[Quoted] Well, I was pretty sure that both machines would need to be connected to the network. What I am curious about is how the migration utility will take the SQL SERVER database on Windows and transfer it, or put it onto the HP-UX box. I mean, they are totally different operating systems. I'm sure that the migration utility does not care, but during the migration, does it not need an Oracle database and an Oracle Home so it knows where to put all the new datafiles and such???

Or, do I need to install Oracle on the Windows box, migrate the database, then transfer it to an Oracle install on the HP-UX box?
