Supported Linux OSs

SMS offers file-level migration and block-level migration for Linux OSs.

  • Table 1 lists the Linux OSs available for file-level migration.

    To migrate a source server running an unsupported Linux OS, use any of the following methods:

  • Linux block-level migration requires that the source glibc version be 2.14 or later. For details about the kernels available for Linux block-level migration, see Table 2.
    • You can run the getconf GNU_LIBC_VERSION command to view the glibc version.
    • You can run uname -r to view the kernel version.

    Use file-level migration if block-level migration is not available for your source server.
