Last updated on SEPTEMBER 29, 2021
Applies to:
Oracle Database Cloud Schema Service - Version N/A and later Oracle Database Exadata Express Cloud Service - Version N/A and later Gen 1 Exadata Cloud at Customer (Oracle Exadata Database Cloud Machine) - Version N/A and later Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - Database Service - Version N/A and later Oracle Database Backup Service - Version N/A and later Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit) Linux x86-64
Goal
Database migration to Exadata can be accomplished in a number of ways, as discussed in Oracle® Database High Availability Best Practices 11g Release 2 (11.2) Chapter 14 Reducing Downtime for Planned Maintenance Section 14.2.7 Database Platform or Location Migration.
One way to perform this task is the Transportable Tablespaces for Platform Migration. The method described in this document can be used to migrate any database (version 10.2 to 11.2.0.4), from any platform, to 11.2.0.4 and later on Exadata. We have successfully performed the migration from Solaris SPARC (database versions 10.2.0.1, 10.2.0.4 and 11.2.0.3), IBM AIX (database version 11.1.0.7) and Linux (database version 11.2.0.3) to 11.2.0.4 and 12.1.0.1.0 on Exadata.
