migrate from ons server to another

[jgutierrez]

And the environment it´s this:

The actual server have this configutation:
Solaris 2.6
Oracle 8i (8.1.6)

And the future server will have:
Solaris 2.7
Oracle 8i (8.1.6)

[ac]

What is your question then?

Sure, you can do it.

1. install oracle 8.1.6 on sol27 machine
2. shutdown oracle db on sol26 machine
3. rcp files from sol26 to sol27
4. startup database on sol27

That's a little different story.

1. install oracle 8.1.6 on sol27 machine
2. install oracle 8.1.7 on sol27 machine in different ORACLE_HOME (as long as this is a new install, patch to 8.1.7.1 or whatever is current)
3. shutdown oracle db on sol26 machine (immediate or normal)
4. rcp files from sol26 to sol27
5. startup database on sol27 using 8.1.6 ORACLE_HOME
6. shutdown database on sol27 using 8.1.6 ORACLE_HOME
7. switch ORACLE_HOME to 8.1.7
8. use odma to migrate/upgrade your database

This provides a safe way to move & upgrade your database version. You could skip steps 5&6, but I like to start the database and shut it down just to make sure everything is OK.
