moving databases from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10

edited Aug 29, 2009 1:41AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered
We are planning to move Oracle 9i and 10g databases from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 Server. can we follow the  cold backup method ?

.. shutdown the database ,copy all the files across to new Solaris 10 server .. may have to make changes in the control file (change of path of datafiles) . rest all untouched . Startup the database in Solaris 10 .will this work ?

Oracle suggest export /import for moving database across different hardware platforms .

As the hardware platform is the same , only the OS version is different  will it work ?

Has anybody performed this type of move ? any issues ?.

Regards,

Rohit
