RE: Upgrade 8.1.7.0 to 8.1.7.4.x Tru64 Parallel Server/ More ques

Hi,

Thanks for the info. This install was completed succesfully yesterday.

One more question with 9i on TRU64. Do you have any suggestions based on experience for Kernel settings with 6 databases on one TRU64 machine (4 * 9i and 2 * 8i)??. My Unix/Oracle experience is with AIX and there you did not need to worry about them.

I assume that the existing 8.1.7.0 environment is already running OPS. In that case, the 8.1.7.4 patchset should apply successfully. If it is a TruCluster 5.x or higher, it would be a Cluster File System, in which
case it would most probably be a single ORACLE_HOME shared by both nodes. [I have a 9iRAC install on TruCluster that way]. In that case, only one ORACLE_HOME needs to be patched !
Data Dictionary scripts are against the database so they need to be run only once.
