To anyone haven't heard about this news from Oracle. Oracle has an update about what will be supported and not supported on Itanium processor. For my case, we actually just upgraded RAC running on HP UX Itanium from 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.1. It is quiet a "big" news for us since most of the Databases are running on HP UX Itanium. See below notes :
For more details please check this article on Oracle support site : 1307745.1
"Oracle Database 11g Release 2 is currently shipping on HP-UX Itanium, latest available patchset level is 11.2.0.2. We will continue to ship further 11g release 2 patchsets, PSUs and CPUs on HP-UX Itanium, just as we do on other platforms. The next release of Oracle Database, currently called 12g, will not be shipped on HP-UX Itanium. Customers can either stay on an Oracle Database 11g Release, as per Oracle's Lifetime Support Policy, or move to another platform when they want to upgrade to the next major Oracle release.
Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (including all the 11.2 patchsets)will continue to be supported on HP-UX 11.31. Oracle will certify Database 11.2 on future versions of the HP-UX operating system that are generally available within the Extended Support period for 11g Release 2 as documented in the Oracle Lifetime Support Policy. Oracle does not require explicit certification on future versions of the Itanium processor provided HP supports the versions of the HP-UX operating system that Oracle Database 11g Release 2 is certified on.
