Move from 10g to 11g database

We are currently running vSphere 4.0 U1 on Oracle 10.2.4 64-bit with Update Manager sharing the database and we are planning to migrate to an 11g 64-bit database. Is anyone aware of any documentation on this process or has anyone gone through it? I assume I should be able to just move the database over. Also the compatibility matrix for Update Manager doesn't mention support for 11g on 64-bit so I'm wondering if anyone is running it on 64 bit.

Thanks

We have moved our vCenter DB from Oracle 10 to 11. Just export-import, no issues at all.

Actually I don't know what Oracle DB version and build is running except it is 11g Smiley Happy Our DBAs just gave me tnsnames.ora and that's all.

I'm running vCenter 4.1 now with Update Manager, but I had to install 2 Oracle Clients - 64bit for vCenter and 32bit for UM and point them both to the same DB. All runs fine for about 2 months already.
