ifn it was me, i'd move the database first and then do the upgrade. lessen your chances of failure.;-) if you're keeping the mount points the same, you can just shutdown, copy everything over, and startup. then do the upgrade from there. that worked for me last time i did a move from HP-UX to Solaris. YMMV and all that rot.
