I have always have the doubt with SRDF and similar Technologies.
Can you copy/replicate a Linux Lun (used by ASM) and simply mount it in
another OS? I think there might be problems because for example Linux Disk
Partitions is not the same as Solaris
Thanks

Hi - We are contemplating a move from Solaris OS to linux on systemZ.
Both platforms share the same endian format & while reading thru an
internal email thread, I got this question in my mind.
If DB is currently using ASM and storage is SAN (EMC)., would it be
possible to just disconnect the ASM Disks/storage volumes from current
solaris host and present them to target Linux box?
if I have to go over just OS related header conversion, that would be
fine.. Just thinking if there are ways to avoid moving data (via RMAN or
something else)?
If there is related document on this topic (or how-to), can someone please
point me to that?
Thanks in advance.

Hopefully, you have an SRDF license. Snap your DB luns and mount them onto
the PPC box. If all goes well, there is your way. You will have to put the
database into the backup mode ("ALTER DATABASE BEGIN/END BACKUP") and
recover it to the point in time. Make sure that the snap is mounted to the
same mount point as on the original machine.
