Supported topology databases

Network Manager supports IBM® Db2® and Oracle databases for use as topology databases.

Network Manager supports the following topology databases:
  • IBM Db2 version 10.1 Enterprise Server Edition
  • IBM Db2 version 10.5 Workgroup Server Edition
  • IBM Db2 version 10.5 Enterprise Server Edition
  • IBM Db2 version 11.1 Enterprise Server Edition
  • IBM Db2 version 11.5 Enterprise Server Edition
  • V4.2 FixPack 3: IBM Db2 version 11.1 Advance Enterprise Server Edition
  • Oracle Database version 11g, Enterprise Edition with Partitioning option (Support added in Network Manager 4.2 Interim Fix 2)
  • Oracle Database version 12c, Enterprise Edition with Partitioning option
  • Oracle Database version 19c, Enterprise Edition with Partitioning option
Important: All of the database systems cited above include table partitioning capability. The Oracle database systems require the Partitioning option to be included. Table partitioning is required for Network Manager to function properly.

When setting up failover, you can configure Network Manager to operate in the Db2 High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR), or in the Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) environment, depending on your database. For more information, see Configuring failover.

For a matrix of supported operating systems and databases, see the detailed system requirements document at:

Important: Ensure that your database has all the recommended patches applied, including the latest patch levels.
