MOS的文档:RMAN Compatibility Matrix [ID 73431.1]
The RMAN environment can contain thefollowing components:
(1) RMAN executable
(2) IT科技资讯 iis7站长之家 catalog database
(3) Recovery catalog schema in therecovery catalog database
(4) Target database
(5) auxiliary database (used forduplicate, duplicate for standby or tablespace point-in-time recovery)
Each componenthas a release number. Oracle uses up to 5 digits, but only up to 4 aresignificant for RMAN compatibility purposes.
Examples:10.1.0.4, 9.2.0.6, 8.1.7.4
In general, the rules of RMAN compatibilityare as follows:
(1) The RMAN executable versionshould be the same as the target database. Legal exception combinations arelisted in Table B-1.
(2) The RMAN catalog schema versionmust be greater than or equal to the RMAN executable.
(3) The RMAN catalog is backwardscompatible with target databases from earlier releases.
Table B-1 RMAN Compatibility Table
Table B-1 shows version requirements for RMAN components.
Note 1 : Dueto Bug6756872 - RMAN REGISTER OF 11G TARGET INTO 10G CATALOG FAILS WITHORA-04028
When compatibility of components is brokenRMAN will rise one of the following errors:
RMAN-6186 -associated message: "PL/SQL package %s.%s version %s in %s database is tooold"
RMAN-6429 -associated message: "%s database is not compatible with this version ofRMAN".
MOS 文档:RMAN DUPLICATE/RESTORE/RECOVER Mixed Platform Support [ID 1079563.1]
Mixed platforms aresupported for:
+ Active Database DUPLICATE
+ Backup-based DUPLICATE using image copies or backup sets
+ RESTORE and RECOVER using image copies or backup sets
Note that thefollowing platform combinations assume that the sourcedatabase is created at the same version as the destination database(i.e. was not upgraded from a version prior to that listed inthe heading for that combination).
solaris x86-64 <-> linux x86-64
HP-PA <-> HP-IA
Windows IA (64-bit) / Windows (64-bitItanium) <-> Windows 64-bit for AMD / Windows (x86-64)
(2) For Oracle Database 11g Release 1 and above releases (requiresminimum 11.1 compatible setting):
Linux <-> Windows
(3)For Oracle Database 11g Release 2(11.2.0.2) and above releases:
Solaris SPARC (64-bit) <-> AIX(64-bit) - Note: this platform combination is currently not supported due toBug 12702521
