Re: Install Oracle 8i for HP-UX PA-RISC on HP-UX Itanium?

That makes sense. If you want to use this server and HP-UX, then you'll have to go directly to 9i using export/import. Otherwise, you can do as Gerard suggested and go to Linux so that you can run 8i, if that is possible. Or, see if you can use a different server.
