Moving an Oracle database from Oracle Linux to RHEL

oratestMar 18 2019 — edited Mar 18 2019

Hi,

We plan to move our 12.1.0.2 Oracle database from Oracle Linux 7.4 (UEK) operating system to RHEL 7.6 operating system.

DB Version     - 12.1.0.2

Source OS     - Oracle Linux 7.4 (UEK)

Target OS      - RHEL 7.6

Considering both source and target platform are "Linux x86 64-bit", so I assume following simple approach should work here?

1. Installation of DB binaries at target side

2. Backup database using RMAN at source

3. Copy DB backup files from source to target

4. Restore and recover database at target

5. Bring up DB at target

Does anyone have similar experience or notice any issue in above mentioned approach?

Thanks in advance.
