AIX to Solaris Migration

Size of the database :- 5 Terrabyte

Option 1 -> Transportable Tablespace -> use expdp, error prone ( user) , time consuming.

Option 2 -> Use rman convert -> Will take forever as it will make a exact copy of each datafile.

Option 3 -> Shift and Load ( Endian is same ) can we not just copy the raw datafiles and bring the database up?

Obviously Oracle Corp wont support it but there are a few vendors who are suggesting this is safe to do, can I please get an expert opinion on this.

Howdy, Stranger!
