Migrate form Solaris to AIX

Hi all,
I'm currently performing a datawarehouse database migrating from Solaris 9, Oracle RAC 10g 10.2.0.3 (64 bit)
to a new server on IBM AIX 5.3. Can I use transportable tablespace feature to migrate form Solaris to AIX ? The database size about 4TB.

Assuming you're talking about Solaris SPARC you can transport a complete database:

  • Migrating from Solaris to AIX

    Hi
    We are planning to migrate from Solaris to AIX. What document will help me to follow?
    If possible send me exact link.
    Our current environment is R/3 4.6c, Oracle 9.2.3 and Solaris 5.9
    Please let me know as quickly as possible.
    Thank-you

    > We are planning to migrate from Solaris to AIX. What document will help me to follow?
    Start with
    http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration
    --> FAQ
    where you will see, that you need a certified migration consultant on-site to do that migration.
    > Our current environment is R/3 4.6c, Oracle 9.2.3 and Solaris 5.9
    since that version is out of support for a long time there are no more official migration guides available, that must be covered by consulting. Technically it will be done by R3SETUP with DBMIG.R3S as parameter file.

  • Migration from Solaris To AIX

    Options :-
    10.2.0.4
    1. Logical Standby - Speed / performance may be a factor along with datatypes.
    Primary will be on Solaris logical standby will be on AIX, I am not sure of the sql apply speed here.
    Does anyone have a practical experience to indicate if it is reliable to use Logical standby fro 3 Terrabyte database's?
    2. Streams - Implementaiton will take a lot of time along with perfromance issues.
    3. export / import -slow
    4. Transportable tablespace with rman convert feature, the issue is the space required for rman convert is two times the storage required. So if primary was 100 Gig you would actually require 200Gig of space to do the conversion.
    Also how fast is the conversion I am not sure.
    5. Restore from tapes
    Any thoughts from anyone on which would be the most successful solution.

    Hello,
    About the solution 1) you should care of the Datatypes. All the Datatypes are not supported by
    Logical standby database.
    About the solution 3) it's better to use DataPump (expdp/impdb) rather than classical export/import
    utility. I could migrate quickly a 130 GB database in less than 2 hours and half in Standard Edition.
    In Enterprise Edition you can use PARALLEL option and have even better performance.
    Else in 10g, depends on your "endian" format of the source and target OS the datafiles can
    be cross compatible. There's a compatibility matrix in Metalink. So in some case the restore solution
    can be used straightly.
    Hope it can help, it's not easy to move 3 TB.
    Best regards,
    Jean-Valentin

  • 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 .

  • Migrate oracle 9207 DB 8 TB size frm Solaris to AIX?dont want  Exp/Imp

    Hi Guys,PLz help
    I want migrate 8TB oracle database from Solaris 8 to AIX 5.
    In my last post on the same topic I was told to refer Metalink notes
    291024.1,Note:77523.1,Note:277650.1
    acc to these notes 'EXPORT/IMPORT IS THE ONLY OPTION TO MIGRATE FROM SOLARIS TO AIX'.
    I was not convinced as In http://dba.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=9523
    I read
    "As both solaris and AIX are UNIX O/S, cloning the DB is also possible from source box to target box"
    Also
    whats the role of "If the endianness is the same"??????
    Can you guys plz comment on this again.....as I'm really confused because exp/imp of 8TB
    is going to take half of my life :)
    PLz tell in any other option in 9.2.0.7?If we have
    Thanx

    You can do
    SELECT PLATFORM_NAME, ENDIAN_FORMAT
          FROM V$TRANSPORTABLE_PLATFORMto check endianness of different platform.
    -- Note, the view is only on 10g and above.
    datafiles from different endian format can't be directly copied over and use. On 10g you have option to use RMAN convert endianness.
    with that said, since Solaris and AIX are all big engianness. That means you can directly copy datafiles over and clone database without using exp/imp.
    this article has a list of how to clone

  • Solaris VS AIX

    we are in the process of Migrating from Solaris to AIX. While cross platform Migration can be used to migrate from solaris to AIX. I am wondering if anyone had some thoughts on "lessons learned" while migrating from Solaris to AIX. Both the advantages and the disadvantages.
    any inputs provided will be greatly appreciated.

    migrating from Solaris to AIXYes! Make sure to check-out the AIX-centric I/O methods, especially CIO. Oracle on AIX offers thee main I/O options, and the DBA needs to pick the one that's right for their database:
    JFS - Journalled File System
    CIO - Concurrent I/O (uses JFS)
    DIO - The Direct I/O option
    AIX has the Concurrent IO (CIO) method within their JFS filesystem, allowing the use of JFS while achieving fast I/O (almost as fast as raw devices). Raw partitions in AIX are quite cumbersome and CIO is a great alternative since you get the ease of administration and the speed of “almost raw”.
    However, high-DML database may want to use direct I/O (DIO instead of JFS or CIO.
    I have more notes here:

  • Migration Oracle db from solaris to aix

    Hi,
    I would like to ask you for a best way how to do..
    We have a large international Oracle migration effort from Solaris to AIX. We have some challenges where a standard export/import will not work due to the extended distance between sites. As an example we are migrating from Japan to Texas.
    What is the best tool to use?
    I looked around and I found Oracle Golden Gate.
    do you have any other idea?
    Thank you,
    Regards,

    I dont have more info about the project but there will databases (maybe 500) with different sizes (x MB - x TB) and there could be single and RAC.
    I am looking for any tool/utility where I will be able to prepare migration document which could be used as baseline for migration all of them.I do not think it will be possible to use one approach for all DBs in your case. You should split DBs into groups you may use different approaches.
    Among 500 DBs will be:
    a) databases with "low availability" requirements where long downtime is possible. so you can stop app, take an export, import into remote db, re-target app to new db.
    b) databases where only short downtime is possible. then you can use DataGuard or some replication technologies (OGG, Shareplex, DataCurrents) to make "final sync".
    c) databases with "high availability" requirements where NO downtime is possible. Here you can use some replication technologies (i.e. DataCurrents and may be others can do it). First you copy data to remote DB and "remember" SCN you got the source dump, then you keep replicating all changes starting from this SCN. As soon as remote DB becomes in sync, you quickly switch the app to new DB.
    But I never did migration accross states (more than 1000 miles).Distance does not matter. You should have good bandwidth network connection between sites.

  • Conversion - Oracle 9i  (Solaris to AIX)

    Hai All,
    Any problem regarding the migration from oracle9i for Solaris to AIX. The best method is EXP/IMP. is it? I am planning to take a full=y oracle Export and try to import.
    Please help for the regarding details...
    Shiju

    You may considering doing exp/imp on test machine first and then proceed for production. Export the full database and import your important application schemas. Please take care of export and import versions.

  • URGENT: Run Form 9i on AIX

    Hello all,
    I have a bunch of webforms(form 9i) running in windows environment.I need to deploy these forms in an AIX machine.this machine has Oracle9iAS installed.
    Do I need to install forms 9i on the AIX machine?I dont need any development work to be done ,so can I take the fmx and plx files and deploy it there without installing forms9i.How do I start the effort of migrating to an AIX environment?I am clueless.I read some white papers but they don't exactly address my problem
    Please help.
    sathi

    Sathi,
    actually you need to compile the Forms fmb and mmb files on the AIX machine to build fmx and mmx files that work on AIX. If your application has Windows specific functionality (e.g. Registry dependencies taht cannot be moved into a shell script) then you need to change these too. Oracle9iAS should have the Forms compiler f90cmp in its bin directory (I checked on Windows and it has) that you can use to compile the modules. So if compiling is all you need to do, copy the fmb and mmb files to AIX and compile them. The Forms configuration files (formsweb.cfg, default.env, forms90.conf) are the same.

  • Using HOST built-in in Forms under an AIX O/S

    Hello,
    I need to use the HOST built-in inside a form under an AIX O/S, but it doesn't work. I have tried some different options:
    a) HOST('cp /xx/xx/xx/file1.txt xx/xx/xx/file2.txt');
    b) HOST('sh cp /xx/xx/xx/file1.txt xx/xx/xx/file2.txt');
    c) HOST('ksh /xx/xx/xx/file1.txt xx/xx/xx/file2.txt');
    d) HOST('/usr/bin/cp /xx/xx/xx/file1.txt xx/xx/xx/file2.txt');
    (NOTE: The files are referenced with the absolute path).
    Why it doesn't work?
    It seems that the cp command is not found when i execute it. When I put this instruction in a Windows O/S it works perfectly puting 'cmd' at the beginning of the literal, because of 'cmd' is the command.com for windows.
    Maybe I don't know what is the command.com for AIX?
    Could you help me?
    Thanks.

    Hello
    What Gerd was getting at is where you had:
    cl := '"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://springfield01:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=sas2.fmx&userid='||user||'/'||get_application_property(password)||'@fc';
    host(cl,no_screen);
    replace the code with:
    cl:='http://springfield01:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=sas2.fmx&userid='||user||'/'||get_application_property(password)||'@fc';
    web.show_document (cl,'_blank');
    This will open a new IE window with the url you requested.
    You could alternatively if you already have webutil installed just replace
    host(cl,no_screen);
    with
    client_host(cl,no_screen);
    Though logically the having to have "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" in your code defeats the idea of a web application. I would go for the first option because you don't care where IE is on the machine.
    cheers

    Thanks you in advance
    sunsifac

    Please try docs.sun.com. You could find C++ Migration Guide there. As to C, the binary interface for C compiler hasn't changed in years. As such, .o's compiled with any of the compiler versions(From old version workshop 5.0 to the current Sun One Studio 8) should link with .o's from any other versions.
    Not sure about script.
