Migrating Cross-Platform Database ???

Hi Expert !!
We have a requirement to move huge database from HP to AIX. The database size is big so we cannot opt exp/imp. The only option left is Transport Tablespace.
I did search on net and in oracle documentation for a sample example (moving entire database) but couldn't find one. Could any one please forward a link which discusses this in detail?
Also to note is that, we have a Data Guard configuration in place for this database. How do we move both Primary and Physical Standby from HP to AIX?
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Regards

Cross-Platform Oracle Database Migration Using Transportable Tablespaces
Since you are moving from HP to AIX, endianess seems not a concern, but you still need to make sure tablespaces are self-contained,

  • How to upgrade the oracle RDBMS and migrate cross platform

    Hi ,
    I would like to migrate my database from solaris 5.10 to linux. Simultaneously upgrade my RDBMS database from 10g to 11gR2.
    Can you please suggest
    Thanks
    Naveen

    My present database is 10.2 and new target database is 11.2.0.1.
    cross platform is from solaris to linux.
    Size of the database is 2.5TB . Does datapump a viable solution? Any alternative methods.
    We do not get any down time. I am figuring out a solution for initial lot and migation. Thereafter i can use golden to sync up and do the cutover
    Thanks
    Naveen.

  • A good cross platform database

    Hey all,
    I am needing to use a database in a program and i have been using a ms access database for now but am irratated with the odbc thing and a text file is horrible so i am wondering if there is some java based, prefrebly free database which can be used on many different systems.

    MySQL? (http://www.mysql.com)
    PostgreSQL? (http://www.postgresql.org/)
    Firebird? (http://firebird.sourceforge.net/)
    All great dbservers that have more than adequate JDBC drivers. Firebird seems to be the more popular dbms with stored procedure support, but since you were using Access, MySQL should be more than enough for you and it's easy to setup.

  • Cross Platform migration employing Incremental Transportable Tablespaces

    We have a VLDB that needs to be converted from a Sparc T3 Solaris Big endian to Linux small endian and there are over 6000 tables and the GoldenGate method to reduce downtime was attempted n dev and was an utter failure.  Then I read in several places including metalink ( My Oracle Support ) in DOC ID 1644693.1 Entitiled "How to restore a pre 12c database backup to a cross platform cross endian 12c database", Bug 13335722 and many Oracle 12c Brochures all state that the cross platform cross endian method of using Incremental Transportable Tablespaces which used to be only supported for Exadata is now supported for ALL 12c platforms.  Can anyone veriffy this and has employed this technique to migrate from Sun to Linux by first upgrading the source database to 12c then employing Incremental Transportable Tablespaces capabilities of 12c to migrate cross platform cross endian from Sun Sparc big endian 64 bit word  to Linux Intel little endian 64 word.  Otherwise if we migrate from 11GR2 Sun to Intel we are looking at least 5 days of Read Only downtime.
    Thanks

    why not using export/import (common Oracle tools) or use GoldenGate which allows you to migrate a production database w/o downtime.

  • E-business database migration to linux (Cross platform) using datapump

    Have anyone used parallel=? option of datapump when migrating e-business database (cross platform) during export (expdp) and import (impdp).

    You can use this option, just consider not using a high number to avoid ORA-31693 errors.

  • Database Migration and Cross platform migration

    Actually I am searching solution for following situation: as follows
    Server Name A :
    Operating System : IBM AIX
    Database Version Oracle 10.1.0..0
    No. of Database Instances on this server ….. 2 Databases
    Server Name B
    Operating System : HP Unix
    Database Version Oracle 10.1.0.0
    No. of Database Instance on this server ……. 1 Database
    And the Target is as follows
    We want to migrate above mentioned 3 databases from Server A and B to the new HP-Unix server as follows
    New Server details
    Operating System : HP Unix 11
    Database server : Oracle 10g 10.2.0.2 R2
    So can some please give the steps to follow to migrate existing 3 databases to the new server
    Thanks,
    Amol

    Take a Full Metadata Datapump Export from the Source Database.
    Use SQLFILE option to generate the SQLfile.
    Exeute the same in Target Database.
    Take a datapump export of Source database with Data and import into Target with EXCLUDE=INDEX,CONSTRAINT,TRIGGERs option.
    Create the indexes and other objects after the Datapump import.
    Re-compile the Invalid Objects.
    You can even perform this using Network_link option.(no need for export dump at file system level if used). You should have better network connectivity between two servers.

  • Cross Platform Migration and upgrade of 8i database

    Hello Team:
    Just wanted to check with you on what is the best approach to migrate a 8i database ( Currently on HP Unix PA Risc 64 bit ) to 11gR2 ( Linux x86 - 64 bit ) . The source database is on 8.1.7 and is currently 400 GB. Please note that the endian format for source and destination OS are different. Given this situation what would be the best approach.
    Regards,
    Bala

    Thanks Srini.
    The exact version of the Database is :
    Source Database : 8.1.7.0.0 ( DB Size is 450 GB )
    Target Database : 11.2.0.3 ( RHEL 5.0 64 Bit )
    I did an export of the source database and export dump was 150GB in size. Now I dont know how long will it take to do the import in 11g.
    24 hour downtime would be my best bet.
    I dont know how much long it will take to import the whole database. Here is what I am thinking to do.
    1. Export the Data , metadata without the constraints and indexes
    2. Import the Database into the target database.
    Regards,
    Bala

  • Can I use RMAN transportable database cross platform from 10g to 11g?

    Hi,
    I'm working on the migration plan, the source db server is solaris with 10g database while the destination server is AIX with 11g database.
    Can I use RMAN transportable database for this purpose?
    Coz I have read the restrictions on Cross-Platform Transportable Database, but it does not mention whether it can work for different version of database.
    please help.

    Hi,
    Do you have metalink account? If yes please check : Cross-Platform Migration on Destination Host Using Rman Convert Database [ID 414878.1]*

  • Cross platform migration from hp unix to sun

    Hi
    recently we have done cross platform migration from hp unix to sun (10g R2 RAC +ASM). It was a challenging experience to complete the migration in 8 hours downtime for a database of about 2 TB.
    I would like to share the experience , so that it would be hepfull to others and i would learn more new techniques for improvement .
    source environment:
    HP-UX -ITANIUM - 2 node RAC - 10g R2 - Oracle clusterware - ASM - Heavily loaded all the time .
    Destination Env:
    Sun solaris 10 - 2 node RAC - 10g R2 - Oracle Clusterware - ASM
    Total Downtime available : 6 hours.
    Steps followed
    1. snapshot backup of source database on a intermediate HP-Unix box. (stage area)
    2. recover the database and start the rman image backup on to disk in stage area.
    3. mount this filesystem locally (Veritas ) on to one of the node in the destination env.
    4. Mount this filesystem as NFS on second node using a cross cable between both of them (we can use interconnect VLAN also here)
    5. Keep applying the archive logs from source env till the downtime .
    5. startup nomount the database , change the datafile names from ASM to RMAN image copy files and mount.
    6. start rman convert statements and pump into the already exisitng ASM nodes with parallel sessions as much as possible (with 35 sets (513 datafiles) we were able to pump 2 TB data in 4.5 Hrs) - only system and undo datafiles need a convert statements (platform migration ) others would need a file system to ASM conversion only.
    7. alter database open resetlogs in the destination environment.
    8. create services manually and start the application.
    we were given very less time to decide upon this stategy , By gods grace we were able to complete it .
    I got a doubt while we are chalking out this plan .
    can we connect to ASM instance remotely and pump data from one ASM to another ASM. It seems it is not possible , just a wild thought.
    Let me know if you see any more improvements in this.
    Thanks

  • Oracle 10g - Cross-Platform Transportable Database (with or without RMAN?)

    Hello guys,
    i am currently on a project for migrating oracle databases from one platform to another platform (both platforms are on the same endianess):
    -> From Linux 64-Bit to Windows 64-Bit
    -> From HP-UX 64-Bit to AIX 64-Bit
    All databases are on Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4) and i have tested two different ways:
    1) The "official" way with RMAN CONVERT DATABASE
    http://youngcow.net/doc/oracle10g/backup.102/b14191/dbxptrn002.htm#CHDEEEAG
    2) "Copy & Paste"
    - Copy & Paste of the database files
    - Recreate controlfile manually on target platform (with help of "backup controlfile to trace" on source platform)
    Both ways are working well and the migrated test databases are running fine.
    Now i am wondering why there is a "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" command, if it possible to copy and paste the data files and perform two steps manually afterwards.
    The "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" is time consuming and you still need to copy the RMAN output files to the target platform.
    Is there any special reason, why you need the "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE"? Does the "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" change some things in the database files internally?
    Thanks and Regards

    Hello,
    Anurag Tibrewal wrote:
    If the source platform and the target platform are of different endianness, then an additional step must be done on either the source or target platform to convert the tablespace being transported to the target format. Of course .. in this case you can not use the "Cross-Platform Transportable Database" - you have to use the "Cross-Platform Tranportable Tablespace" (with RMAN CONVERT DATAFILE or TABLESPACE).
    Anurag Tibrewal wrote:
    If they are of the same endianness, then no conversion is necessary and tablespaces can be transported as if they were on the same platform.Yes, but oracle provides this with RMAN and the command "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" .. as i already wrote i have already performed the two ways "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" and "just copy & paste" and both are working fine.
    So my question is if there is any special case in which you should use the RMAN way with "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" instead of just "copy & paste" if you stay on the same endianness?
    Thanks and Regards

  • Cross platform migration question.

    I have a customer that is currently runnning oracle 10g databases on solaris 64 bit operating system on sun m4000 and m5000 hardware. The customer is looking to move to the redhat 6 operating system.
    I am wanting to know what method will be available for me to migrate the databases as the endian on the files are different? Will transportable tablespaces work with the different endian?
    Thanks.
