Kirti,
I did some home work toward our near future upgrading from aix 4.3.3 to
5.1 and 817.4-32 bit to 9i2-64 bit. (8 servers) Note:206569.1 and
Note:223521.1 on which said
-When running oracle8i 32-bit on aix 5l, the machine must be booted
with the
32-bit kernel. this restriction doesn't apply to oracle 9.2 64-bit. Is
that
mean 9i-64 bit can coexist with 8.1.7 32-bit with the 32-bit kernet on
aiz 5L? I opened a tar with oracle support, want to clear that out. I
thought 817 and 9i can not coexisted on aix 5L.
Thanks,
joan
