Performing hands-on testing, research and drawing on real-world experiences, Principled Technologies® (PT) documented best practices to help system and database administrators simplify operations and take advantage of the features available with Solaris™ 10 and Oracle® 10g R2.
This complete migration guide reviews the approach that PT and Dell recommend for the tested and validated migration of Oracle 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 to the PowerEdge R900.
When upgrading critical database applications from Oracle 9i on Solaris 9 to Oracle 10g R2 running on Solaris 10, the Dell PowerEdge R900 is an excellent server. 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 over 14 times the performance of the Sun Fire v440.
Review this complete guide and avoid potential problems during migration, and perform basic installation and deployment of your Solaris 10 and Oracle 10g R2 on a Dell PowerEdge Server in less than a day.
