Rob,

I've faced a slightly similar scenario. The main difference being, I didn't go from a SUN box to a HP box. Instead, it was from one SUN box to another SUN box. The binaries were installed on the other server and the EMC disks connected (if that is the right word) to the server. Everything worked fine after that.

I don;t know whether or not going from HP to SUN would have different issues.

Regards,

Sujatha

Has anyone done the following:

Create a db using Oracle Loaded on an HP Server

The datafiles, controlfiles, etc will be on EMC

Later,
Install the oracle binaries on a SUN Server, basically unplug the HP from the SYMM, and plug in the SUN and bring up the database.

I was asked this yesterday because some of the sun hardware is on back order, and they want to put the project in production before the parts will arrive. There is a spare HP server (bought for another project) they can use until the parts arrive.

I am awaiting an official response from Oracle, but thought I would get your input.

TIA,
