problems that were documented in Jira. These problems were due to differences between IBM's Java and the other major implementations -- Oracle and OpenJDK. You definitely should install Oracle or OpenJDK and set the JAVA_HOME variable. I would recommend the latest 1.8 version. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7924 Thanks, Shawn
