Hi, I have an instance running Informix 11.50 FC8 on HP-UX 11i v1 on raw device configuration. I want to migrate to HP-UX 11iv3. Theoretically, I only need to export and import the unix volume groups, all the data should remain the same. What else I must consider ? thanks in advcance, Roger

That should be it. I would be paranoid and take a level 0 archive with no users online just before shutting down for the OS upgrade, just in case. But that's it. Art Art S.
