Performing hands-on testing, research and drawing on real-world experiences, Principled Technologies (PT) documented best practices in this migration guide summary to help system and database administrators simplify operations and take advantage of the features available with Solaris™ 10 and Oracle® Database 10g Release 2 (R2).
This migration guide summary reviews the approach that PT and Dell recommend for the tested and validated migration of Oracle Database 9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 for Solaris on Scalable Processor Architecture (SPARC)-based systems running on Solaris 9 0/05 OS for SPARC-based systems to Oracle 10g R2 Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 for Solaris on x86_64-based systems, running on Solaris 10 5/08 OS for x86-based systems.
PT examines installing Solaris 10 and Oracle 10g R2 on the Dell™ PowerEdge™ R900 server and migrating user databases from the Sun Fire™ v440 server to the PowerEdge R900.
The Dell PowerEdge R900 server is an excellent choice for upgrading critical database applications from Oracle 9i on Solaris 9 to Oracle Database 10g R2 running on Solaris 10. The PowerEdge R900 provides a migration solution that is more expandable with a more capable RAID controller. In some of the testing, the PowerEdge R900 delivered more than 14 times the performance of Sun Fire v440.
To learn how you can avoid potential problems during migration and perform basic installation and deployment of your Solaris 10 and Oracle Database 10g R2 on a Dell PowerEdge server in less than a day, be sure to review the full migration guide.
