    Migration to 10g Linux

    Presently we are using oracle 8.1.7 on windows NT.

    We are planning to migrate to oracle 10g on Linux

    Which is the best method for migration??

    If you've got time, export/import. Otherwise, there is a product called SharePlex that'll do the switchover in a few minutes .. cool, but it's expensive.

    Another option is to upgrade in place to 10g, then use transportable tablespaces to migrate the db's files.

    We recently migrated a bunch of db's from 8.1.7 on HP to 10g on Linux. We used export/import over a weekend. In one case we opened a source db in read-only while we migrated.

    Are you using United Linux or Red Hat? We've had fewer problems with our servers running UL 1.0 (SuSE 8). One RHEL 3.0 box freezes up if we run Grid Control (emctl) on it. Still working with support to figure that one out.

    Good luck.

    Thanks for your reply

    We are planning for ReadHat. exp/imp will be good option.

    Is there any installation problem in installing 10g on RedHat linux ES 3 standard (x86).

    such as pathches etc.

    yes, but it's all laid out in the installation guide and metalink notes.

    Yes, definately read the pre-install stuff real carefully. Don't skip a single step.

    The only outstanding issue I know of is if you're using ASM, the standard auto-startup script (dbora) does not work. I've been wrestling with support on this issue for a while (~ a month).
