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

You need to have a look at one of the main db groups for that. I reckon you could do transportable tablespaces as long as there are no endian problems......

Can upgrade to R12 with Maintenance Wiz be combined with platform migration

Hello,
Planning to upgrade our EBS 11i instance to R12. The source and target application servers are different and database server remains same.
Source Instance
Apps Server Deatails
Name : A1
OS : Linux 32 bit (RHEL 5)
EBS version: 11.5.10.2
DB Server Details
Name: D1
OS: Linux 64 bit (RHEL5)
DB version : 11.2.0.2
Destination Instance
Apps Server Deatails
Name : A2 ( Please note tha the server has been changed, as the OS is changed from 32 bit to 64bit)
OS : Linux 64 bit (RHEL 5)
EBS version: 11.5.10.2
DB Server Details
Name: D1 (No change in Server)
OS: Linux 64 bit (RHEL5)
DB version : 11.2.0.2
How to achieve this upgrade using Maintenance Wizard as the application servers OS will be changed during the upgrade?
Can you refer any document for the same?
I searched the forum but could not find anything related.
In the manual I see it is possible to set the platform when defining nodes, but it this meant/enough to also use this for a platform migration?
Thanks. Regards, Carlo.
Edited by: Carlo den Otter on May 6, 2013 7:05 AM

Yes you can use Maintenance Wizard to upgrade and move to a different platform. The tool does not care that you are switching platforms. It will perform all the 11i steps on the old platform / server. When you get to the 12.1 portion, Maintenance Wizard will execute the steps on the 12.1 platform. So just define the 12.1 nodes using the new platform os and you should be fine.

Oracle Application R12.1.1 Migration from Solaris to Linux 64-bit

Hi,
Our existing System:
On Solaris 9:
Database 10.2.0.2
EBS 11.5.10.2
We are planning to Upgrade the system to
Database 11.2.0.3
EBS R12.1.3
We also want to migrate to RHEL 5 64-bit.
Please let me know if you have experience with respect to the following issues:
1. Can I use *Application Tier Platform Migration with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 [ID 438086.1]* as reference for my scenario? The document mentions that only Windows is supported as the source platform.
2. When they copy APPL_TOP from source to target - how the binaries from source operating system will work on target operating system? Else, are they platform independent?
3. Will the following approach work?
a. Migrate 10.2.0.2 database from source (Solaris) to target (RHEL 5 64-bit).
b. Upgrade 10.2.0.2 database to 11.2.0.3 on target.
c. Install R12.1.1 in upgrade mode on target.
d. Retrofit customization.
e. Upgrade R12.1.1 to R12.1.3
Also can you recommend best practise for Migrating database?
Thanks in advance.

Note: Application Tier Platform Migration with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (Doc ID 438086.1) reads: "The instructions in this document are for migration to a target UNIX/Linux platform. At present, Windows is only supported as a source platform."
Note the word SOURCE. So the restriction is Windows cannot be used as a TARGET platform, but other platforms can.
The content of the APPL_TOP is re-used in the Target environment, except for the binaries; these are delivered by applying the "customer-specific update" as in Note : Application Tier Platform Migration with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (Doc ID 438086.1)
For information on the database migration check Note: 10g Release 2 Export/Import Process for Oracle Applications Release 11i (Doc ID 362205.1) and http://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/entry/migrating_ebusiness_suite_databases_between_platfo
The scenario seems OK, but needs to be tested of course.
For information related to upgrading the database for the EBS upgrade check Note: Database Preparation Guidelines for an E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Upgrade (Doc ID 761570.1)

Oracle E-business suite database migrate from AIX to Linux

Oracle 11i application database migration from single Aix instance to oracle Linux cluster RAC.
What is the easy way to migrate?
Migrate single instance from aix to linux cluster.
OR
Migrate single instance from aix to linux cluster RAC.
We have installed oracle Linux cluster.
Please help me which way I can go with RAC.
Thanks
Prince

Migrating to a single instance will be the simplest. The migration itself will not be much different between the two because you're migrating from one platform to another. The options you have available are, the traditional IMP/EXP, datapump, and RMAN to migrate to either a standalone or RAC environment. The difficulty will be in creating a RAC environment and a little a few extra steps in the RMAN restore. Working with RAC will make things harder, but the actual migration is similar. The steps to IMP/EXP, whether it's traditional or Datapump will be no different. However, standing up a RAC database will be.

Migration from G4 iMac to new(ish) Macbook

My daughter is graduating HS (yay!) and going to a great college in the fall (double yay!) and her grandma has given her a nearly-new white MacBook (2.16Ghz) (triple yay!) as a graduation present. Grandma, bless her heart, decided she needed a faster machine. Some people buy sports cars, Grandma likes having the newest and sleekest Mac. We love Grandma!
I am reading up on the steps to help daughter migrate her data from the G4 iMac (which also came from grandma) to the Macbook. It seems fairly simple, and I've done Target Disk before so don't think I can go far wrong but if anyone can check/correct these steps:
1. Backup everything important from the iMac. (mainly her photo and music libraries as all her work is HS related and she's happy to be rid of it) DONE
2. MacBook has grandma's account and preferences set, so we should restore from the install disks to get a fresh start. Right?
3. Once the MacBook is set up with her new account, migrate her stuff over via TDM. I think Migration Assistant won't work due to the disparity between machines.
4. De-authorize the iMac from our family iTunes account (already maxed out) and authorize the MacBook.
5. Install any needed software (MS Office & ?) from disks or .dmg.
6. Either pass iMac on to sibling or completely wipe it and sell it for $10. It has some ailment that is causing me to have to reset the PMU, so I suspect imminent component failure. Excellent time to upgrade!
Thanks for any tips, suggestions, or corrections!

Please read the following about migrating from a PPC to an Intel Mac:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:

MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)

If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Migrate from G5 Dual 2.5 to 24in Intel iMac

Hi all, could any of the Guru's here give me some advice. I am migrating my set up from a Power Mac G5 Dual 2.5 to an Intel iMac 24in 2.3. What's the best way of bringing my apps, fonts and settings across to the new machine?

I would consider simply reinstalling your third-party applications. All OS X applications are universal binary versions or Intel-only versions. They should not be replaced by your older PPC equivalents.

Platform Migration Clarification

Greetings,
We are doing a platform migration of an E-Business R12.1.1 environment. We originally got to R12.1.1 by directly upgrading from 11.5.9.2 back in December, 2009.
Our source platform is: W2003 runs Apache and Forms, and "everything else" is on HPUX PA-RISC. Our target platform is HPUX Itanium. We will not be moving over our W2003 node; rather, the HPUX Itanium will do everything (that's the plan for now).
In following Metalink Note 438086.1, the last notation on Section 1 states: "if you have upgraded the tech stack components to higher versions than those included with the 12.0.4 install media, they will have to be upgraded..."
I would like to clairify what this means. My interpretation is that when we run Section 2, Step 6 "Install the Application Tier Technology Stack" that we are to use the R12.1.1 DVD media. Is this assumption correct?
Thanks...colin

Colin,
Your assumption is correct. In addition to that, you will need to consider upgrading to the latest OracleAS 10g and Developer 10g patchset (_if applicable_) as per (Note: 454811.1 - Upgrading to the Latest OracleAS 10g 10.1.3.x Patch Set in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12) and (Note: 437878.1 - Upgrading Forms and Reports 10g in Oracle Applications Release 12).
You could log a SR to confirm this with Oracle support.
Thanks,
Hussein
