Hi,

I took a cold backup of 9i datafiles and copied them to the new 10g 64-bit server
I installed the 10g 64-bit Oracle Home

On the new 10g server,

I recreated the controlfile to point to the new location of the datafiles and ran
SQL> startup upgrade

It failed saying that database should be open in resetlogs or no resetlogs mode

I shutdown the db and did a startup mount and SQL>alter database open resetlogs;

This time it failed saying that database should be opened in upgrade option.

I am unable to proceed with the upgrade. Anyone ever faced this issue?

Regards,
Ashwin
