Do NOT start the services at 7.5, but first install the 7.5.0.3 or .04 patch,as there is a bug at 7.5 that may affect you.

Look at SORT for NBU (link on here   https://sort.symantec.com )

and use the upgrade checklist feature and look at the 7.x upgrade portal

Hi Shakeel, Few inputs from

Hi Shakeel,

Few inputs from me 

Copy all existing RMAN scripts while upgrading database - Media / Client systems b'coz at the time of upgradation all existing RMAN scripts will be overwrite with default sample scripts in default path.

Also make sure you will apply recent patch level ... i guess 7.5.0.3 is the letest.

 

 

If this post has helped you, please vote or mark as solution.

Before break-up, make sure you have a good backup.....  ;-)
