MySQL Error 3865: Clone OS Mismatch
Description
This error indicates that a MySQL cloning operation failed because the operating system of the source (donor) server is not the same as the operating system of the target (recipient) server. MySQL's clone plugin enforces this OS compatibility check to ensure a successful and stable data transfer, preventing issues arising from OS-specific binaries or configurations.
Error Message
Clone Donor OS: %s is different from Recipient OS: %s.
Known Causes
3 known causesMismatched Operating Systems
The most direct cause is attempting to clone a MySQL instance from a server running one OS (e.g., Linux) to a server running a different OS (e.g., Windows or macOS).
Incompatible OS Versions or Distributions
Even within the same OS family (e.g., Linux), significant differences between distributions (e.g., CentOS vs. Ubuntu) or major version changes can trigger this compatibility check.
Container/Virtualization Environment Discrepancy
When cloning between containers or virtual machines, the underlying OS might be misinterpreted or appear different to the MySQL clone plugin, even if the user perceives them as compatible.
