Patching with  cold cloning

Greeting to Everyone
I  am running two virtual  machines.
I  am going to do cold cloning from one server to another server in same host.
vmware machine 01 :  testdb (10.2.0.4.0)
vmware machine 02 :  no db is running (10.2.0.1.0) - Just i installed s/w only.
Before cloning , i am  applying patch  on  10.2.0.1.0  binary  without database (only with $ORACLE_HOME) . then i i'll start cold cloning.
>>>> Here problem  ---->  Without database and SID in vmware machine 02 , how can i stop dbconsole ?
$ emctl stop dbconsole
TZ set to Asia/Calcutta
OC4J Configuration issue. /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole_oel5.testserver_TSH1 not found.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Daid

  • Cold backup vs cold cloning

    Can anyone tell me the major difference between cold backup and cold cloning?
    Thanks

    There is no comparison of difference, since they are different thing.
    Cold Backup is a safe copy of existing database dismounted (i.e offline mode). The RMAN generated a new file which is read/write only by RMAN, also RMAN can generate a copy of database files on specific location.
    Cloud Cloning is a duplication of existing database with was backed up in offline mode. The RMAN restore database files which is read/write by a Instance.

  • Hot cloning & cold cloning

    i need hot cloning & cold cloning documents

    This is something strange to me. What do you mean by "hot cloning & cold cloning".Database cloning is part of Application cloning. When you clone Oracle Application, you need to run pre-clone and post-clone on both the application and database tiers. To clone the database, either you shut it down and copy the files (cold backup), or you can use RMAN to recreate the database (hot backup).
    What I know is, using Hot/Cold Database backup can be performed cloning of a database. How this cloning & cold cloning relates to Oracle ApplicationsAlready answered above.
    Only the possible method for Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i/12i is with Rapid Clone.For non-AutoConfig enabled systems, you cannot use Rapid Clone. Instead, you need to follow the steps in "Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i" paper/note.

    Site seems to be working fine for me.  As to plugging security holes,
    there are two things you need to do:
    1.      Keep your servers updated with the latest patch(es).  If you are
    on CF10, use the built-in automatic updater.  If on CF8 or CF9, take a
    look at David Epler's Unofficial Updater project.
    2.      Follow the appropriate ColdFusion lockdown guide for the version
    you are running.
    For CF9:

  • Will the late 2013 Mac Pro boot from an external drive (4Tb, USB 3) with a cloned Win7 x64 partition on it?

    Hello all,
    I ordered a CTO Mac Pro for heavy rendering and animating work, and I am planning on using bootcamp to install a windows partition (for 3DsMax). As I am now using a HP Elitebook 8770W that has several valuable files and projects on it, I have bought a Seagate 4Tb external Desktop Drive that uses USB 3.0 to use as a backup drive. Now, as I saw that Bootcamp Assistant only supports installing a x64 version of Windows 8, my question is:
    Will a late 2013 Mac Pro using bootcamp assistant boot from an external USB drive with a cloned partition running x64 win7? Or do I really have to buy Windows 8 and install that to my internal SSD, and then use the migration assistant to copy over my projects?
    Thanks!

    Posted? or found in new builds?
    BCA should really just pull whatever the latest drivers are when run. 
    If it is with how it partitions and sets up nMP and its partition for Windows that is another matter and makes sense.
    Some people want UEFI native booting in Windows, and my experieince with that on PCs has been that it boots faster and runs well, but has different partitions that it wants. For one thing, there is now a backup "system reserved" partition, just as Apple GUID has some volume information blocks and backup and areas that were once optional (and if format erase was not able to, it would not create one) are now mandatory.
    Windows 8.1 is req'd, reason a backup should be a big must - is it might overwrite and use another OS's  partition table entries.  Especially when doing UEFI install.
    There was something about which linux OS was safe and how they would each add entries in the table, but one would not place nice.  That one had to be done first or not at all.

  • System requirements for BO Enterprise XI 3.0 with 3 cloned webi services

    Helllo,
    I'm wondering what the system requirements would be for a server to host a BO Enterprise system (XI 3.0) if it is connected to a SAP BW system.
    The system should be able to cope with around 150 to 200 calls/requests maximum at a time.
    The users log in into SAP and launches a request via an SAP screen with behind that an URL request that is constructed based on a guest account (max 200 requests at the time) for BO. Because it is always the same account (Guest) that is used over and over again I'm wondering what kind of additional requirements the system should support.
    We did some stresstesting with 120 simultaneous users. Even with 3 cloned web intelligence processing servers it blocked several times.
    For the moment it is running on following hardware specifications:
    HRBOXI (Dell PowerEdge 2950 (Servicetag: GMZ834J))
    Memory: 8 memory slots available on motherboard of which 2 are used (each is  2GB) Total available memory at this moment is 4GB.
    CPU: 2 x Intel Xeon E5420 (quad core). There are 2 CPU sockets on the motherboard that are in use.
    Disks:  2 x 146GB (15K) SAS
    On that there is a 32bit operating system in use. We would like to start with upgrading that to 64 bit OS.
    Can someone tell me if this machine is suitable for production purposes for BO Enterprise linked to an SAP BW on mainly HR-data? I mean by that does this machine has enough processors to be able to cope with 3 cloned webintelligence services at a time. And also enough RAM memory?
    Many thanks Thierry Renaer

  • Custom Support Agreement updates/patches with SCUP

    I'm attempting to use SCUP to deploy Windows XP Service Pack 2 patches / updates that the company I support receives for paying for a CSA (Custom Support Agreement).
    Don't ask, I can't share the patches.  Sorry.
    Importing the CAB generates and "incompatible data" warning and then fails.
    Here are the relevant lines from UpdatesPublisher.log
    import : Starting Import Wizard at Thursday, September 02, 2010 11:11:17 AM

    I do have SCUP working.  I've imported / published / synchronized the Citrix partner catalog and I've created a custom patch.  All the data flows to the SCCM console and looks good.  However, I can't get this to work with the CSA patches.
    I have the EXEs and a CAB file.  CSA-WindowsXPSP2.CAB contains
    index.xml
    package.cab
    package2.cab
    index.xml only identifies the 2 embedded CAB files
    Package.cab contains package.xml which is a 200 kb and contains many details about several patches.
    Package2.cab has all kinds of nonsense in it.
    Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this?  I'm guessing I'll have to call Microsoft Support, but I figured I would try this first... and yes I've already searched high and low for anything similar.

    So here we are almost 3 years later and the same customer (I work for an IT outsourcing company) is delaying their update to SP1 for Windows 7 until later this year.  You guessed it, they purchased a Custom Support Agreement for Win7 RTM patches and
    I get to do this yet again.  It's pretty cool, but only because it is something apparently no one else gets to do.
    I went looking for the documentation from the WinXP episode, but had a hard time finding it.  This thread was the first hit in my internet search so I figure it is a good of place as any to log it.
    Summary: The native WSUSUtil.exe tool is NOT the tool to use for CSA patches.  SCUP is also NOT the tool for the job.  The special super-secret WSUS CSA Insert Tool is the only thing that can handle pumping the metadata into WSUS for Custom Support
    Agreement patches.  I was given the July 2010 release which has a file version of 3.1.7600.228.  I have no idea if there are other versions.  The documentation version is 1.0 and is a mere 5 pages.  There isn't really much to it, just a
    few parameters on a command line:
    WSUSImportTool.exe <ScanCAB> <PayloadDir> [WorkingDir] [help]
    One of the oddities is the secretiveness of this thing.  First let me say that I'm 99.999% sure I can't share the CAB or Patches with anyone without losing my job or worse (so don't ask).  It appears that only the Microsoft TAM directly associated
    with the CSA contract is allowed to know anything about it.  This customer is global and the support agreement was signed/paid for in another country.  My local TAM only referred me to the direct support TAM.  The direct support TAM would not
    actually send me any information, but would only pass it to some officially designated person.  Everything I received went through several layers of management.  I understand Microsoft not wanting the patches made public, but what's so secretive
    about the import tool?  Anyway, I hope this will help someone in the future.
    The basic process is as follows:
    run WSUSImportTool.exe to import the metadata into the WSUS database
    treat the rest of the process as a normal patch with the exception that the patch files are on the local file system, not on the internet.... thus
    synchronize SCCM with WSUS
    download the patch files from the local file system.
    finish the patch deployment like you do a normal patch
    I decided to document the whole process with screen shots on my blog @

  • How to convert/download videos embedded with cold fusion?

    Does anyone know of a free video conversion software that will convert and download online videos embedded with cold fusion ("cfmid=?") format/extension?  I tried a few online sites and they do not support that format yet.   Please help.  Thank you so much!
    Judy

    Actually COLD FUSION was a hoax a few years ago. COLDFUSION is the app.
    If you need content from a web site, talk to the developer.
    fwiw - Since ColdFusion is an Adobe app, you should try asking your question on that forum. This one is here to primarily support Shake.
    Have fun.

  • Patching with physical standby document

    There is this old document targeting 9i. Is there anything for 11g of a similar nature:
    Applying Patch Sets / Interim Patches with Physical Standby Database in Place in Oracle 9i [ID 187242.1]

    You require others to search for free on your behalf?

  • Database rolling upgrade cpu patch with minimal service outage

    Oracle 11gR2 Primary Instance
    Oracle 11gR2 Active Physical Standby
    Requirement of applying CPU and CVE patches with minimal downtime. I believe that I've been able to apply CPU patch to Active Standby after deferring redo transport and applying patch to active physical standby first and then performing a manual switchover to have the standby become the primary and former-primary become the standby and they apply CPU Patch there and then perform another role transition to its original role.
    Appreciate your experience with primary and active physical standby rolling upgrades/patches. Thanks

    Hello;
    I believe you are over thinking this. All you have to do on the Standby is install the patch. No switchover, no SQL. No nothing.
    The SQL will move from the Primary to the Standby.
    Check the readme for the patch closely or post the patch number if you want to confirm.
    OR
    How do you apply a Patchset,PSU or CPU in a Data Guard Physical Standby configuration [ID 278641.1]
    ( If it helps I had the same thoughts after my first Data Guard setup !! )
    If you are trying to avoid downtime entirely the switchover will take about as long as the patch.
    If you have RAC this is interesting :

  • SQL server with Cold Fusion?

    Hi everyone,
    I am supposed to write a website, that its database is SQL
    server and about 80,000 - 100,000 records in there.
    is it OK to go with cold fusion? OR better to go with .NET
    for faster and more reliable speed?
    I would appreciate your help.

    The app server generally doesn't care so long as it supports
    the DB driver. If the database is designed properly, the DBMS will
    be doing most of the "grunt" work.
    Any enterprise level app server can process a large database,
    so go with your strengths, and SQL server will do you just fine.
    I also wouldn't say .NET is faster ... I've seen my share of
    sites using .NET that are slow as molasses. Your server
    configuration will determine that more often than the app server,
    so long as it is an enterprise level app server ... both of which
    .NET and CF are.
    We run a SQL server for many clients and all are on CF ...
    one table alone has over 250,000 records in it. What and how you
    output will determine the speed between the 2, not how many records
    it can handle.
