Well things are not panning out and given the evaluation given by the linux admins and the hardware having problems we are now in the throws of preparing to move the database to another server...

The databases are on a SAN and they are talking about basically moving the lun(s) to a new server. I know with DB2 and SQL Server how to do this and the caveats as well as how to verify but I am unsure of doing this with Oracle.

I've been searching the web on this and haven't come up with what would be the steps pertaining to moving the database structure to another server. Is there a detach/attach steps that need to be done?

Once the SAN resources are moved, what would be a basic overview of verifying that everything is working as intended?

Any advice or a link on this topic is greatly appreciated!!
