  • You can install SnapManager either on physical or virtual machines.

  • You must install the same version of SnapManager on all hosts that share the same repository.

  • You must install Oracle patch 13366202 if you are using Oracle databases 11.2.0.2 or 11.2.0.3.

    If you are using DNFS, you must also install the patches listed in the My Oracle Support (MOS) report 1495104.1 for maximum performance and stability.
