Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Multiple Oracle Versions on Same Host (Workgroup 8.0.6 & Ente
No issues... Just define a strategy on how you want to implement things of
this nature.
We have multiple database servers running multiple versions of Oracle. We
have Enterprise servers running 7.3.4 thru 9.2 on the same box. But build a
plan/strategy.. and stick to it to remove the "emotions"
Our is encompassing statement is:
Each database on a server will maintain it's own copy of the Oracle
binaries.
Yes-there is some redundant copies of the binaries that equates to wasted disk space. But this fits in with the overall strategy of the Enterprise DB servers within the environment... So for example-part of the strategy requires each install/database has it's "own" file system. Another requirement would be the ability to totally separate any dependencies between the Oracle/DB environments. There are several other details as part of the strategy-but not to bore the list with those...
The caveat that we have ran into is the kernel parameters need to be set accordingly to handle the necessary semaphore/shared memory requirements (As well as open file descriptors...)
Overall-it can work fine as long as you have a strategy/plan....

Enterprise 8.1.7 on AIX
There is a desire to consolidate some Unix servers. A couple of the servers are using Oracle 8.0.6 Standard (formerly Workgroup server) and the intended
target servers already have 8.1.7 Enterprise. The source/target servers are using AIX 4.3. My understanding is that the application on 8.0.6 is not certified/supported on 8.1.7 by its vendor, yet.
Does anyone know if there are any problems/issues with doing this? Any advice on the procedures would be appreciated (in a non-monetary way - just like most corporate rewards programs).
Thanks,
David
