Why 8.1.6.3 ? Go to 8.1.7.2 or 8.1.7.3. 8.1.6 has been desupported.
What is the OS version ? Solaris 2.5.1 ?
32-bit 8.1.7 is certified on 2.6 and above.
64-bit 8.1.7 is on Solaris 8 (2.8) of course.
That you have a Cluster -- is it OPS or single-instance database which
fails
over to the second node ?
If you use the MIGrate utility, you should have very low downtime.
1. Install 8.1.7 + Patchset 2 or 3 : 1.5 hours max. Install into a
seperate ORACLE_HOME.
2. MIG database 1 hour ?? (depends on the size of the SYSTEM Tablespace,
not the full database) -- I suggest you use the command-line MIG utility,
I've been
more comfortable with it than ODMA.
3. Configure init.ora, copy convSID.ora, ALTER DATABASE CONVERT and
catalog and catproc
in 81.7 : 1.5 hours max.
4. Recompile Invalid Objects : Depends on how many you have.
Don't waste time installing the JVM into the database -- you are not
currently using it.
You'd have to practice the migrate a couple of times on another server.

Subject: Oracle Migration 7.3.4.5 to 8.1.6.3
Hi All
We are in the process of migrating our database from 7.3.4.5 to 8.1.6.3.
We are using a Sun Cluster (2 E4000 each with 4x480Mhx processors and 4gb
Ram) for our system which is almost 24x7. This whole operation must be
performed (ideally) within a maximum of 24 hour period (during say a
national holdiday). Our database is approx 100Gb large.
Any suggestions on how to do this operation? Any past experience?
TIA
mark
