When we recently upgraded 10g to 11g Grid Control, we did it as a brand new install. Glad we did since it took us a over two weeks to get a clean install. We will probable do the same when we elect to go to 12C.

Sending again with a different email client: I'm finding it very interesting that so many of you on this list opt to upgrade their management servers. At my current site we are evaluating if we shouldn't forget about the current deployment and use the 12c upgrade to get do a tech refresh. New OMS, new load balancers, new database (everything). The risk of doing so is considered less than with an upgrade. For those going for the migration from 11.1 or even 10.2, would you mind sharing your reasons for the upgrade? How many targets do people monitor?
