I did an 8.0.something(4 or 5) upgrade to 8.1.6. First I had to reinstall the OS (well actually the sys. admin. dudes did that) from 10.20 to 11. They reinstalled instead of upgrade because it went from 32-bit to 64-bit. Then we put the logical mounts for the database back in and did the upgrade. That really did not take long. Make sure you increase the size of the system tablespace first as 8i needs a bigger one. Also, I am not sure which option puts in the u0000805.sql script in but I did not have it in there and I had to call Oracle and get them all shipped to me. Make sure you have it there first. I have a feeling its the migration portion although that is not the case with 8.0.6.

We want to do an 8.0.5 to 8i upgrade (HPUX). There are six databases on the system where the upgrade is required. How long does the upgrade typically take? What kind of downtime should be expected? Are there any major "gotchas" of doing the 8.0.5 to 8i upgrade?
