Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: 8i to 9i clone
If you're talking about the RMAN cloning process, I've never tried it
but it should be possible, at least in theory. RMAN cloning needs
a) Valid backup b) The "AUX" instance. c) RMAN catalog.
Now, I know that 8.1.7.1 RMAN executable can use the catalog created with
9.2.0.3
(tested personally), and of course, 9.2.0.3 database can use catalog created
by 9.2.0.3.
What RMAN executables do is to copy the database files over to the AUX
location, rename
the database by manipulating the control file and open the database. The
answer to your
question is the same as to whether 9.2 software can open 8.1.7 database.
Dunno, haven't
tried, but it should be possible because formats of the block and the rowid
are pretty
much the same.

List,
Has anybody cloned a 8i database and moved it over to 9i? I want to clone a database that is on 8.1.7 AIX 4.3 32-bit now, move it to a different server that is running 9iRel2 AIX 5 64-bit. Is this possible and has it been done?
thanks,
David Ehresmann
