Copying database from vxfs to ufs

Hi, I have a database (200GB+ 8.1.7.4 version) on Vxfs file systems on a Sun server ( Solaris 8), which I need to migrate to Ufs file systems mounted on same server. To cut the migration time, can I copy the database files from vxfs to ufs ie across the different filesystems type. Has anyone

Re: Copying database from vxfs to ufs

Hi! Yep, there should be no problems. It is possible to copy files to and from raw devices (with one issue of raw device header block(s)). And if you want to cut migration time, then make a full online backup to your ufs file system, then shutdown your production and do recovery of ufs database.
