Subodh - why do you think I'm asking about alternatives? :)
Again, I don't have the stats for the server in question - I took the 4 GB in
14 minutes from the web as an example - I have no idea what I/O to expect since
I've never done a conversion across endians.
Thanks,
Chris Taylor

I was asked about converting a 5 TB 10.2 database on RHEL to a 11.2 database on
AIX.
As I was thinking through this, I understand that to do the conversion from
Linux to AIX the database would have to be at the same version. So, I'd either
have to upgrade prior to moving, or after. Then I was thinking about the RMAN
conversion speed to convert from little endian to big endian and I think I
would have a problem due to the time required.
I don't have access to the exact I/O throughput on the system but if I can
convert 4 GB in 14 minutes (stats taken from a white paper) through RMAN,
that's close to 1/3 GB per minute. So I could do 1 GB = 3 minutes. (Should I
expect more than 1/3 GB per minute?)
So, if I have 1 TB (approx. 1000GB) that would 3000 minutes. Now if I have 5
TB, that's 15,000 MINUTES (!) to convert through RMAN.
Is that really my only option (or best option anyway)?
What other options should I explore?
