We are in the process of moving an Oracle DB 10g from AIX to HP. Old DB is in non ASM, while the new one will be in ASM. I found this<http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/dbxptrn.htm#CHDHCIDA>and this<http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmasm.htm#BABJAFIF>related to moving the DB using Transportable DB and moving files from non ASM to ASM. It looks like it is not possible to directly move from non ASM to ASM from one platform to other in one step. Does it have to be a 2 step process of moving into non ASM in the new hardware and then converting/moving that to ASM? Thanks.
