I have to move an oracle 8i database from one server to another server (bigger, newer and has more RAM). I have to do it with minimum downtime. If you have to do it, how would you do it? Assume that the old and new servers are the same except for:
- RAM

bigger available storage space

O/S version is newer though on the new server. I would like to hear your ideas.

I know 8i is an old release but we have plan to migrate to 9iR2 after the migration to the new server.
