9.2.0.8 patchset will want certain hpux patches in place. If you are anywhere relatively current in hpux maintenance shouldn't be any problems.
But why not plan on doing an OS patching process "before" doing the 9.2.0.8 upgrade?
You do the upgrade to the oracle software first then update the database. Certain parts of the process have to be done in a non-RAC operation ( single instance ) ... it's all pretty well documented.

You also have the client on the server do you mean? If so yeah you can do it that way.
You might want to get client updated more than 9.2.0.8. Received on Sat Jan 17 2009 - 10:38:02 CST
