The matrices in this topic illustrate the compatibility between various versions of SQL Server software used for source, staging target, and provisioning target environments.

Source Environment OS Compatibility

Source environments can be running any supported Windows operating system version. There are no compatibility requirements between the source environment’s operating system and that on the target environments.

Staging and Provisioning Target Environment OS Compatibility Matrix

The operating system version on the target environment that will contain the virtual databases should be equal to or higher than that on the staging target. See Setting Up SQL Server Environments: An Overview for more information.

Provisioning to Higher SQL Versions When the Source is SQL Server 2005

For SQL Server 2005, direct provisioning to higher SQL Server versions is only supported for provisioning to SQL Server 2012 or higher. You can first provision a VDB to SQL Server 2005 and then upgrade it to a higher version by following the steps outlined in the topic Upgrading SQL Server VDBs.
