Migrating from HP to Solaris

Hi All,
Could any of you please point me to some document/whitepaper for migrating an Oracle 9i database currently on a HP server to an Oracle 9i database on Sun?
Regards,
Sriraman

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
What I am looking for is a kind of general outline of the procedure to do the migration and also any major issues that I will have to look out for.
All the info that I have been given till date is that the database is about 250GB in size, with about 3000 stored procedures and about 500 packages.
The project is not thru yet, but I want to be prepared. Also, from the research I have done so far, will using Transportable Tablespaces be of use, or should I do a full DB export?
One last question, would I have to recompile the procedures and packages?
All guidance is appreciated.
Thanking you once again,
Regards,
Sriraman

Retain SAMBA permissions while migrating from linux to solaris 10 x86

Hello,
We are migrating a system from Redhat to Solaris 10 x86 and this has brought up a question on how we can restore our SAMBA files and retain our permissions that are associated by the users name rather then their numeric ID(UID/GID). So far my research hasnt produced anything that gives a solid answer to how we do this and is it even possible.
The problem is that Windows user and group accounts are mapped locally per host by default. That mapping is defined as the accounts are referenced, so unless there is a way to guarantee the order of accounts being referenced, the mappings from Windows SIDs to Unix UIDs will be different between old and new.
If the data restoration option we choose for the new server is naive and restores only by UID and GID, the permissions in the ACLs will not map to the correct Windows accounts. We either must find a restoration option which restores permissions by name rather than ID or we must create a script which can automate pushing the ACLs into the restored filesystem correctly by name.
Initially I thought ufsdump could handle this but we are on ext3 filesystem going to vxfs. I have read a little on star but havent heard about it before. Has anyone used star for backup/restore for the purpose of retaining ACL ownership/permissions? It seems like its an old utility, maybe not used much anymore. Does anyone have a utility they have used for this purpose?
Your help is much appreciated!!

The problem is that Windows user and group accounts are mapped locally per host by default. That mapping is defined as the accounts are referenced, so unless there is a way to guarantee the order of accounts being referenced, the mappings from Windows SIDs to Unix UIDs will be different between old and new.Is there anyway that you can sanitize and post a small snippet of what's going on with the mapping files? I think I can follow this but I'm a bit confused by the username/UID thing since usually if a username is defined in /etc/passwd than the files will display the username. If a username is not defined in /etc/passwd then the ls command will revert to just showing the numbers which I take it is what you don't want to happen.
If you could also sanitize and post even one of the acl's that might help clear up that portion of the problem as well.

Zone MIgration from V440 with Solaris 10 (118833-20) to M4000

Has anyone successfully migrated zones from V440 running Solaris 10 (118833-20) onto M4000 running Solaris 10 08/07?
Thanks!

If you make sure the M4000 is running Solaris 10 10/08 then the zone should be upgraded the moment you attach the zone on the M4000.

Unable to update zones after migrating from SRU13 to Solaris 11 Release

When attempting to migrate to 11-release, I ran into a bizarre problem when I began to migrate my zones to the new format. It would appear that there is an erroneous and hardcoded pkg publisher somewhere in the toolchain. During a zoneadm attach -u:

Migrating from SunFire v1280 to T4 servers

Hi all,
I will be soon tasked with the migration from a SunFire v1280 server to a new T4, not sure if it will be T4-1 or T4-2, server. The v1280 is running Solaris 10 with a number of applications that the client wants to preserve and keep running, they include Oracle DB, WebLogic and a few others.
Is there a way that I can clone the OS on the v1280 and install it on the T4? flash archive maybe or some other method? I've been looking into the Oracle documentation but I cant find what I need, maybe I will find the info I need here.
The problem is that there is a bunch of software components at work here and the client wants minimal downtime. Both machines are Sparc servers, yes I know they are almost a decade apart, but thats where the Solaris binary comparability kicks in, right?
If you need more info let me know :)
p.s: I posted something similar a few months ago, not sure if I did it on this forum, if I did sorry for the double post.

Hi,
I already did some migrations from systems running solaris 10 to a new system.
The best way that i have found is the following.
1) On the new system make sure you have the latest solaris 10 or even solaris 11.
2) On the machine that you want to migrate stop all processes and create a flar from the system.
If there is storage that is connected to that sytem make sure you do an exclude off that filesystem so that you can import those luns in the new system.
3) on the new system create a zone with the same hostid and ip address.
4) import the flar into the zone.
If you want i can give you a conrete example that i have tested already.
Migrated a E2900 + V440 towards an M5000.
The external storage had a zfs fileystem

Migration from Sun solaris 8 to Solaris 10

Hi,
We are migrating from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 with the compiler migration also earlier we are using Sun Studio 6 and now it is Sun Studio 11.
When we are compiling the code on Solaris 10 which has been running on the Solaris 8, we are facing some error. So could you help me on this
"ResourceManager.h", line 98: Warning (Anachronism): Type names qualified by template parameters require "typename".
"ConnectionMgr.h", line 62: Where: While specializing "ResourceManager<T>".
"ConnectionMgr.h", line 62: Where: Specialized in non-template code.
"ResourceManager.h", line 100: Warning (Anachronism): Type names qualified by template parameters require "typename".
"ConnectionMgr.h", line 62: Where: While specializing "ResourceManager<T>".
"ConnectionMgr.h", line 62: Where: Specialized in non-template code.
2 Warning(s) detected.
make[1]: *** [obj/ConnectionMgr.o] Error 2
Not sure of the warning , am not able to see these error on the compilation on Sun Studio 6.Below is the bit of the header file code, where the error is occurring.
98 typedef map<ResourceID, ResElement *>::iterator ResMapIterator;
100 typedef list<ResElement *>::iterator ResListIterator;
We are using a /opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC compiler and the verison is CC: Sun C++ 5.8
Please help me out about the issue

Since you are jumping several compiler releases and two Solaris releases, you should migrate in two steps.
1. Get your application working with Sun Studio 11 on Solaris 8.
2. You can now run that application on Solaris 10, or you can rebuild it on Solaris 10 and then run it.
An application built on Solaris 8 will run on Solaris 9 and 10.
An application built on Solaris 10 cannot be run on Solaris 8 or 9.
We promise upward binary compatibility, allowing an old binary to be used with a newer compiler or on a newer Solaris. But we can't promise source code compatibility because we don't want to have to duplicate old bugs in old compilers.
C++ 5.8 in Sun Studio 11 detects errors that older compilers might have missed. The rules about where to use "typename" are one example.
I would not expect the warning about typename to be generated by either of the source code lines that you show, but I can't really tell without seeing a compilable example.
You need to use typename when you use a type that depends on a template parameter. Example:
template <class T> class C1 {
public:
typedef T Type;
template <class T> class C2 {
public:
typename T::Type a;
C2< C1<int> > c2i;If in C2 you do not specify typename, the compiler does not know whether T::Type is intended to be the name of a type. If it is not a type, the code is always invalid. The C++ rule is that if an an identifier is not known to be a type, it is not a type. You use typename to tell the compiler that T::Type is supposed to be the name of a type.

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.

Application Migration from HP-UNIX to SUN Solaris

Hi Gurus,
Need help on the application migration from HP-UNIX to Sun Solaris . Copied the filesystems APPL_TOP, OA_HTML, OA_JAVA, COMMON_TOP/util and COMMON_TOP/_pages from SOURCE( HP) to TARGET SUN-solaris as per 238276.1
Now trying to clone Autoconfig XML context file on the TARGET System
perl adclonectx.pl migrate java=\opt\java1.4 \
contextfile=\ul01\app\applmgr\lasrx\admin\LASRX_fiapd4.xml
Error: source context file ul01appapplmgrlasrxadminLASRX_fiapd4.xml does not exist.
Questions:
======
1. we still need to install jdk in the TARGET or copy the file system from source(HP) to target( Solaris) bring the JDK and how to check jdk on Solaris?
2. In clone autoconfig XML, contextfile=? Is the location of SOURCE or TARGER?
3. I think running above with root permission.
Please help somebody on this issue.
Thank You.

Hi Hussein,

Db migration from Solaris 8i to windows 10g

There is requirement to move db from solaris8(dbversion8170 to window Server 2003 (10204 already installed)
DB is about 80gb big, what would be the best approach ?
I am thinking to create new db on windows, and export and import data.....any concerns/suggestion?
Source System
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 8.1.7.4.0 - Production
CORE 8.1.7.0.0 Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 8.1.7.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 3.4.1.0.0 - Production
Target System
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production
TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production

what are other options i can try ?I only mention this approach because you asked. I wouldn't recommend it as a general strategy. exp/imp is the most straight-forward.
We are in the process of migrating from 9.2.0.6 to 11.1.0.7 (11.2 is not an approved standard yet in our enterprise), moving from Solaris to Linux, and consolidating two related instances into one.
We had to handle some unique situations due to our consolidation, so we did a lot of the steps manually that exp/imp does for you. A side benefit of this extra work is the actual down time is can be less than exp/imp itself, and avoids the need to dump all the data to disk and read it all again. We have about 500GB to migrate. It is a lot more work than a simple exp/imp, and is probably not be worth the effort for a single 80GB instance.
Our steps (oversimplified, there are more details than this) :
Set up the new instance and configure storage
Create users and roles in new DB
export structure only (using 9i exp)
import structure only (using 11g imp), without indexes or constraints
copy data (insert /*+APPEND*/ into.. select * from ... over a database link)
create indexes and constraints
Handling LONG data, materialized views, interdependencies between schemas each presented their own special circumstances I had to deal with.
The other path to get from 8i to 10g (mentioned only for academic reasons) is do a series of upgrades-in-place to get from 8i to 10.2.0.4 then use cross-platform transportable tablespaces to go from Solaris to Windows.

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).
> 2. Is UltraSPARC+IV processor is supported for Oracle 10g
Yes. Solaris 10 on SPARC Is supported.

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 .
