Velocity Software Compatibility List (SCL) 2.9 Updated on November 09, 2017 Copyright 2017 Veritas Technologies LLC. All rights reserved.

Introduction This document lists the available operating systems, platforms, and applications specifically supported by Veritas to be compatible with Velocity 2.9. The following guidelines regarding this Software Compatibility List (SCL) should be understood: Veritas support of 3rd party manufacturer products: Veritas will cooperate with 3rd party vendors and attempt to assist in the diagnosis of problems found between the 3rd party products and Veritas products. Veritas Technical Support, for the combination of Veritas and 3rd party products listed in this document, is conditional on the 3rd party product being supported by the original manufacturer or vendor. If the original vendor has ceased providing support for a version of their product, Veritas also will no longer be able to provide support on that product in combination with our products. Minor update version support: The contents of this document including 3rd-party applications, databases, operating systems, in combination with Veritas products represent what has been tested in Veritas labs, or in Veritas-supervised partner labs, but is not intended to be a complete list of supported products and versions. Manufacturers of these products may frequently release minor version updates to their products as maintenance during their product's normal life cycle. (for example, version 1.x.x.x) that may not be explicitly listed in this document. In these situations, where the base or major version of the product is listed as supported in this document but the minor maintenance update is not, Veritas will provide "reasonable effort" support on these versions until specific testing of them has completed. Not every combination of software and hardware has been tested: Veritas provides reasonable effort to qualify Velocity with as many different operating systems, service packs, hardware platforms, database application service packs, and other applications as possible. However, due to the number of combinations, it is not possible to test all combinations for compatibility. If a particular service pack or version is not listed as specifically supported by Veritas, it may work fine but it has not been explicitly tested by Veritas with Velocity and may not be eligible for support. Alternative Configurations: Our Licensed Software is designed to interoperate with many types of systems, applications, and hardware. Sometimes a customer may choose to use our Licensed Software in an "Alternative Configuration", namely, an environment that has not been validated, approved, or verified to operate with our Licensed Software or which does not support such Licensed Software or only supports limited functionality. Veritas does not support Alternative Configurations, and we have no obligation to provide Support Services to Licensed Software in an Alternative Configuration. Veritas makes no warranty with respect to use of Licensed Software in an Alternative Configuration and any such use is at your own risk. A "Supported Configuration" might be converted into an Alternative Configuration where a vendor modifies one of its components that is part of the original Supported Configuration. As a consequence, your Licensed Software would then be operating in an Alternative Configuration. If you experience a problem with the Licensed Software in an Alternative Configuration or if your issue deals with script that was not developed by Veritas or an authorized consulting partner, then we may ask you to reproduce the problem in a Supported Configuration environment. Please note we have no obligation to attempt to resolve problems that cannot be replicated in a Supported Configuration. However, if the problem can be replicated in a Supported Configuration, we will investigate the problem in that Supported Configuration and attempt to resolve it. If the problem cannot be replicated in a Supported Configuration, then Veritas has no obligation to investigate or attempt to resolve the problem.

System for using a virtual machine for the Velocity Storage Sever Before you set up the Velocity Storage Server in a virtual environment, ensure that the virtual machine and the vsphere or Hyper-V host meet the following requirements: The Velocity Storage Server must be able to accept incoming TCP connections. For more information, see "Required and optional ports for Velocity" in Velocity help. The Velocity Storage Server only supports the use of one network interface controller (NIC) on the eth1 interface. The VCPU or RAM requirements vary based on the storage size of the Velocity Storage Server.

Supported Source Configurations Velocity supports the following versions and operating systems and configurations. Note: Support for Oracle RAC deployment types for both 11g and 12c is limited to administrator-managed deployments. Supported Oracle versions and operating systems Supported Oracle version Oracle Database 11g release 2 Oracle database 12c Supported operating systems Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x and x64 CPU architecture Oracle Linux 6.7 and later Oracle Linux 7.x CentOS 6 and 7 Solaris 10 and 11 SPARC systems Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 and later Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x Oracle Linux 6.7 and later Oracle Linux 7.x Solaris 10 and 11 SPARC systems Note: To create a sandbox on an Oracle Database 12 C host server, the patch 19404068-ORA-1610 ON RECOVER DATABASE FOR CREATED CONTROLFILE is required on the host server. Note: Oracle 12c multitenant container databases (CDB) and pluggable databases (PDB) are supported with Velocity 2.8. Ingestion is supported only for whole CDB databases with all contained PDBs. A sandbox created from a CDB contains all of the PDBs that were contained in the CDB when it was ingested. page 7, Supported Source Configurations 2017 Veritas Technologies LLC / 2017-11-09
Supported Oracle conversions Database Source Sandbox Single-Instance Single-Instance RAC RAC Single-Instance RAC Single-instance RAC When you ingest an Oracle database source into Velocity, the copy of the database uses the same storage type as the database source. If the database source is hosted on ASM storage, you can convert to file system storage. To convert to file system storage, set the 'Storage Type' option to 'FS' in the ingest_options.json file before you run the ingest. See: For more information, see "Editing default options for the ingest method for Oracle databases" in Velocity help. Supported SQL versions and operating systems SQL Server 2008 R2 Supported SQL version All Windows versions supported by SQL Server 2008 R2 Supported operating systems SQL Server 2012 All Windows versions supported by SQL Server 2012 SQL Server 2014 All Windows versions supported by SQL Server 2014 SQL Server 2016 All Windows versions supported by SQL Server 2016 Note: You can use Velocity to ingest SQL Server databases that are in an Always On availability group environment by configuring a database source to ingest a database from a specific replica. However, Velocity is unaware of availability group backup preferences and does not interact with the availability group while ingesting the database. You can create a sandbox from a database copy, but you cannot create a sandbox directly in an availability group. page 8, Supported Source Configurations, Supported Oracle conversions 2017 Veritas Technologies LLC / 2017-11-09
