ARM CPU
HCL Domino is not compiled for ARM CPU’s and will not work on the following hardware
- Raspberry Pi
- Intel Atom CPU’s
- Amazon EC2 Graviton
There are several AHA ideas out there - please vote for them if you want HCL Domino to be supporting ARM CPU’s
- ARM version of Domino Server on Linux
- Domino on Docker in the ARM based Apple M1/M2/M3
- Domino Designer for ARM
How about Emulators?
We have tested running the x86 version of Domino on ARM CPU’s in compatibility mode. While it is somewhat possible, e.g. in a docker container, it is not fun to work with as performance is 10x slower.
Mainframe / zLinux / zOS
HCL Domino is not compiled for Mainframe CPUs and will NOT work on the following
- OS/390 - although older versions of Domino used to support z/OS, see this IBM Redbook
- IBM zLinux
- IBM LinuxOne
- IBM Telum
Please vote this idea if you want HCL Domino to be supporting Mainframes
