This topic describes the DB2 (DBMS) versions that are supported by Delphix, as well as the compatible operating systems (OS), for use on target and source environments.
Source, Staging and Target OS and DBMS Compatibility
The source, staging and target hosts must all be running the same DBMS/Operating System combination (for example, DB2 10.5.4 on RHEL 6.5) in order to successfully provision a VDB to the target.
