Aah ! Hint, hint that some certain RDBMS vendor will offer cross-platform
compatibility of database files soon.

In THEORY HP datafiles and Sun data files are compaible. That is you
can just move the HP data files to the Sun server and recreate the data
files. Both data files are in same endianness and they are cross
platform compatible.
There is no tool to convert a datafile from one OS format to another OS
format. Some time back, some one (Guess who??) tried developing a tool
and the idea was dropped since Oracle started addressing this issue as
a standard feature inside the RDBMS product. So there is no third party
tool available in the market to do that conversion and I don't expect
any new tools to do that.
Having said that, that above said method is NOT officially supported by
Oracle in current versions. You have to wait for some more time to get
that officially supported by Oracle (clue!!)
If you have a faster interconnect CTAS will be much faster than export
import method, I remember seeing some comparitive numbers in Metalink..
Have you checked that?
Have a nice day !!
