I'm cloning a database AIX ver 4.1 ,oracle 7.2.3. of size 10gb.The destination db is unfortunately not the same version AIX ver 4.2 oracle 7.3.4.3 . My question is DO ORACLE & UNIX versions have to match, when I'm doing a dd copy from source to destination ? MY gut feeling says yes , but I'm unsure. Different colleagues seem to have different opinions ! On the source db neither Oracle nor UNIX versions can be upgraded due to various constraints. Please dont tell me to do, RTFM , it hasnt helped !

Thanks

Raja
