Oracle migration from Solaris 64 sparc to Solaris x86-64

Now that Solaris x86-64 is supported in Netweaver 2004s SR1, I was wondering about the migration path.
Would this be a heterogeneous migration or a homogeneous migration.
or to put it another way Export/import to migrate
or backup/restore????
No documents exist yet regarding this migration.

Hello Guys
Just wanted to ask you whether Migration of SAP system from Solaris SPARC to Solaris x86_64 is possible using the
backup/restore method.
I would be grateful if you could share your experience
Regards

  • Migration from AIX Oracle8i to Solaris Oracle8i?

    Hi,
    I wonder how to migrate Oracle 8i (8.1.7) on AIX to Oracle
    8i (8.1.7) on Solaris?
    The Oracle version is the same, but only the O.S platform is
    different. I have found the migration information from Oracle
    web site but it only talks about migration between different
    database.
    Thanks.

    > In our organisation, we are planning to migrate from AIX6.1 to Solaris x64. The processor which we'll be using is UltraSPARC+IV processor.
    Well - I think you're mixing a few things up here.
    Solaris x64 refers to Solaris on the Intel or the AMD processor (x64 == x86_64 == AMD64)
    UltraSPARC IV+ refers to a CPU developed by Sun (now Oracle).
    > 1. Which guide to refer for moving the SAP System from AIX6.1 to Solaris
    There are no specific guides for OS migrations. You use the heterogeneous system copy approach. However, migrating a database and/or operating system requires a certified migration consultant on-site doing the migration. If you do it yourself you'll loose support from SAP for problems during the migration and for the target system (see http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration).

    Yes. Solaris 10 on SPARC Is supported.

  • Error after Oracle Migration from DMTS into LMTS

    Hello ,
    I'm sorry, I posted my question again from ABAP General into this forum ABAP Dictionary. I think that here someone can help me in order to proceed with my job in the Development and in production system.
    We are using SAP R/3 4.6C, with SAP kernel 2271, Oracle 9.2.0.5 and HP-UX 11.23
    I did the Oracle migration from dictionary into locally managed tablespaces on the QTS system (and before that the same migration on a separate system as a copy from production):
    1. export data and index tablespace with Oracle export command (exp: for PSAPCLUD and PSAPCLUI)
    2. import into file for creation of indexes
    3. Drop the data and corresponding index tablesspace with brtools - brspace
    4. recreate the tablespaces with sapdba or with sqlplus (using the ddl scripts created before dropping the tablespaces) - - I think is my problem
    5. import the data with Oracle import command
    6. import the indexes from the previously created sql file
    7. check optimizer statistics, analyze and next extents
    But there is one problem.
    Because I have also used the sapdba and ddl sql for recreating the tablespaces, I didn't specify the SAP data class for the newly created tablespace.
    And in the tables TAORA, IAORA and DDART (what is very unclear for me) 3 rows missing for the USER1, TEMP and ??? data class.
    If you try to import some transport in the corresponding tablespace which data class is missing an error ocur.
    I have read the Note 646681 - Reorganizing tables with BRSPACE, and I saw the part: If the <reorg_tsp> tablespace contains any of the following tables: SDBAH,SDBAD,DBAML,DBATL,MLICHECK,TGORA,IGORA,TSORA,TAORA, IAORA,SVERS,DD02L,DD09L,DDNTT,DDART,DARTT or SAPLIKEY (SAPLIKEY is only available in NetWeaver 2004s or higher), then you should move them to the tablespace <aux_tsp> by online reorganization using BRSPACE:
    brspace -f tbreorg -t <table_list> -n <aux_tsp>
    Do you have the same problem?
    Do you know how I can solve the problem now after the hole migration was done?
    How can I dedicate tablespace data class?
    Is it enought to just enter the same rows into the TAORA, IAORA and DDART?
    Thanks,
    Many regards,
    Ruzica

    Apparently you are trying to mix 32-bit code and 64-bit code. You must ensure that the 32-bit or 64-bit option is used consistently on every command, compiling and linking. The form of the option can depend on the version of the C compiler you are using, and whether you are on an x86 or sparc system. Consult the Pro*C and C compiler documentation.

  • DB migration from HP-UX to Solaris

    On 10.2, you can use RMAN and CONVERT DATABASE (in 10.1, you'd need to use CONVERT TABLESPACE for each tablespace), since your systems are both big endian (assuming Solaris on SPARC):

  • Oracle migration from Solaris to Win

    Dear All,
    I need to create a test database, so I have to migrate a 10.2.0.1 DB from Solaris (64 bit) to Windows 2003 Standrard Server (32 bit).
    The problem is that I cannot see anything related to this Win version in the v$transportable_platform view, the only one near to this is "Microsoft Windows IA (32-bit)"... This is not an IA machine, so I assume that my only way to transport is exp/imp... There is 100GB of data, so any help would be highly appreciated related to the speed...
    Thanks,
    Franky

    Windows Server 2003 32bit (based on x86) means Oracle generic software for Windows 32bit. You can use RMAN's crossplatform-feature, although a direct conversion doesn't work (because of different endianess), you need some extra steps. Refer to this document:

  • DB migration from RHEL 5 to Solaris x86(64bit)

    DB version : 11.1.0.7
    Platform : RHEL 5 (64bit)
    We would like to move our non-ASM 11.1 DB which is currently in Linux (RHEL 5) to Solaris 10 x86 (64bit).
    Both RHEL 5 (64bit) and Solaris x86 (64bit) are of LITTLE ENDIAN format.
    1. I gather that I have to use RMAN's CONVERT DATABASE for this. Any Metalink note or URLs relevant to this migration ?
    2. Would the migration be easier if my DB was in 11.2 ? I could upgrade my DB to 11.2 if there are any advangtages from migration point of view?

    You can use transportable tablespace option to move database accross platforms.
    First, you must check tablespace dependecies.
    Check whether your tablespace can transfer or not?
    SQL> exec dbms_tts.transport_set_check('TEST_TS',TRUE);
    SQL> select * from transport_set_violations;
    set status of tablespace which you want to move to Read-only.
    SQL>alter tablespace test_ts read only;
    Convert datafiles of tablespace
    RMAN> convert tablespace test_ts to platform 'HP-UX (64-bit)' format='/tmp/test01.dbf';
    Export tablespace metadata using data pump export
    expdp talip/talip directory=dump_dir dumpfile=test_ts.dmp transport_tablespaces=test_ts
    copy datafile of tablespace to another db.
    Import metadata to another db.
    impdp talip/talip directory=dump_dir dumpfile=test_ts.dmp transport_datafiles=/data1/testts01.dbf

  • Oracle migration from solaris to AIX

    Hi,
    We have a activity of a migration of oracle 9i Solaris database (800G in size) to AIX oracle 10g database, we use RMAN and exp/imp as a backup method. What are the efficient and fastest methods to do this and i what way?
    Thanks
    Jaffy

    Hi
    As your database is large so try transportable tablespace features for different platform migration.If endian format is same you don't need to use RMAN for datafile conversion.If endian format is different you need to convert datafile.
    You will get information about supported platform from V$TRANSPORTABLE_PLATFORM .

  • Migrating databases from Sun sparc to Sun x86 architecture.

    Is a export/pump required to do this, or can we just copy the database files on to such platform and expect them to work?
    Thanks,
    Paul.

    No you cannot just copy datafiles and it wont' work, but you can definitely use export/import and depending upton your database version on both the machines (10g) you can make use of datapump (impdp/expdp- much faster than conventional export/import). You can also explore using RMAN and stream all depends upon which version of database you are using.
    But as always use conventional export/import and it will work fine.

  • Oracle Migration from 8i (WE8ISO8859P1) to 9i (Unicode)

    We have a database in oracle8i with
    NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
    NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
    The character set WE8ISO8859P1 does not support GREEK language.
    The user inserts/modifies records in this databse from the front-end. The front end installed in the client machine has the following setting:
    Control Panel->Regional settings ->Advanced ->
    Language for non-unicode programs = Greek
    Oracle client installed in English
    Greek characters have been inserted/updated into this database and retrieved and displayed correctly by the GUI.
    Note: Greek data has been inserted into WE8ISO8859P1 database which does not support Greek characters.
    hence the actual data that is stored in the database are not Greek. Only while displaying, they are getting converted into Greek characters due to the settings in the client machine.
    Requirement: Migrate the database to Oracle 9i Unicode.
    While migration, we need to eliminate any data discrepancy and make sure the data in the Unicode dabase is in Greek.
    Can you suggest us a method to do the migration to avoid the above problem, and a way to check what are the characters that are stored in the database and help us identify if they are real Greek characters.

    There is no way to do a "cold" export, since Oracle needs to access the database to do the export. The closest you could come would be to shutdown the listener on the 81 box, shut it down, then open it in restricted mode and do your export.
    There is no need to copy archive logs, redo logs, or anything other than the export dump file.
    I'm not sure how big the differences are between NT and Win2k in terms of O/S file structures. If the two are fully compatible, you if you can install 8i on the Win2k machine as well as 9, then you could do something like:
    Copy your last backup, plus all archive logs to the Win2k machine.
    Do a recovery there to re-create the 8i database using the 8i Oracle install.
    Shut down the 8i database, and open it under the 9 install and do an inplace migration.

  • Oracle Migration from 7.3.4 to 9i across different operating systems

    Hi,
    I have a running production Oracle database on an Windows NT. The requirement is to migrate to 9i database which is on a Windows 2000 box. What are the best solution to handle the situation. One thing I can think of is an Export/Import but can i have more suggestions. Since the export/import takes longer other methods are sought
    Thanks
    Sachin

    ah right. I think that one of the problem that you can have is with the character set from one version to another because the national character set in 9i differs than before. I recommend you to do the upgrade using national character set UTF8 first and after AL16UTF16 after in databases separetly and probe your application.

    You can find the Sparc downloads on the site. The problem is actually getting it to run. I've been trying to run it for some time and it keeps giving me the following error:

    although I'm 100% sure that the parameters are right. trussing shows that Orion relies on a lot more than the documentation says.

  • Installing the just released 10.2.0.2 agent on Solaris Sparc

    Anyone tried installing the new 10.2.0.2 agent on Solaris Sparc? (Solaris 9). After the agent installs the config fails and I found a bunch of binaries (like emagent) are zero length.
    Didn't have any issues installing the previous 10.2.0.1. It took so long for the 10.2.0.2 agent to be released for Solaris, I'm wondering if there's an issue with the package.

    Hi all,
    Since you all have already gone through upgrade process from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.2,
    I need help doing the same.
    We have 10.2.0.1 Grid Control installed in test env (solaris 5.9 Sparc), and I am planning to upgrade it to 10.2.0.2.
    My question is, when we shut down OMS to apply 10.2.0.2 patch, what happens to the agents? they will not be able to upload the stats, and may get inactive after reaching the disk usage limit.
    Also, when we complete the upgrade patch, when OMS comes up, can the 10.2.0.1 agent still talk to the 10.2.0.2 OMS? I am asking this from the logistical point of view. We have 15 servers, and it may be couple of days, before all agents can be upgraded. In that scenario, I wish to keep the Grid Control available for testing barring the agents under upgrade.
    We havenot turned on the automatic patch management, and tempted to use the Method 2 of 4.1.2.1 item of the Readme document of the patch.
    What were you experiences? and any advices?
