It was Solaris 2.8 to Solaris 2.6 and I copied the Oracle binaries and datafiles for one database a small one. It does save time and relinking did seem to resolve the issue as relinking with the new version of Solaris caused Oracle to point to the correct libraries from the OS-side.

Paula - When you say you copied Oracle from one host to another, what do you
mean? Did you copy the Oracle data files or the Oracle binaries? I am not
familiar with those two Solaris versions, and you didn't say which Oracle
version this is, but you might check the certification matrix to make sure
this Oracle version will work on both systems. I'm assuming you considered
installing Oracle on the other system and decided to save time. Just a
couple of off-the-top ideas.

Guys,
To save time we thought we could simply copy Oracle from one host with
version Solaris 2.8 to another host with version 2.6. The error we are
getting is:
ld.so.1: svrmgrl: fatal: libgen.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed
and I cannot open any databases. Can I fix this by relinking? Why is this
file being called? My LD_LIBRARY_PATH looks correct and on the previous
host this file existed so it must be a Solaris 2.8 library (so says system
admin.). Do I have to reinstall Oracle software for this to work? Can I
just copy over the file or what if it was the same version of Solaris?
Thanks,
Paula
