Migrating from HP-UX to AIX

Hi All,

      We are planning to migration one of our Oracle 9i databases from HP-UX to AIX. What are our options? Upgrading our database to 10g in this process will be a plus. Our database size if 2.5 TB, so export/import is the least preferred option.

       Couple of weeks back, I was in an Oracle presentation and I tossed this question to the group. I got the following options from them. Please suggest more options and add your comments.

1. 10g has a fast export and import feature. Can we use 9i's export and 10g's fast import or do a fast export using 10g client from a 9i database?
2. One guy the Oracle presentation claimed that he has done an RMAN clone across platforms. If it works, our migration effort will be reduced considerably.
3. Upgrade the database to 10g and use transportable tablespaces to migrate data

Thanks,
