Compatibility

The following information describes compatibility among releases and operating systems for Oracle SD-WAN Aware. Compatibility is an important consideration for upgrading and downgrading.

Aware 8.2.1.7.0 with OS 7.0.6 does not support upgrading from, or downgrading to, any other version of Aware. OS 7.0.6 supports only Aware 8.2.1.7.0 or above.

You can load Aware with OS 7.0.5 with Aware R8.2.1.7.0 and all other previous builds, but you cannot load Aware with OS 7.0.6 with any other builds because Oracle upgraded the Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) version from 5.6 to 7.0. The only Aware software build currently supporting OS 7.0.6 is R8.2.1.7.0.

The Aware R8.2.1.7.0 with OS 7.0.6 installation process requires the Full Installation procedure on the Oracle Virtual Appliance (OVA).

Coproduct Support
