Migrating Solaris Oracle to HP-UX Oracle

[Phillip Thayer]

On the Veritas question, if the Solaris system is using VxVM can we use that on HP-UX as the file system to mirror the volume to the EVA and migrate it to a VxFS voilume later on?

John,

That is great input I will make sure to include all of that in the plan if I cannot find a way to simply do a volume copy or something similar.

there are two ifs.

You need veritas volume manager AND veritas filesystems on both nodes.

You will need to find some kind of cable to connect your old disk-systems to your new itanium-server or from your "old" solaris server to your EVA.

If you have answers on above ifs you can mirror data between your old disk-system and your new EVA. I did the same with old A5200 disk systems and a new (StorageTek)SAN.

O.K. That's great. I will ask them about these two items and make sure they have it. I'll keep this thread open until I find out more.

hi phil,

think parallel export
think parallel import

think partial incremntal export/imprt for some of the huge tables that have mostly imports..


above all, find some time to perform a test

that's the only wise way ahead!

kind regards
