Hi,

My current database is on an Alpha Server. (Digital Unix).

I need to move it to an HP-Ux server. The Oracle Versions remain the same which is 8.1.6

Can someone tell me how to relocate the databases the OS being different. Do we need to recreate/migrate the database or can we simply copy the datafiles and recreate the controlfile.

One thing for sure we cannot do an Export/Import because it is a production database whose size stands to around 300GB.

Thanks
