Supported operating systems and database versions for SAP ASE
Source and Target OS and DBMS Compatibility
The source and target must be running the same Operating System combination. The Operating System platform must be the same between the source and target, even when the operating system version may differ. For example, if the source is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 x86_64 then the target could be running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 x86_64, but not Solaris 10 SPARC.
The source and target can be running the same DBMS version or the target ASE instance can have a higher DBMS version, (although users can run different patch/sp levels) in order to successfully provision a VDB to the target. For example, if the source is running SAP ASE 15.7 SP140, the target can be running ASE 15.7 SP138 or ASE 16.0 SP03.
If the target is used as a staging server, the source and target must be running the same DBMS combination, although users can run different patch/sp levels (prior to Delphix 5.2.5.0, the staging server had to match the source server's version down to the SP level). For example, if the source is running SAP ASE 16.0 SP03 PL03, the target can be running ASE 16.0 SP03 PL06. However, for ASE 15.7 the versions of the source and target should both be in the 15.7 SP100 to 15.7 SP140 or 15.7 ESD#1 to 15.7 SP64 ranges. There can be no mixing of versions between these two ranges.
Delphix 5.2.5.0 and higher relaxes Delphix's version checking of the staging instance. ASE itself may or may not allow the MOUNT command to work between versions. Be sure to check that the UNMOUNT and MOUNT commands work between your desired ASE versions.
So for example, if we upgrade the ASE staging instance to ASE 15.7 SP140 but we keep the ASE instance hosting the VDBs at ASE 15.7 SP135, we would want to make sure that we can UNMOUNT a database from ASE 15.7 SP140 and then MOUNT it on ASE 15.7 SP135:
isql -Usa -Psybase -SASE157SP140 1> UNMOUNT DATABASE testdb to "/tmp/manifest" 2> GO isql -Usa -Psybase -S ASE157SP135 1> MOUNT DATABASE testdb from "/tmp/manifest" 2> go Msg 14580, Level 16, State 1: Server 'ASE157SP135', Line 1: You cannot mount the database(s) because at least one database contains functionality that is available only on the server on which it originated.
In the above example, ASE would not allow the database "testdb" to be mounted on the older release of ASE.
Required HP-UX patch for target servers
PHNE_37851 - resolves a known bug in HP-UX NFS client prior to HP-UX 11.31.
Delphix Support Policies specifically list Major and Minor release coverage. If a minor release is listed as covered, then all patch releases under that minor release are certified.
