Oracle Database Discussions

Hi
I planning to move a 10g database from AIX to Iinux .... What would be the best approach??

This is what I've tried.... I've created the directory structure on the Linux box.. Move a new hot backup across including the control files, redo logs, init.ora and password file....

I then created a spfile from the pfile.

I get the following error message when I try to startup the database...

SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area 3154116608 bytes
Fixed Size 2075912 bytes
Variable Size 620757752 bytes
Database Buffers 2449473536 bytes
Redo Buffers 81809408 bytes
ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info

I've checked the pfile to make sure that the name and location is correct of the control file... all is good...
