Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Server upgrade NT4 -> W2K Oracle implications
Recreating the C: drive will definitely destroy your Oracle registry entries and your Oracle and listener services. Doing an in-place upgrade should not and will also give you a more stable server. Ghosting is much easier but it can produce an unstable machine that will intermittently suffer a GPF for no apparent reason. I can understand why a company bringing in 500 new machines will resort to ghosting but to do it for just a single machine ... I can't justify that in my own mind.
Have them do the NT to 2K upgrade rather than recreate the C: partition.

We have an 8.1.7 SE database on a server which is currently NT4 SP6. The
System Admin group wish to upgrade the server to W2K and propose doing so
by
recreating the C: partitition. Our Oracle software resides on E: (same
physical disk) and database files on other disks/partitions. Are there any
implications for the Oracle software and database for this upgrade. Are
there any steps I need to take pre or post OS upgrade?. In particular I'm
wondering about implications for the registry.
Any advice/help would be appreciated.
