RE: pa-risc to itanium migration

Hi Charles, are you aware of the detailed how-to doc that we provide off here - http://h71019.www7.hp.com/ActiveAnswers/cache/116245-0-0-0-121.html - it is the last link.

Also, if you plan to stay at 9iR2 when you move to HP-UX/Integrity, you will see a memory increase per Oracle 9iR2 process - plan on an extra 3MB per process. Once you move to 10gR2 (recommended since 9iR2 is end of life) on HP-UX/Integrity you will reclaim/free the RAM.

I hope this helps! Thanks!

Subject: pa-risc to itanium migration

Good day all,
I would appreciate hearing of any experiences of Oracle database migration from HP-UX PA-RISC to HP-UX Itanium, especially relative to Oracle spincount, cursor sharing, HP-UX config, and any other lurking gems.

Environment:

Oracle: 9.2.0.7 EE, OLTP avg sustained connects: ~3900 HP PA-RISC: HP9000/800/rp8420, 14 cpus, 48877mb, os: 11.11 HP Itanium: rx 7640, 12 cpus, 49017mb, os: 11.23 SAN: EMC, 1GB interconnects, single NIC

Thanks.
