Good afternoon,
We are working on migrating from 9.2.0.4 to 11.2 and we've set up a test machine so that we could test the install and the import (as well as test additional 11g features that we want to begin using).

So we created the database and created all of the tablespaces beforehand.

Our import command is
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/imp system/manager FULL=Y BUFFER=140000 FILE=/dbexport/Lhtech.exp VOLSIZE=2000M GRANTS=Y INDEXES=Y COMMIT=Y IGNORE=Y


However, when we run the import, we get the errors like so:


Import: Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production on Tue Oct 5 15:01:19 2010

IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
Tuesday, October  5, 2010  3:01:40 PM EDT


First of all, the block size in our "newly" created tablespaces is 8192...and these are obviously trying to recreate the tablespaces with a block size of 2048.

2 questions:

1) Why is it not ignoring these create tablespace commands when those tablespaces already exist?
2) how in the world do we get around the block size issue? We've tried nearly everything we could find, but we've still not had any luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I would say that if you really created the tablespaces in your new 11g database then ignore those errors, but based on the message I do not think you did.

Another thing is you cannot create dictionary managed tablespaces in 11g (they were obsoleted long long ago) so even if your blocksize problem ironed itself out, you would have a problem there.

JoyDivision, yeah, that's what's weird. we DID create the tablespaces..and set IGNORE=Y in the import command.


Thanks all for the help.

Are you 100% certain that imp goes against same DB as SELECT above?

yes. that is the only DB on that machine.

edit: Also, the original import was taken from a 32bit sparc and is being (attempted to be) imported onto a 64bit sparc machine...if that makes a difference.

i believe i've been focusing on the wrong problem here.

While the import is throwing errors on the tablespace creates, it's further down in the import when creating the users that i think is actually causing the problem. (not sure why we got hung up on the block size part)

Back on 9i, we had our temporary tablespace created as permanent tablespace.

And unknowingly, we created the temp TS on the 11g DB as a permanent TS also.

So when it trys to create the schema owner of our data, it's failing because of the temp ts declaration.

I really appreciate both of you guys' time on this.

Simply put, import should work.
As a more restrictive test you could try a simple schema import
eliminate FULL=Y & replace with FROMUSER=<username> TOUSER=<username> & then might want to pre-CREATE this USER before import

thanks. I think it's solved now.

we just need to set up our temporary tablespace correctly, and then we'll be fine.
