We are currently planning to upgrade an 8.1.5 OPS instance to 9i. We had rejected the idea of upgrading to the first release of 9i -- implementing a standing rule not to upgrade to Release1 of any new version. Therefore, we had always planned to wait for 9iRelease2. Within two weeks of the 9iRelease2 release-date, the desupport date for Release1 was set as 30-June-2003 while Release2 was specified as 30-September-2005. We have positioned an 8hour downtime for the OPS to RAC upgrade but will be allowed only 2hours. If we start testing 9iRAC now and do the production upgrade in September/October, do you think we would be allowed a second downtime before end-June-03 ? We must go for 9iRelease2 --- only one downtime in two-and-a-half-years will be allowed.
