RE: Re[1]: How to change to new ORACLE_HOME while upgrading to 9.2.0.6 ?

No Oracle does not support the TAR method, however , it DOES work providing you use the -p option along with the others The -p will preserve the permissions on all files ...and you need it on the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle file or else nothing works for users other than oracle.

 tar -cvpf tarball $ORACLE_HOME

then of course use the -p on the "un"tar

tar -xvpf

Oracle did not used to support that method of installing Oracle. There may also be issues with the Inventory.

Why not just create a $ORACLE_BASE/product/9.2.0.6 directory. Install 9.2.0.1 into there and then upgrade it to 9.2.0.6. That can all be done well before the day o fthe migration.

Hi,
  You have to install 9201, and then upgrade it to 9206.   But to shorten the downtime, you can pre-install such a copy on another host, make a tar file, copy it to the target box and relink it. all these can be done without affect existing instance.   also edit listener.ora file and copy tns.ora
