Restoring the backup on other server with different patch level

686680Apr 13 2009 — edited Apr 20 2009

Hi Gurus,

I have one HP-UX B11.31 server which holds ORACLE software with 10.2.0.4 patch level, and I have restored one database with the same patch level from HP DataProtector successfully. Now, I want to restore two node RAC database backup with Oracle Patch level of 10.2.0.2 into the Restore server which is of 10.2.0.4 patch level, the RAC database uses ASM, here are the steps which I am going to follow;

1. Create a new database with the same schema as like the RAC database in ASM.
2. Restore & Recover the RAC database backup from Data Protector.

But, I have one question, can I restore & recover the backup which is in lower grade Oracle software patch level i.e; 10.2.0.2 on a higher grade Oracle software patch level ie; 10.2.0.4 ???

Even after restoring & recovering can the database will work? PLEASE guide.

Thanks in Advance.
