- The control files has been transfered from AIX5.3 to a Linux Machine !!
This is an Oracle issue and not a CentOS issue.
Please note that, typically, Oracle binary files are not portable between hardware and OS platforms. When I used to DBA Oracle (Oracle 8; that long ago) we were told by Oracle that files were not portable (eg between HPUX and Solaris, or Solaris and Linux).
This definitely belongs to an Oracle mailing list. However, please look at possible issues between Big/Little Endian architectures. I've seen this when moving between different archs.
