DB2 Compatibility Matrix 
Delphix Administration / DB2 Environments and Data Sources / DB2 Support and Requirements / DB2 Compatibility Matrix 

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.

Different fix packs of the same DB2 versions across source, staging, and target are supported with the following exceptions :

  1. Source on 10.0.5.x, Staging on 10.0.5.4, where x is greater than 4. This can be fixed by validating the invalid packages on Staging.

  2. Staging on 10.0.5.x, Target on 10.0.5.4, where x is higher than 4

  3. Source on 11.1.2.2, Staging on 11.1.1.1

  4. Staging on 11.1.2.2, Target on 11.1.1.1

  5. Source on 11.1.1.1, Staging on 11.1.2.2 (HADR Scenario)

  6. Source on 11.1.1.1, Staging on 11.1.3.3 (HADR Scenario)

  7. Source on 10.5.0.9, Staging on 10.5.0.5 (HADR Scenario)

  8. Source on 10.5.0.9, Staging on 10.5.0.8 (HADR Scenario)
