Dev10g Move
Dev10g is our local Oracle database that is maintained to run two applications: Computrition and Viking. These applications can not live on our main database for various reasons, so an older 10.1 version is maintained just for them. The server upon which dev10g sits has aged, so this db must be moved. Dave has created a new ldom for this purpose, and the plan is to move dev10g as soon as possible.
After much searching and cursing, the binaries for 10.1.0.2 were located along with the patch up to 10.1.0.4. A test install was made onto the new server. The install completed, but threw a bunch of errors right at the end. There is something about the Oracle user on the new server that throws permissions errors not seen on other servers. Unfortunately, Dave, guru of everything Unix, has been out this week, so this piece is stuck for now.
Early this morning, the real dev10g was shut down and necessary copies were extracted to the new server. This will permit a test startup once the permissions issue is solved and the db can be reinstalled.
Long term plan is to successfully start up the test instance on the new server and note all the (inevitable) problems which arise. Fix those problems, keeping a log of how/what happened. Remove this test instance, then do the real move.
The webserver will need some config modification, and a restart as well.
That should do it!
