Tru64 -> HPux Migration Options

[Danilo Martinez]

I have to migrate a big Alpha Platform from
Tru 64 to Superdome HP-UX.
These system run Oracle with Adfvs and LSM raw
devices where the Database is stored.

What options do I have to migrate the data
more efficently & fast?

I think I dont have another option that to do
and export & import because HPux dosent know LSM but maybe of you have any another interesting idea???

Thanks

HP knows how to help you.

HP has invested 100+ manyears to make the transition, should you chose to make it, as smooth, as fast, as relyable as possible.

HP specifically focused on Oracle dtabases for this using various techniques (including export/import) depending on speeds and feeds.

Do NOT take no for an answer as you ask HP again. They have the whitepapers, the knowldge, the experience. Please insist on them making it avaibale to you. Sounds like you had bad luck asking a first time.

There is much, much more information then I could possibly answer here. You could start out with: http://h30097.www3.hp.com/transition/index.html

btw... if you get stuck using your normal (sales) support channels, send me a mail and I'll see if I can make some shortcuts: hein at hp dot com.

hth,

In Theory:
export database to tape in common format (like tar, networker etc.). Prepare HPUX filesystem (depending if cluster or not), read data back from tape.

But Hein is correct, ask HP for assistent.
Btw. LSM is not supported by HPUX. ADVFS differences between Tru64 and HPUX.
