Source and Target OS and DBMS Compatibility
- Source and Target must have the same major Oracle version and Edition (Enterprise/Standard). It is recommended to also have the same minor versions and patches.
- If the minor version (specified with the second digit with Oracle version 18+, or the dated patch level with Oracle version 12.2) or patches differ between the source and target, then a plug-in violation will be received when opening the vPDB on the target, and will need to run datapatch manually or via a hook to resolve it.
- Source and Target operating systems must be compatible. E.g., AIX -> AIX, Solaris SPARC -> Solaris SPARC, x86_64 Linux -> x86_64 Linux.
- In addition, x86_64 Solaris -> x86_64 Linux and x86_64 Linux -> x86_64 Solaris is supported.
Oracle 10.2.0.4
The Delphix Engine does not support Oracle 10.2.0.4 databases using Automatic Storage Management (ASM) that do not have the patch set for Oracle Bug 7207932. This bug is fixed in patch set 10.2.0.4.2 onward.
Disclaimers and Support Notes
Due to some specific ExaCC platform characteristics, Delphix provides controlled support for the ExaCC platform, which requires additional verification. Please contact your Delphix representative to start your qualification process.
Delphix Support Policies specifically list major and minor release coverage. If a minor release is listed as covered, all patch releases under that minor release are certified. Support applies to corresponding versions of Community Enterprise Operating System (CentOS) / Oracle Linux (OL), 64-bit OS support only.
The Oracle version in the support matrix applies to both Oracle DB and Oracle Grid. Delphix supports the same set of features and functionality for supported non-multitenant database versions. Delphix does not currently support the Oracle 12c feature of THREADED_EXECUTION being set to TRUE, because this disables OS authentication.
Summary of Delphix features that are unsupported for the Oracle12c and higher Multi-tenant configuration:
- Existing Virtual Container Database (vCDB) as target for provisioning an additional vPDB
- Customize VDB settings/initialization parameters. Includes the following:
- Customize init.ora database parameter during provisioning
- Config templates
- Online redo log size
- Number of RAC VDB instances
- Online redo log groups
- Archive log mode
- Setting new DBID
- Customize local listeners
- Virtual to Physical (V2P) Support
- For vPDBs in non-virtual CDBs, automatic restart on target server reboot
- Resumable initial SnapSync
- Validated Sync
- Source continuity for dSource upgraded from Oracle 12c non-multitenant to multitenant database
- Cross-platform provisioning (XPP) to the virtual database
- Oracle LiveSources
