Hi,

Need advice..

Currently, We are running oracle 11.2.0.1 on Linux server. There are 32 DB instances on this server. As per requirement, we need to install 11.2.0.2 DB on the same server. Is it advisable to have both 11.2.0.1 and 11.2.0.2 databases on the same server with different ORACLE_HOME. How about ORACLE_BASE?? OR, do we need to upgrade all the DB's from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2. During the upgrade process, if i need to take backup with exp/imp utility, what is the best way to take 32 DB's backups instead of taking each DB backup at a time??

Thanks in advance..

32 is more than I have ever done.

>As per requirement, we need to install 11.2.0.2 DB on the same server.
please proceed to do so.

>Is it advisable to have both 11.2.0.1 and 11.2.0.2 databases on the same server with different ORACLE_HOME.
You have to do what you have to do.

>How about ORACLE_BASE??
I'd do a separate ORACLE_BASE.

>OR, do we need to upgrade all the DB's from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2. During the upgrade process,
>if i need to take backup with exp/imp utility,
most professional DBAs do not consider exp/imp to be a backup.

>what is the best way to take 32 DB's backups instead of taking each DB backup at a time??
do them in parallel & totally swamp the I/O subsystem
