General Restrictions for Using Earlier Oracle Database Releases

Restrictions for using earlier Oracle Database releases with Oracle Grid Infrastructure 23ai.

You can use Oracle Database 19c, Oracle Database 21c, and Oracle Database 23ai with Oracle Grid Infrastructure 23ai.

  • Do not use the versions of srvctl, lsnrctl, or other Oracle Grid infrastructure home tools to administer earlier version databases. Administer earlier Oracle Database releases using the tools in the earlier Oracle Database homes. To ensure that the versions of the tools you are using are the correct tools for those earlier release databases, run the tools from the Oracle home of the database or object you are managing.
  • You can store Oracle Database homes on Oracle Advanced Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) only if the database version is Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2) or later.
