MAJOR UPGRADE STEPS

1) Install 10g binaries on AIX database node  and upgrade from 9i rdbms to 10g rdbms on AIX

2) Install 10g binaries on LINUX database node and migrate database from AIX 10g to Linux 10g by Transportable Tablespaces

3) Upgrade 11i (11.5.9) to R12.1.1

4) Upgrade database from 10g to 11g

5) Upgrade the application from 12.1.1 to 12.1.3

6) Add second database node to make 2-node RAC DB
