10.7 solaris-11i linux

Where can i find some information of upgrading
from 10.7 solaris-11i linux
- steps involved it
q:
- Do i build 10.7 in linux and then do a upgrade
or
- build upgrade in unix and then import/export to linux
any points will be helpful
srini

I will first give a very high level answer and if you need more detail - just ask away.
First Need to lay down upgrade environment with rapid install - this would include new $APPL_TOP, $806_ORACLE_HOME,$8174_ORACLE_HOME,$IAS_ORACLE_HOME and $COMMON_TOP. This would be in the linux side. Remember rapid install itself has patches and there is a metalink note on the pre-upgrade patches for the apptlop during the upgrade note 112659.1.
Search metalink new patch search for rapid install and find those patches - very important for linux - so of the rapid install versions have issues, the last patch set fixed our problems.
Once this is prepared (upgrade not started) then I used imp/exp to migrate the database and I reorg'd the database at the same time for this - Metalink document 204015.1 was a good source for this. Verses the sysadmin documentation. Then once the database is imported, then begin the upgrade process - we also created a 10.7 on solaris pre-upgrade clone, that is we cloned production to a temporary 10.7 environment, did the pre-upgrade steps up until the database migration, then did the imp/exp , then did the upgrade -
Hope that makes sense, there could be other ways and even different twists with the steps we did. I hope it makes sense, I am not that good in emails and notes, The reason we did the pre-upgrade steps on a clone was so that the current production could serve as a back up in case of any un-anticipated problems happened during the upgrade and as well for the testing process that you go through.

Chris

  • Why  difference in Solaris and Linux

    Hi,
    The following program is giving results diferently when I am executing using g++ compiler in Solaris and Linux.
    Why it is so.
    here is the code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <malloc.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    int main( void )
    size_t size;
    char *buf;
    if ( ( buf = (char *)malloc(10 *sizeof(char))) == NULL)
    exit (1);
    size = sizeof( buf );
    strcpy(buf, "HelloWorld");
    printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s size : %d ", buf, buf,size);
    if (( buf = (char *) realloc(buf, sizeof(20))) == NULL)
    exit ( 1);
    *(buf+10) = 'A'; *(buf+11) = 'B'; *(buf+12) = '\0';
    printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s\n", buf, buf);
    free( buf);
    exit( 0 );
    Solaris:
    Address is : 134160 String is : HelloWorld size : 4
    Address is : 135704 String is : HelloWor
    Linux:
    Address is : 134518824 String is : HelloWorld size : 4
    Address is : 134518824 String is : HelloWorldAB

    Hi,
    The following program is giving results diferently
    when I am executing using g++ compiler in Solaris
    and Linux.
    Why it is so.
    here is the code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <malloc.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    int main( void )
    size_t size;
    char *buf;
    if ( ( buf = (char *)malloc(10 *sizeof(char))) == NULL)
    exit (1);
    size = sizeof( buf );The size you get here is the size of buf, which is the size of a pointer, not the size of what buf points to. sizeof(*buf) would give you size of a char, the type (not the object) that buf points to.
    There is no portable way to find out the number of bytes allocated on the heap if you are give only a pointer to the memory. You have to remember the size some other way..
    strcpy(buf, "HelloWorld");A literal string consists of the characters in the string plus a terminating null, all of which are copied by strcpy. You allocated 10 chars for buf, but are writing 11 chars into it. At this point, the program has undefined behavior. Literally anything at all could happen, because you can't predict the effect of writing outside the bounds of allocated memory.
    printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s size :
    e : %d ", buf, buf,size);
    if (( buf = (char *) realloc(buf, sizeof(20))) == NULL)The "sizeof" operator in this case is returning the size of the type of a literal 20, which is an int. If you want to allocate 20 bytes, you write 20, not sizeof(20).
    exit ( 1);
    *(buf+10) = 'A'; *(buf+11) = 'B'; *(buf+12) == '\0';SInce you can't count on buf having more than 4 bytes at this time, you are writing into unallocated memory, with undefined results.
    printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s\n", buf, buf);
    free( buf);
    exit( 0 );
    Instead of asking why you get different results on different platforms, you should be asking why the program doesn't crash on all platforms. :-)
    You can avoid these problems with keeping track of allocating memory by using the C++ standard library instead of trying to manage low-level details yourself as in C code.
    The standard string class, for example, extends itself as needed, and ensures that heap memory is freed when the string object is deleted or goes out of scope. You don't need pointers, malloc, free, or sizeof to use C++ strings.

  • Migration of Database oracle 10g from solaris to linux

    Hi,

    I need to migrate a DB from solaris to linux without shutdown the solaris DB.I would like to know the backup using RMAN Transportable tablespace in solaris and migrate it to dest(Linux).
    Kindly share ur ideasIt is very much possible. In fact I transfered DB from sunos to Windows. But this is not a backup process using RMAN. RMAN is used to change the endianness of datafile so that it is in format which is required by Windows format. This transfer is possible using the data pump utility(IMPDP). There are many threads on the forum for this topic. Seek help from other threads.

  • Reconfiguring Hyperion after DB move from Solaris to Linux

    Our Hyperion Databases are moving from Solaris to Linux. We need to reconfigure Hyperion EPM to point to the new Linux DB. We have 4 Hyperion servers A,B, C, D.
    Server A : Foundation Services, Workspace ,Reporting & Analysis, Planning, Calc Manager, Shared Services, EAS, APS.
    Server B : EPMA, Essbase studio
    Server C: ODI, FDM
    Server D: Essbase
    We are planning to do the below steps :
    1) Stop all Hyperion services .
    2) Stop databases on Solaris servers.
    2) Configure Foundation first on foundation services server ( server A) , using EPM system configurator.
    3) Configure Foundation on the other 3 servers( B, C,D) which are having EPMA, FDM, Essbase etc.
    4) Foundation- Deployment to applicaiton server in foundation services server ( Server A).
    5) Configure/deploy DB for rest of the products.
    We tried to do similar steps last time. We were able to do foundation but for other products it failed. Please let us know if these steps are correct?
    We are on Hyperion 11.1.2.2.300 version. O/S is Windows 2008 64 bit.

    You should just need to follow the documentation:
    Changing the Shared Services and Registry Database Connection Information and Password
    Changing EPM System Product Repository Database Connection Information and Passwords
    If there are problems following those steps then post the errors from the logs.
    Cheers

  • Need to Clone A Database From Solaris to Linux Oracle 11g

    Hi Team,
    I am using Oracle Database Version 11.2.0.1.
    We have 6 production servers and all of them are in solaris box. We have a new requirement from application to use Linux boxes and for that we need to perform a database refresh from Solaris to Linux box.
    I can do it by Export and Import technique. But I want some other way to perform this database refresh activity.
    1] Can I do it while taking a rman backup from solaris box( Source) and restore it back to Linux( Target)?
    2] Can I do it using transportable tablespace method?
    I am aware of performing this using export-import but as our database size is near of 1TB I can't apply this technique.
    I need your suggestions in this activity, please put your opinion on the correct method I should opt for and along with that share me the supporting document where things are mentioned in step by step way.
    Please let me know if this can achieved by RMAN...
    Source Machine Make:-
    bash-3.00$ uname -a
    SunOS blrdlvdwhdb01 5.10 Generic_142909-17 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-T6320

    Yes, you can create a backup with rman and restore in other platform, check:

  • Migrating Oracle from Solaris to Linux: Trouble converting FileSystem metadata with fscdsconv in Linux (Veritas Storage Foundation)

    Hello everyone,
    I'm in the process of migrating an Oracle DataBase from Solaris 5.10 server to Linux Red Hat 6.4, the storage used is SAN and volumes managed by Veritas Storage Foundation on Solaris
    At this point, I'm trying to convert the byte order of some volumes that come from Solaris in my Linux server using the following command:
    /opt/VRTS/bin/fscdsconv -y -e -f /tmp/vxConv/dbtemp01.tmp -t os_name=Linux,arch=x86 /dev/vx/rdsk/dgtemp/dbtemp01
    Note: Because of the text formating, the above command could span several lines, but I'm executing it in just one
    And I get the following errors:
    UX:vxfs fscdsconv: ERROR: V-3-20012: not a valid vxfs file system
    UX:vxfs fscdsconv: ERROR: V-3-24426: fscdsconv: Failed to migrate
    Searching for a solution of these errors in the Veritas forums, I've found this post, where the user mikebounds gives some steps to migrate Solaris to Linux. I've found that I've replicated these steps but I get stuck on the fscdsconv because the beforementioned errors.
    Does anyone know what could be happening here or have any sugestion to share?
    Software Versions involved:
    RHEL 6.4 x86_64
    Veritas Storage Foundation Enterprise 6.2.0.100 on Linux
    Solaris 5.10
    Veritas 5.0 on Solaris
    Disk layout v7
    vxfs filesystem format
    Oracle 10g
    Thank you very much in advance for any help/ideas to solve this
    Best regards

  • Migrating database from solaris to linux

    I am not sure if there is a migration section here. However, I would like to migrate a 9.2.0.8 database from Solaris to linux and upgrade it to 11g. I reckon that both platforms have different endian format and using rman convert+transportable database and so on will be work if I can upgrade the database to 10 or 11g.
    My question is that since the database is small around 35GB, can I use just exp/imp? If yes but can someone outline what will be needed to take care of the endian format and other hidden hints.
    I believe someone must have done this ------> 9i to 10g or 9i to 11g across platform.
    Thanks.

    It just depends on what how you define 'large'. Generally speaking exp/imp is slow when compared to Data Pump or transportable tablespaces (but both cannot be used in your case).
    I don't think that 16 GB is large but you have to test in your environment how much time import is going to take: import needs always more time than export.

    Hi,
    I'm currently working with Analytics on UNIX
    (Solaris) and perform actions similar to yourself:
    1. Develop RPD in Windows (Analytics Admin Tool)
    2. Post to server (here I use an S/FTP-emulation tool such as WinSCP/Core
    FTP), this handles any conversion of the file needed, i.e. to UNIX version.
    3. Start Analytics services.
    In your case :- Open Solaris server via ftp and copy your Solaris rpd in window system then again try to login linux via ftp paste the related folder. FTP software like (Winscp software am using)
    There is no much complex in this migration.
    Hope this help's

  • Best Unix skills to have AIX, Solaris or Linux Red Hat for SAP

    Hello, I was wondering what would be the best Unix certification I should get in order to be
    more marketable as a SAP Netweaver Administrator. IBM AIX, Sun Solaris or Linux Redhat.
    Thanks for any comments and feedback
    Steve.

    Thanks for the reply back. Its a hard question to get some answers for. If you had to make a guess from your own experience or work site what Unix version would it be. Thanks.
    You forgot one big vendor: HP - with their HP-UX
    I´d say "if you know one you can learn all".
    Unix platforms are somewhat standardized (POSIX, SYSV etc.) so if you "know" one, it´s not that much work to learn a second one since the basics are similar, however, each OS has its specialities.
    I have seen a chart with OS distributions some time ago, roughly 50 % was Windows, the rest was shared among the other Unix platforms almost equally with a small part being more "exotic" (System i, z/OS). 
    I´d also say that this is industry dependent. The banking sector may have - historically - more IBM (and hence AIX), manufacturing industry may also historically have more HP-UX, Universities may have more Solaris environments due to the historical closeness of Sun to education sector (note: those are assumptions). Linux may be used from all of them as "Unix"-similar alternative on Intel/AMD platforms.

  • Migrating EBS from Solaris to Linux

    Hi DBAs,
    I need to migrate the EBS (11.5.10.2) on 4 middle tier servers with single node database (10.2.0.4) running on Solaris 10 to Redhat 5.4 platform. The DB on redhat will be Cluster database with 4 nodes and PCP enabled. As it is a cross platform migration so I am thinking to use export/import of database.
    But for application tier, I need help how to clone the environment from Solaris 10 to Redhat 5.4. Do I need to install the Application Software from scratch, if so then how to move the configuration and custom structure across the plateform. Can I perfrom or Use Rapid Clone from Solaris to Redhat. What all option available for cross-platform migration of EBS ?
    Please suggest , any doc refer , white paper or step by step instruction would be great.
    Thanks
