SAP distributed installation on 2 versions of Red Hat Linux

Hi,

Current landscape consist of SAP ECC with CI and SCS running on one host (Application server) and DB (Oracle 10.2.0.4) on another host (DB Server). Both host has the same OS versions - RHEL 5.4.

We are migrating our DB host to a new host and planning to have an UPGRADED OS version of RHEL 6.2 for this new DB host.

Would there be any issues in having 2 different versions of RHEL for the application server and database servers ? Also, what would be tht best practice in the scenario mentioned above ?

Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks

LM

According to PAM . RHEL 6 only supports Oracle 11.2, check this link

So you will have to do an export/import using R3load method and in the process move to Oracle 11.2 on RHEL 6.2 .

You can have different OS versions on a distributed environment as long as the applications running on them are supported and compatible. But its always best to have the same OS version.

For the central instance and SCS instance, you can keep them running on RHEL4 and update the kernel to NW 720 (not 720_EXT) . Also ensure the oracle client is updated to 11.2.0.2
