Joel,
9.2.0.5 for sun Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, etc still appears to be
available. Having a new platform that complies with transporting the
database in 10g will save you time, but as I remember that won't work
for 9i so you need to plan from an export/import process. Now will you
existing tools word, well you know grid is available so that's not an
issue. As for the others is they work from a remote server, like your
desktop, you've got no problems there. Some of your shell scripting may
not work as expected, but those can be updated. The biggest problem is
the applications your running. If they don't support the OS your moving
to then your stuck and if they do you had better plan of testing them
thoroughly. The off hours work is going to be one of those things that
you'll have to suffer with. Users are a 9 to 5 crowd, but servers
aren't.

Subject: Moving oracle to new platform.
I have time to answer this.
Our sys admin wants to do a hardware refresh essentially moving from
solaris Sun Sparce 5.8, 5.9 to 5.10 (and virtualize) on Sun Sparc.
Management has asked him to write up (cost analysis), and consider other
platforms such as HU-UX, x86, AIX, ...
Especially Solaris 5.10 on x86. (cost).
Not sure if your first reaction is the same as mine....
I'll check the obvious like pre-requisites for transportable
tablespaces, but there may be considerations that are not coming
directly to mind that have costs... Like will all my existing tools
continue to work. The down time and testing. Applications and oracle
binaries need to be re-installed,
These are fairly straight forward and out of the box. Is there
something in your experiences you can recall and mention? We have
9.2.0.5, 10.1.0.2, 10.1.0.4, and 10.2.0.4, Also Enterprise manager Grid
Control, (and this would be a new IP I'm sure - groan).
Is 9.2.0.5 software still available for new platform?
