Database migration to 64-bit and move to ASM
My source is a 10.2.0 single-instance database (32-bit) non-ASM, and my target on a new hardware will be a 11.2.0 RAC database (64-bit) on ASM.
Assuming all required software including Grid Infra are successfully installed, below are the top-level steps:
1- migrate source 10.2.0 database 32-bit to 64-bit
2- move datafiles from file system to ASM
3- upgrade database to 11.2.0
4- convert to RAC
My question is: will it be possible to perform steps 1 & 2 in a single shot? Reason being, these 2 steps involve the hardware move, and we may not have a provision for an extra/staging file system on the new hardware. Appreciate any suggestions.
