I forgot to mention we looked into golden ate and may use it for the very large > 10tb database which needs minimal downtime. Being 15k per license and pretty sure it’s a per server license. If 15k would do all our databases, management may do it - but for the other 50 databases we need to do... it may be too much licensing cost.

Off hand would you know if GG license is per server - or enterprise?

Thanks
Bob

All - We have a bunch of databases on Solaris 9.2 (big endian) that need
to be upgraded to 11.2 on Linux (little endian).

Since 9i doesn’t have an rman convert datafile, what are the options to
make the move in one shot?

Im pretty sure imp/exp can do the smaller databases but most of them are
large, so that won’t be an option.

I bet another suggestion is to upgrade first to 10... then use rman
convert, I don’t think management will support a "two hop" upgrade.
(double work, double outage, double testing)

Does anyone have firsthand experience of the hard and fast options for
this situation?

I did some initial research and its all saying imp/exp or go to 10 first.

Im looking for other options. (if any)

Much Appreciated

Bob
