Database Forum / DB2 Topics / October 2004Move from Solaris to AIX
All, We are going to be moving from Solaris to AIX and we were informed today that with Veritas Volume Manager and Filesystem 4.0 we can import a Solaris filesystem into AIX. We know that we can take a database backup on Solaris and restore it on AIX. But can we also just move the datafiles (using above mentioned method) and bring up the database? I know that the binaries etc.. will have to be replaced with the AIX ones. Thanks. > All, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks. You shouldn't just move the files, even on an AIX to AIX move. Do the backup and restore. Hey Mark, We were not thinking of "moving" the files but rather moving whole filesystems (everything is located on the SAN). > > All, > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > You shouldn't just move the files, even on an AIX to AIX move.

In fact, a backup and a redirected restore is pretty much the only supported way to migrate a database from Solaris to AIX. > Hey Mark, > > We were not thinking of "moving" the files but rather moving whole > filesystems (everything is located on the SAN). Yes, I understood what you want to do. But I don't think it will work.
