Hello,

is anybody using aix6.1 (perhaps with EMC DMX and oracle (10g)DB ) for
longer period.
I would like to hear some experiences about stability, problems ....

I am in position to migrate DB server from p5 570 to p6 570 and I am
wondering is it better to stay on 5.3
or to go with aix 6.1 with latest TL-SP.


Thanks in advance,
Davor

Saw you were still waiting for an answer. I can't give you too much
advice on the subject, but will say that we are running AIX 5.3 for
our Oracle 9i and 10g databases. So far it is working fine on that
rev. If you decide to AIX 6.1, I would make sure to review the
Metalink website (metalink.oracle.com) and see if they have a product
matrix or any notes regarding AIX 6.1 known issues.

For example, when we first went to AIX 5.3, they advised that we
needed to install Oracle at a specific level (example for 9i it was
version 9.2.0.8) to make sure our version was compatible with the O/S,
and then we also had to add an opatch for the query optimizer.

I would imagine that if you review the metalink site for AIX 6 and
Oracle 10, they may have some info on APARs that must be installed,
and a particular Oracle 10g level to use.

Hope this helps.

Steven,

thanks for opinion.

I also have no experiences to share, but I can fill you in with a few
details of what Oracle says:

10gR2 is supported on AIX 6.1 Service Pack 1 or higher.
You need to run the 64 bit kernel.
10gR2 with HACMP is not yet certified.

You should run a specific rootpre.sh that you can download from Metalink
to avoid bug 6613550.

Read Metalink note 282036.1 which contains all the details.

Yours,
Laurenz Albe

Metalink notes are full of shit. Youz would be better off writing
your own.
