Migrate data from tru64 unix 4.0F to HP Unix 11.11

[patrick_119]

Hi,

We are in the process of upgrading to oracle apps 11i on HP Ux 11.11

previous to this we had oracle apps (prior version) running on a Compaq AS4100 with tru64 unix 4.0F

On the tru64 box we use 'vdump' to back whole mountpoints and 'vrestore' to restore.

what do you think is the best way to backup and restore data from tru64 to hp unix 11.11 . since these would be database files i think we may have sizes larger that 2 gb.

Need some ideas on how to proceed with this. I am a bit new to this.

Also how can we backup from one mountpoint say /d01 on tru64 and restore to maybe another say /apps on hp unix 11.11

any tips, help would be very welcome to me to plan for this. We have now prepared the TEST rp5470 server with HP UX 11.11 and will very soon want to export data from our OLD TEST server on tru64 to this new one.

Would be gratefull if someone could point me in the right direction.

thanks

Patrick

Hi,

there are different ways to go.

1. cd /d01;tar cv . cd /apps;tar xv
2. use rcp
3. export /apps on hp and mount nfs drive on tru64 and copy to it.

greetings,

Michael

Hi Patrick,
I would use tar.In my environment we have a mix of Tru64/HP/Sun.Tru 64 i used vdump to backup.But when I moved data from Tru64 to HP I used Unix.But if you are moving the database from Tru64 to HP,you better used export/import.
Last week,I tar the oracle file from Tru64 and untar at HP.(Try to duplicate the database).Next try to recreate the control file and it gave me "cannot find system tablespace" (eventhough the file exist).End up I used export/import and work like charm.

Hope this help.

thanks mB,

confirmed this with my DBA. export is definitely preferable.

Different platform & different OS, for the Oracle database you must use export/import
