Re: Upgrading from 8.1.7 32 bit to 9.2.0.3 64 bit

I have not done this yet, but I did look into it.

There is one thread in the Metalink forum that I printed the number is 337111.99 (I am not sure if that is the whole number or not, it looks cutoff on the printout). It also references doc 169426.1, which has some good info in it. The basic idea is this:

• Take backup of 8.1.7 32 bit DB on AIX 4.3.3
• Upgrade OS to 5L
• Boot OS in 32 bit mode (even thought the hardware is 64 bit capable)
• You can run 8.1.7 in 32 bit mode like this.

to upgrade to 64bit 9i:

• Backup DB and OS
• Install 9i 64bit
• Upgrade 8i 32 bit to 9i rel 2 64 bit using the installer I'm not too sure on this one:
• Reboot OS in 64 bit mode?

Also try this doc 159657.1 it has a pretty detailed checkllist for the upgrade.

If you aren't running AIX, go to the "top tech docs" section of Metalink, choose the "upgrade and migration" link,
 then you can choose from the database versions below or choose "platform information" and choose your OS.

Hi all,

Has anyone done the upgrade from 8.1.7 32 bit to 9.2.0.3 64 bit? I'm trying to determine whether it's necessary to perform any other steps than the regular upgrade process.

Note 62290.1 seems to imply that no other steps are required, but this is contradicted elsewhere and it's proving almost impossible to get a straight answer from Oracle. There's one hilarious Forum exchange on metalink (search on 32 bit Sahoo) where the tech manages to avoid saying anything other than read the documentation.

So, any advice, experience, or pointers to other articles out there?

Thanks,
Jay Miller
