UNIX (AIX) to LINUX Database migration

Hi,
I need to migrate the Oracle database from UNIX(AIX) to LINUX. I have a valid license for the UNIX box but wanted to know if the same license would also work for the LINUX box as well or not. I will be using the license only on one system i.e once the migration is done the database would no longer exist or will use the License key on the UNIX box.
Is it possible to migrate the license or do I need to get a new one for the LINUX box.
Thanks,
Nitesh

The license is for Oracle, so you can put Oracle on what ever O/S you want without affecting the license.

  • Business objects XI v3 under Unix (AIX or Linux) a bad idea?

    Post Author: Ferry Harmusial
    CA Forum: Deployment
    Hello everybody,
    We are planning to upgrade to Business Objects V3 with web-clients and the platform is not yet determined.
    However, from a press release I understood that Linux support for Business Objects is relatively new (august 2005).
    It has been suggested that Business Object support for Unix in general is not as good as Windows support.
    I'm very interested to learn from your experience ....
    Kind Regards,
    Ferry H.

    Just want to add to the original question that:
    the directory (in the error stack from tomcat)
    /apps/truecomp/BOXI31/bobje/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost  is NOT even existing on the
    AIX server which installed BO XI 3.1 SP2.
    Would really appreciate any  comments on this problem, especially from SAP support team.
    We are really stuck here.
    Thanks.

  • Is it possible/recommended to backup SUN, AIX to Linux RMAN backup Server

    We have a number of databases in a mix OS environment and we are considering RMAN. We have a mix of SUN, AIX and Linux database servers. I would like to know if anyone has implemented RMAN in a similar environment and what were any known challenges. Would a single repository work for this scenario? Could we backup/restore SUN/AIX from a Linux backup server....
    Thanks in advance.

    If you  are referring to a single catalog for multiple environments that is possible and works really nicely .
    A catalog database can reside on any platform as  long it is accessible by the target server.
    The backup server concept you are referring to though does t imply that you want the backup pieces from all your mix OS systems i.e. AIX, Solaris etc be stored on one backup server which is on linux. I think that might be possible since you can potentially nfs mount from any OS and store a file. I have not tested this though yet.

  • 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.

    To move/migrate the 11i Apps Database alone means you need to follow the export/import method.
    Please refer the note: 362205.1 "10g Release 2 Export/Import Process for Oracle Applications Release 11i"
    In general steps to follow the DB migration is :
    1. create the complete export file in source database
    2.create a new DB in the target instance
    3.perform the import
    4.create the new auto-config and sync with apps tier

    I am going to do the similar upgrade with replatform at the same time. I collect the information from forum and finally get an indicator to how to do it. You need to read the "Upgrading the Oracle Applications", B19297-01
    "Installing Oracle Applications" B19296-01 and
    "Maintenance Utilities" B19300-01
    The documentation mentioned the way for upgrade an 11.0 version of EBS to latest release including some pre-upgrade tasks including the database version upgrade to work with 11i, etc.

  • DB migration from AIX to Linux

    Dear Experts,
    We are planning to migrate our existing 10g database of 11.5.10.2 from AIX to Linux. Can anyone share their experiences? Some docs/URLS will be helpful. One of my friends told that it takes more than 36 hours to complete the database migration. Is it really true? The current database size is approx. 100GB.
    After the migration does, apps function as usual?
    Thanks in advance.

  • A question about license date validity during OS migration: AIX to Linux

    Dear all,
    I would appreciate if you could kindly give us
    your advice about the following issue.
    We have an environment dedicated for training. The environment was
    initially installed on AIX platform. However, after a while the
    technical direction decided to migrate to Linux.
    The migration was done at 18 September 2009, and during this process
    the very date was chosen and designated by SAP to be the
    valid start date of the new SAP license.
    Now, our problem is, that the data programmed in this SAP envionment
    (used for training) is not compatible with the current date. In
    order to make them work properly, the host system date must always be
    set to the last year (this is because we had unfortunately some delay for
    the migration).
    It is fundamental to remark, that currently, we are absolutely not able to
    modify the data and the sole solution (although not the best one) to
    tackle this problem is to modify the operating system's date. This is
    precisely how we proceeded, but unfortunately we encountered a SAP license
    check problem during logon.
    As I explained, the migration from AIX to Linux was performed at
    18 September 2009, which means, this was the date for the new license.
    Yet, we need to go further in the past and to choose 24th July 2008.
    On the operating system, of course, there is no problem and the
    administrator can modify the host date with the appropriate date, but
    on the other hand, by choosing this date, we are no more able to work
    within this SAP environment. At the logon time, we receive a license
    check error, which is normal, because the host date (24th July 2009) is anterior
    than the start date for the SAP license (18 September 2009).
    Also, we cannot ask for another license, because we will have the same problem,
    they never create a license dated for the last year, and they always create an
    up-to-date license.
    Could you kindly guide us how we can manage to solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Kind Regards,
    Dariyoosh

    I think you're better off opening an OSS message in this particular case.

  • Database Migration best option exp/expdp

    Hi Gurus,
    As a part of an EBS upgrade we need to migrate the DB in 10.2.0.4 from AIX to Linux .The target DB version would be 10.2.0.4 also.
    The database size is around 900 GB.
    I know I can use exp or expdp.
    I need to know as per the experience what you people say is the best approach considering the size of the database.
    And if there are any best practices or parameters that you suggest out of your experience that could speed up the whole process(both the export and import)
    Also let me know if I can use some other approach like RMAN etc. ,for me the approach with minimal downtime would be the best suited .
    Looking for responses.
    Thanks in advance!

    Pl post EBS version - the EBS forums are at https://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=3

  • Dataguard 11g setup between AIX and Linux

    Hi,
    We are planning to move our Oracle databases from AIX 6.1 to Oracle Linux 6.2
    To reduce the downtime, we are thinking of setting up a dataguard (physical or logical) and do the switchover.
    Have you performed this before?
    Will you pls send me the steps?
    Thanks,
    DR

    Hello again;
    I thinking no for the same reason.
    When my shop moved from AIX to Linux we just install Oracle on Linux and patched it to the same level as the AIX. We created users, tablespaces, job etc in advance and then just used import/export to move the needed schema's. Data Pump make this much easier.
    Do a schema(s) compare and switch when ready. But in any event I don't believe Data Guard can help you. You mostly have a migrate issue.
    Please consider closing your question when complete.

  • Using Oralce with Unix (AIX)

    My firm have now started to give me exposure to administering the 9i database using Unix (AIX).
    I have no prior understanding and I know this will take time.
    I need to get up to speed.. I have 9i installed on my machine at home - can I somehow download AIX at home and simply practice there?
    Yes, its a newb question!

    Dan,
    As someone said before in an earlier posting, if you are just trying to get to know Oracle then you can pretty much do everything using any version of Oracle it could be Windows or Unix or Linux. The differences come into play for the setup and other similar things you have to do from a OS command line. However, if you are looking to use sqlplus to access the database and just concentrating on commands in sql then you don't need to worry about Unix vs Windows vs Linux so much.
    You can connect to any database that you have network connectivity to and that has the correct PORTs open. However, this will take some setup to accomplish.
    I would advise working through the 2-Day DBA guide that you can find here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14196.pdf
    I would also look at the Oracle By Examples found here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/10gr2_2day_dba/index.html
    which compliments the other guide.
    The reason that sqlplus can not be found is that it is not in your PATH. The easiest way I have found to setup an environment on a Unix system, is basically find someone's who's environment works (usually oracle) and then go through their .profile and .kshrc files and see what they are calling. Usually they reset their PATH variable at some point to include the Oracle bin directory.
    Someone in your organization should have the knowledge to setup the system to access sqlplus and other things you need. Again, if I had to do it myself I take a few hours to understand how an account like (oracle) is setup and try to set mine up similarly if not exactly the same.
    Regards
    Tim
