Re: Moving 7.2.3 from AIX to Sun-Solaris.

I think the short answer would be 'no', as the LVM's are different between the two systems.

Having said that, if you skipped the LVM control blocks on restore - which you should do anyway - the answer might be 'yes'. You'd obviously have to use exactly the same LV names for the raw partitions as that's what Oracle sees for datafiles, unless you were prepared to rename the datafiles along the way.

I'd test it on a small test instance with just few small partitions. Gotta be worth a try, even if it doesn't work.
