Julie, We are also going through same exercise now a days as we are moving to new HP hardware with HP-UX 11 64 bits with Hitachi Storage. These machines do not run on 32 bit Unix. However we are still using 32 bit Oracle and Oracle Financials 10.7 char software.
In our situation we have to change blocksize from 4k to 16k , we created 8.1.7.2 database with locally managed tablespaces and imported our 8.1.6.2 database there. So far so good in testing. These new box (3 of them)will go in production in 3/4 weeks time and then we will upgrade to 8.1.7.3(except Oracle Financials)once we feel comfortable. We are HP shop. Regards Rafiq Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2002 11:59:26 -0800 Rafiq, I upgraded an HP-UX 11.0 64-bit machine in early April. (8.1.6.3.0 to 8.1.7.3.0) It was the worst upgrade I've ever gone through, but everthing appears to be running normally. (I'm not using locally managed tablespaces yet though.) I was missing a couple of operating system patches and the machine isn't the quickest in the world (and I have 3 databases on that machine). I plan on upgrading another HP-UX 11.0 64-bit machine to 8.1.7.3.0 by the end of the month. I'm a little nervous about 8.1.7.3.0 on Solaris 7, so I'm going to do some reading before taking the databases to either 8.1.7.2.0 or 8.1.7.3.0.

I saw couple of messages today about problems with 8.1.7.3 on Solaris. We are also thinking to move to 8.1.7.3 on HP-UX 11 in near future but now we have to wait and see for a while.
