If you are taking the effort to do an upgrade that big (i.e. Physical
Machinery and Database Version) you might as well go all the way to 10g and
bypass all the headaches that 9 brings to the table and just deal with the
headaches that 10g brings.

Subject: 8.1.6 to 9.2.0.4 migration ?


This is a upgrade question. We're running 8.1.6 on SGI.
Oracle discontinued SGI support a while back. I was told
by the program manager how do we get this to a Solaris machine ?

This s a 300 GIG database - production. We had planned to
go to 8.1.7 but now the terminal release is 8.1.7.4.

If you were building a new system on Solaris I am thinking that I'd
like at least 9.2.0.4.

What steps would you take on the old system and new to get there ?
Do you have to go to 8.1.7.4 on the old first, Can you use
RMAN then to duplicate the database on Solaris using a 8.1.7.4 base
for a 9.2.0.4 system. I need a plan to do this.

Appreciate any ideas you can share.
