Hi Gurus,
I have the following situation:
Have Oracle 10.2 Database (about 672 Gigs) on Linux RH platform.  We take Cold backups daily for this database.

Need to move this database to a Virtual Machine - The Virtual machine will also be on Linux RH.  Source and Target hosts are different.
While moving the Database to Virtual Machine, my Company also considering to move from oracle 10.2 to 11g R2.
In these circumstances, what options I have to move data from one particular host to a virtual machine and also from 10.2. to 11g R2.  
I am particularly interested to know whether I can restore to 11g R2  from cold backups of 10.2.

Howdy, Stranger!
