The supported operating system “Windows Server 2003” includes support for all editions of Windows
Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2 including Windows Unified Data Storage Server where
applicable.
The supported operating system “Windows Server 2008” and “Windows Server 2008 R2” include
support for all editions of “Windows Server 2008” and “Windows Server 2008 R2” including Windows
Unified Data Storage Server, where applicable.
The supported operating system “Windows Server 2012” and “Windows Server 2012 R2” includes
support for all editions of “Windows Server 2012” and “Windows Server 2012 R2” including Windows
Unified Data Storage Server, where applicable.
The supported operating system “Windows Server 2016” includes support for all editions of “Windows

“Windows Server 2016 Essentials”, where applicable.
Support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 does not include support for Novell Open Enterprise
Server 11.
Data Protector components running in combination with application versions and operating system
versions, which are not supported by their respective vendors, the support from Micro Focus is limited
to a reasonable-endeavors basis. At any time, Micro Focus can decide to remove those combinations
from the support matrix.
Acronyms used within the matrix are as follows:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server - SLES

6 Includes support for Veritas Cross-Platform Data Sharing (CDS) disk.
7 Supports StoreOnce software version 3.18.x and earlier (including CloudBank support from 3.18). For information on the
StoreOnce Backup systems and features supported by this StoreOnce software version, see the BURA Compatibility Matrix
available at www.hpe.com/storage/BURACompatibility.
8 System Extended Attributes are not supported.
9 Requires installation of Windows patch KB2748349.
10 Supported for DDOS versions 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7 and 6.0.
11 Data Domain Boost devices configured on AIX using the Fiber Channel (FC) protocol supports only one Data Protector
connection per SAN path or Data Domain end point. Due to this, AIX gateways using the Fiber Channel interface
automatically get their ‘Max. Number of Parallel connections per Gateway’ parameter set to 1. Operations such as
consolidation and replication need multiple connections per operation and will not succeed with this configuration. If
additional SAN paths are added, then the AIX server’s gateway settings should be modified to allow these operations to
succeed.
12 The Fiber Channel (FC) protocol is not supported for DDOS versions 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7. FC protocol is supported on
Solaris 11 (SPARC) for DDOS version 6.0 only.
13 Supports all NAS and SAN devices using CFS and NFS shares, and SAN devices using the local FS mount.
14 A Smart Cache device is not supported on a virtual node in a clustered environment.
15 Object copy to the Cloud device (“Microsoft Azure blob storage” and “HPE Helion object stores”) is supported. Direct backup
to Cloud device is not supported.
16 Support for StoreOnce Catalyst version 3.18.x and earlier over Fiber Channel (FC) with AIX platform requires to have
dedicated ports for every StoreOnce node. For more information, see StoreOnce documentation.
17 StoreOnce system hosted Catalyst stores version 3.18.x supports replication over Fiber Channel (FC).
18 Device on Microsoft Azure StoreSimple is supported via SmartCache device.
19 SLES 11.x (x64) High Availability Extension is supported
20 DD OS 6.0 and 6.1 is supported only for CIFS, NAS and VTL. LTO-5 is not supported with DD OS 6.1.
21 SLES 12 and SLES 12 SP1 are supported.
22 Supports H3C software version 3.16.x, 3.15.x and 3.14.x. For information on the H3C Backup systems and features
supported by this H3C software version, see the BURA Compatibility Matrix available at
www.hpe.com/storage/BURACompatibility.
23 H3C system hosted Catalyst stores version 3.16.x supports replication over Fiber Channel (FC).
24 Support for H3C Catalyst version 3.16.x, 3.15.x and 3.14.x over Fiber Channel (FC) with AIX platform requires to have
dedicated ports for every H3C node. For more information, see H3C documentation.

1 Oracle 11g covers all released versions of Oracle 11g and 11g R2: i.e. 11x.x.
2 Includes support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Workstation and Enterprise Server also.
3 SharePoint Granular Recovery Extension is also supported.
4 Data Protector uses the official SAP backup and restore API (BR*Tools), which is available only in conjunction with Oracle
database. Therefore, Data Protector support only depends on the SAP BR*Tools version (as supported by SAP in
combination with various SAP kernels) and not on the SAP kernel version.
5 Baan users with Oracle, Informix, Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase databases can back up their application data by following
the instructions for integrating Data Protector with their database in the Data Protector Integration Guide.
6 BR*Tools 7.20 is the recommended version of the tools for Oracle 11g. To be able to use BR*Tools under Oracle 11g on
Unix platforms (except for AIX), you must set up the following soft link in $ORACLE_HOME/lib:
> ln -s libnnz11.so libnnz10.so
7 For MS SQL integration fast direct mode backup, Data Protector client based AES encryption is not supported.
8 Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint is supported.
9 Microsoft Exchange Server Granular Recovery Extension is also supported. GRE is not supported on Windows 2016.
11 Support is also available for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express edition. Please refer to Microsoft websites for supported
Operating Systems/Platforms.
12 Backup and restore of single mailbox, folder, and DAG are supported only through MS Exchange Granular Recovery
Extension.
13 Data Protector can backup and restore SQL Server databases encrypted with Transparent Data Encryption. IMPORTANT
NOTE: It is the user’s responsibility that the exact combination of encryption keys / certificates are used for backup and for
restore.
If encryption keys / certificates change between the time of backup and restore, the Data Protector restore will not work,
unless all needed keys / certificates were copied and restored manually as described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/bb964742.aspx and supported through Microsoft. This process is complex and could be error prone. The key /
13
certificate handling process is manual and not integrated into Data Protector and is therefore not supported by HPE in case
it is not correctly applied by the user.
14 Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is supported for Microsoft SharePoint 2010, and Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (StandAlone and
Always On Availability Group) is supported for Microsoft SharePoint 2013.
15 Btrfs File System is supported only with SLES 11 SP3 and later.
16 Not applicable for Oracle 10g R2 support.
17 Backup & Recovery of Container and Pluggable Databases (CDB & PDB) are supported.
18 Single/Multiple Container and Multitenant Database Container are supported.
19 Microsoft Exchange Server DAG configured without a Cluster Administrator Access Point is supported with Round Robin
DNS mapping of DAG name to all the node IPs.
20 Microsoft SQL Server 2016 with Availability Group configuration is not supported.
All HSM software based on the Windows Server 2003 and higher
Windows NTFS offline feature
