database migration

[clutch_72]

I am moving a 9.1B database running on solaris, to a server running RedHat and progress 10.1c. Can I follow these instructions:

backup the database V9
Truncate bi (still v9)
proutil path/to/database/dbname -C conv910 (R10)

or do I need to do a dump and load seeing I am changing platforms?
Thanks

Sun solars is big Endian, Linux is probably run on an intel server, so that is little endian, ergo (binary) dump/load is required.

Although it might be a good habbit to always dump load when a platform change is inlvolved.....

Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned the v9 db is running on Solaris for Intel. But I'm sure a dump/load is the safest way to go.
Thanks again...

just for S&G I went ahead and tried the upgrade from 9.1b to 10.1c going from Solaris/Intel to RedHat and it worked great.
Thanks
