RE: Upgrade 8.1.7 to 9.2 and AIX 4.3.3 to AIX 5.3

John,

Refer to DOC ID: 231901.1

Steps:

1. OS from 4.3.3 to AIX 5L (important: you must run kernel in 32-bit mode or install Patch 2896876)
2. Oracle 8.1.7 to 9.2.0 ( NOTE: The 64-bit ABI in AIX 4.3.3 is not supported under AIX 5L. Moving existing 64-bit applications from AIX 4.3.x to AIX 5L requires recompiling the application source code, and possibly changing application source code to ensure that data types are used correctly and consistently.

       Due to this restriction, starting from 9.2.0 version, Oracle ships different CDs

       for AIX 433 and AIX 5L. Customers should be careful not to use the wrong CDs,

       since these two releases are not compatible. This is also the reason why the

       64-bit versions 9.0.1 and 8.1.7/64 do not run on AIX 5L.

       For AIX 5L      -  CD part numbers are A99331-01 to A99334-01
       For AIX 4.3.3   -  CD part numbers are A99342-01 to A99345-01 

Good luck.
