You can follow these steps if your current database version is
supported on the new OS version to which you are going to upgrade to.
1) Shutdown your Oracle DB and do a full backup of the DB and a full
system-level backup.
2) Perform the OS upgrade
3) Run "gensyslib" from the "ORACLE_HOME/bin" directory.
4) Relink the Oracle database and any Oracle Tools and other programs.
When you upgrade the operating system, the version of many OS-level
utilities (such as Motif and the C compiler) may change. Relinking
Oracle and your other products makes certain that the database and
tools are using the libraries and utilities which are currently on the
system.
