Oracle Database Migration Between HP 9000 and HP Integrity Platforms Under HP-UX 11i

Migration of an Oracle database in either direction between a PA-RISC-based HP 9000 server and an Intel Itanium-based HP Integrity server is a very simple process, thanks to the compatibility between HP-UX for the HP 9000 platform and HP-UX for the HP Integrity platform. This paper, which is targeted at...

Failover of Oracle Database Between HP 9000 (PA-RISC) Servers and HP Integrity (IPF) Servers Under HP-UX 11i

HP's Intel Itanium-based Integrity architecture was designed to employ the same data format as PA-RISC-based HP 9000 architecture, which gives rise to all manner of cross-architectural scenarios such as simple database migration from the HP 9000 to HP Integrity or the reverse, and failover (Disaster-Recovery) configurations where HP 9000 systems...
