Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Oracle 32-bit to 64-bit (AIX)
Tracy,
I've not actually done this but I did a fair amount of research on a year or
so ago as I thought I was going to have to do it. From what I can remember you
can do what you suggest but I THINK you will need to install 8.1.7.4 on the
AIX 5.1 machine first.
Also I'm aware that there are a number of complications regarding 32 bit vs 64
bit as far as AIX is concerned. This MAY mean you need to run AIX 5.1 in "32
bit" mode to allow the 8.1.7.4 install, now don't worry you can still run
9.2.0.4 at the same time even though it's 64 bit. This seems wrong but trust
me you can do it, there are a number of notes on Metalink that talk about
exactly this.
HTH and that I've not raised too many more questions in your own mind.
Chris
