Uprade from 10.20 and Oracle 7.3.3 to 11.0 and Oracle 8i

[Jon McDermott]

To upgrade from Oracle 7.3.3 on HP-UX 10.2 to Oracle 8i on HP-UX 11.0, you need to do the following (according to Oracle):

1. backup everything

2. upgrade HP-UX to 11.0 - make sure you get all the HP-UX patches that Oracle recommends

3. Install Oracle 7.3.3 for HP-UX 11.0 on your system, running any upgrade scripts Oracle recommends for the database

4. Install Oracle 8i on your HP-UX 11.0 system, and migrate your database. Oracle 8i has a migration utility that will do the migration of the db for you.

There are a number of notes and alerts on Oracle's Metalink web site that deal with various issues regarding these steps, you should review them before you upgrade.

Hope this helps,
Jon
