Oracle 8.1.7.x Upgrade

[Don Spare]

I am in the process of upgrading my Oracle 8.1.6.0 to 8.1.7.3/4. I, so far, have been unable to find any information in the Oracle manuals as to what is the minimum HP-UX patch level to be at for this new version. Can anyone point me in the right direction or even provide me with this information? I will be greatly appreciative.

Don,

"..minimum patch level" is kind of relative to how often you patch your systems currently.

I would look at the documentation closely provided from Oracle, and then if you have support from HP, have your ASE do an analysis.

I am upgrading from 8.1.7.3 to 8.1.7.4 and I have to add 4 patches and adjust 3 kernel parameters.

I attached the Oracle PDF that kind of describes how to upgrade Oracle to 8.1.7.4

HTH, Good Luck!

Hi Don


Here is the bare minimum :




There is a HP patch (PHSS_22478) that have to be applied before the oracle upgrade. Also, the HP Unix system configration must be verified and make any necessary changes based on the Oracle 8.1.7 requirement.
