11.5.10.2 cloning on windows

Hi all,
I have been set the task of cloning an existing 11.5.10.2 installation on Windows 2000 to a brand new server (ie. No oracle installation on it).
I have previously done this on Linux/Solaris with no issues - just copying the db binaries across and setting up the users/evironment manually.
How would the environment be set up in Windows so as I can clone (I am familiar with the clone so no need to go into details on this area)
Will this require a fresh install of 11.5.10 on the new server to get the registery set-up or is there some way of copying this from the source environment?
Any help would be welcome.
Many Thanks
Simon

Hi Simon;
I Have looked throught these notes but I still cant see a definitive answer to whether the new Windows server will require a fresh 11.5.10 install before I can clone my existing system?No its not. If You follow below note you will see it doesnt mention something like you ask
Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i with Rapid Clone [ID 230672.1]
Your steps should be like:
1. Section 1: Prerequisites apply related patch your source (Dont forget Check Appendix A: Install JRE 1.3.1 into RDBMS ORACLE_HOME)
2. Section 2: Run preclone on source
3. Copy file from source to target
4. run postclone
5.restart machine
if not how is the registery values and services created?Rapidclone handle it

Oracle Software Cloning in Windows environment.

I am trying to see if there is an option for cloning the database software (not the database) on to a new windows server, just like the one we can use on Linux/AIX servers and deploy OUI to configure oracle home and other stuff..

Pl post details of OS and database versions. I do not have an y personal experience with cloning on Windows, but have you checked MOS Doc 300062.1 (How To Clone An Existing RDBMS Installation Using OUI) /

Cloning from Windows NT to Windows 2003

I wish to upgrade the OS of our PROD and TEST Servers from Windows NT Server to a fresh install of Windows 2003 Server.
I have managed to complete this on our Development System by performing a clean install of Windows 2003 Server and then cloning our existing TEST Server. This seems to have worked.
Is this a valid and recognised method for upgrading binary compatible Operating Systems?

You will need to export your input level data, and recreate the cubes on the target system. You will NOT be able to copy the page and index files over to migrate your data. Here are some other things to consider:- Your application/database settings- Your security information (filters, groups, and users)- All your calc scripts, reports, etc...- Linked objectsBe sure to give yourself plenty of time with access to the old server before it gets wiped, with parrallel testing if possible.Good Luck,

Database cloning on windows environment

Hi all,
I have a production database on Windows environment, now management want to clone the database to another windows server and use it as production database. it is a small database and it is in archivelog mode. what are the easy ways to clone the database from one server to another. pls. suggest me links to clone the database.
db: oracle 10g R2 (10.2.0.1.0)

Hi Kamran,
the reason for cloning the database to other server is virtualization of the production server. the database is temporarily placed in second server. so that no down time for the users.
thanksTo cloning suggestion way is using RMAN.Also you can use User Managed backup and Recovery option.You can perform below steps(your database actually running in archivelog mode and you can take user managed HOT backup)
1). Identify all datafiles from v$datafile.name column.
2) Connect SYS AS SYSDBA and execute ALTER DATABASE BEGIN BACKUP
3) Using OS copy command copy/transfer all data files to other place/server
4) And from sqlplus ALTER DATABASE END BACKUP.
5) ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE AS 'LoCATION' (like 'c:\cont.txt');
Then restore all datafiles(and archivelogs also) to new server and STARTUP NOMOUNT then execute above controlfile recreate script(c:\cont.txt) and execute through sqlplus RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL then apply all available archivelogs then finally ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS.

Need Help Cloning Old Windows XP to Mac with VMWare Fusion

Hello I'm new to the forums and I have been searching all over for a good answer on how to do this.
I have a ton of applications, docs, etc. on my old windows xp machine that I need and I am looking for a way to clone the drive it to my mac that is using VMWare Fusion. I have an external hard drive and have tried acronis true image but apparently that doesnt work. So I am looking for a good step by step process on how to do this.
Also later I want to clone the same windows xp drive to another mac that is using boot camp. will that be the same?
Thanks

The easiest way would be to put the PC hard drive into an external enclosure and use Disk Utility or a similar tool to create a disk image file that you can copy to the Mac. You may be able to read the PC disk image format and get VMWare to read the resulting image.
Even if you make it that far, I don't think you will be able to get Windows to use it as a boot drive. You will have much more success just creating a new disk image and reinstalling everything with the correct drivers. Then just copy your documents back over using more traditional methods.

System Image Restore in Window 8.1

I have not been able to find a data migration application that works at cloning a Windows 8.1 hard drive to a new SSD. With that in mind I want to go about moving the contents, data and operating system from my working C: to a new SSD. I want
to go about it as if I have backed up my system, my C: drive has failed so I need to install a new drive and restore my data and operating system to the new drive. I can't seem to find any simple (this should be simple) straight forward way to do this
nor can I find any form of written instruction on how to go about this.
I would love to have someone articulate this. As it stands I have a fully operational intact C drive. I have completed a disk image to a second separate hard drive. I now want to restore that content to a third (SSD ) drive.
Where do I begin?

There is a system backup tool called System Image Backup, follow these steps to conduct this:
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search.)
Enter File History in the search box, tap or click File History, and then click System Image Backup at the left part.
See the screenshot as below, you can backup it on local machine or a DVD or a network share folder:
Besides, I need to point out that this backup method will generate a vhd file, if you want to restore the system you need an DVD installation midia.
You cannot just restore a vhd file directly to the hard drive.

Upgrading MacBook Pro Hard Drive - cannot get Windows partition to work

Hello,
The other day, I decided to replace my 320 GB hard drive with a 1 TB hard drive/SSD hybrid. I did a little bit of research about cloning the drive before that, and it seemed pretty straight forward to clone the OS X partition, but I wasn't really sure about cloning my Windows partition. Originally, my 320 GB hard drive had 2 partitions: 220 GB for OS X Mavericks, and 100 GB for Windows 8.1.
I bought the new drive with an external enclosure and plugged it in. The first thing I did was open Disk Utility and partitioned the new hard drive (750 GB HFS+, 250 GB NTFS). I figured I would need to partition it first and clone each partition separately. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the OS X partition, and it worked with no problem (I immediately could restart my computer and boot with the partition on the new drive, while it was still plugged in by USB).
Next, I tried using CCC to clone the Windows partition the same way (I realize now that CCC cannot do this). 7 hours later, the cloning was complete, but there was an error that a couple files couldn't be copied. I tried copying them manually but it didn't work. I wasn't sure if the Windows partition would work, so to find out, I switched the hard drives and put the old 320 GB one in the external enclosure. I booted my computer and it booted the new OS X partition with no problem. It also mounted the Windows partition that I cloned with CCC, and I can access all of the files in it. However, when I restarted and held down "option", it would not let me boot the Windows partition.
After some googling, I realized CCC is not able to clone a bootcamp partition and make it bootable, so I opened disk utility and deleted the Windows partition (using the minus button), then recreated it (using the plus button). I downloaded Winclone (paid $30), which supposedly can clone a bootcamp partition. I opened Winclone and it seemed pretty simple: you just choose the source partition on the left, and the target on the right. I plugged in the USB enclosure with my old hard drive, and in the Winclone menu the original Windows partition popped up. I chose that as my source, and chose to copy it to the new NTFS partition on the new drive that I created. I left it on overnight, and when I woke up it said it was completed.
I now had two drives mounted: my NTFS partition that I created, and a new one that said "EFI". I have no idea what EFI is. My NTFS partition looks like it has all of the files from my original Windows partition on it; however, when I restart it does not allow me to boot with it, although I now have the option to boot EFI. When I select EFI, I am given the Windows 8.1 start up screen (with the blue Windows logo), but then an error message pops up saying something like there is an issue and it needs to restart (it restarted before I could read the whole thing).
When I boot in OS X, I only have the NTFS partition (with all my Windows files) mounted, and no EFI. When I restart, I can still boot EFI, but I always get the same message and then it restarts.
Is there any way I can fix my Windows partition so that it works the same way it did on my old drive? What is EFI? Should I delete it? How can I make the NTFS partition, which seems to have all of my files, bootable? I only want 2 partitions: one for OS X, and one for Windows. Also, can I do all of this without having to reinstall either of the operating systems?
Thanks

Hmm, that's a good question!
I headed over to the twocanoes website (the folks that make Winclone) and their guide mentions something about running Sysprep before you create the Windows image. If you skipped that step, that may be why you're having issues
http://www.twocanoes.com/support/winclone/migrating-a-bootcamp-partition-with-wi nclone/
Step 24 in that guide also mentions copying a Boot file - were you able to/did you do that?
You may have better luck over in the Bootcamp forum, which is here.

Microsoft Windows (7) boot from (native) VHD : Question about missing boot (flag) on active primary partition

Hi!
First, where can I post queries about native VHDs on Windows 7?
I see VHD Native Boot and Driver Cloning in Windows Desktop Development forums > General
Windows Desktop Development Issues,
(when I navigate there the option's N/A, http://i.imgur.com/9Vj7tPJ.png )
I've finally copied my VHD(s), and tested the copies by adding BCD(edit) entries, pointing to the new VHD's.
I had a failure with a native VHD. I managed to copy the VHD file from the (internal) HD, before cleaning the HD and restarting from scratch (new vdisk created and attached, win7 reinstalled).
The original VHD ('Win7VHD') is still working, but won't boot (see mounted Disk 3 (I:), compared to the active,
bootable partition (C:).
http://i.imgur.com/KXU0QWi.png
Before creating a fresh install on the new, clean "VHD (Win7)" volume, I tried lots of things to fix the "won't boot" issue with the VHD (rebuild MFT, fixBR... without ever knowing exactly what I was doing :()
So I've created a BCD entry for the recovered VHD... now, can I make it bootable again?
(I don't know what the root of the bootable VHD has to contain)

How to change startup disk for a 2012 Mac mini with dual HDD and clean installed with Windows 8.1?

Hi,
I have a Mac-mini (late 2012 model), originally with Mac OS X Maverick Server installed (with two HDD). Recently, I had clean installed Windows 8.1 on one of the HDD (worked perfectly, just slow) and swapped the other HDD (with Mac OSX) with a SSD. I then cloned the Windows OS HDD in to the new SSD. Now I am trying to boot this Mac mini from this SSD, however, since this Mac mini do not have BIOS for me to change the boot sequence at the startup, is there any one can help?
Thank you,
Liusc

Unable to Login to Idle Instance from SQL*Plus in windows

Hello,
I'm cloning the db from windows to windows enviornment. At auxilary instance after configuring the Listener and making Password file to right folder when I try to connect to Idle Instance through sql*plus by follwring connad
c:\sqlplus sys/password as sysdba
It gives me ORA-12518 Tns: Listener could not hand off client conenction error
Then I put the follwing parameter in listener.ora DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_LISTENER=OFF and restart listener and then try to connect it gives me Ora-12560: TNS protocol adapter error.
I try to connect through tnsnames but give me same error.
Kindly tell me how to resolve this issue as its not allowing me to connect to an idle instance so that I can go further.
I'm using 10gR2 on windows server 2003.

follow the steps to clone database:
# 1. Backup the source database.
To use RMAN duplicate an RMAN backup of the source database is required. If there is already one available, skip to step 2. If not, here is a quick example of how to produce an RMAN backup. This example assumes that there is no recovery catalog available:
rman target sys@<source database> nocatalog
RMAN>backup database plus archivelog ;
RMAN> backup archivelog all;
This will backup the database and archive logs.
# 2. Produce a pfile for the new database
This step assumes that the source database is using a spfile. If that is not the case, simply make a copy the existing pfile.
Connect to the source database as sysdba and run the following:
create pfile='init<new database sid>.ora' from spfile;
This will create a new pfile in the $ORACLE_HOME/database directory.
The new pfile will need to be edited immediately. If the cloned database is to have a different name to the source, this will need to be changed, as will any paths. Review the contents of the file and make alterations as necessary.
Because in this example the cloned database will reside on the same machine as the source, Oracle must be told how convert the filenames during the RMAN duplicate operation. This is achieved by adding the following lines to the newly created pfile:
db_file_name_convert=(<source_db_path>,<target_db_path>)
log_file_name_convert=(<source_db_path>,<target_db_path>)
# 3. Create bdump, udump & cdump directories
Create bdump, udump & cdump directories as specified in the pfile
# 4. Create a service
c:/>oradim –new –sid <clonedatabasename> –intpwd <pwd>
eg:
c:>oradim –new –sid clonedb –intpwd oracle
# 6. Duplicate the database
From sqlplus, start the instance up in nomount mode:
startup nomount
Exit sqlplus, start RMAN and duplicate the database. As in step 1, it is assumed that no recovery catalog is available. If one is available, simply amend the RMAN command to include it.
rman target sys@<source_database> nocatalog auxiliary /
duplicate target database to <clone database name>;
thats it
For RMAN Cloning refer:
follow the documentation replace the destinations/locations with your location/folder/destination in source and target database.

Windows 10 Technical Preview Enterprise Build 9879 Product Key

Hi
Does the Windows 10 Technical Preview Enterprise 9879 uses the same product key as build 9841???

I would have been totally satisfied if the final release was B9860.
I have installed the TP on all my pc's. I have 3 desktops and a laptop that I did clean installs for on spare hard drives.
I also cloned the Windows 8.1 systems from each of them - and upgraded to Win 10 TP to see how it would handle the variety of applications I have on each.
One minor issue was that a diagnostic application I prefer to use - lost some of it's capability to display certain components like CPU specs.
The audio had been working exceptionally well up to B9860. Then I had one major issue on one of the desktops - when the audio stopped working right. Microphone audio was passed to the speaker output correctly - but NO audio
was passed from Windows Media Player or Winamp. But it did pass audio thru to the speakers from a music editing application which I use.
Even more strange was that when I moved that hard drive to another desktop which has similar motherboard - the audio works perfectly. Both have VIA audio devices.
I also installed Win10 TP Enterprise on a hard drive and had the same results as above when booted up on those two desktop pc's. Whatever evidence I could extract has been passed back to Microsoft.
On checking I find the Win10 TP and Enterprise use the same key.
Otherwise - as you say - Windows 10 is GREAT. So I can't wait for the final release.
btw: I have done about a dozen different installs and never had to enter the install key when installing any of the Win10 systems. I have the general Win10 TP B9841 ISO burned to a DVD and each install had to be upgraded to the next build available.
The Enterprise comes as B9879 and I burned that ISO to a USB3 Flash Drive. Much better performance - and re-usable. So I will not be using DVD's in future.

Windows 7 chkdsk memory leak?

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed extremely high RAM usage when using windows 7's chkdsk. I've used chkdsk on the same USB flash drive on my XP, vista, and 7 machines, and the memory usage is as follows:
xp : 20 - 30 MB (Depending on stage)
vista : 2.5MB
7 : about 25MB per second running (e.g. after chkdsk has been running for 10 seconds it will be using 250MB, after 2 minutes it will be using 3.0GB)
I am monitoring memory usage using task manager. I actually have two machines running windows 7 7100 release candidate (x64) and the I noticed the problem on both.
The problem is easiest to duplicate if you run chkdsk on a drive other than your OS drive (so you can actually have task manager open while it runs as opposed to running after a reboot), and if you run a check that will take a long time. chkdsk /f on a large hard drive works fine, or chkdsk /r on a smaller hard drive will work as well. It doesn't seem to depend on which stage it is in - the memory usage balloons during stage 2 of a chkdsk /f on a (full) 1TB hard drive I have, and it happens during stage 4 of chkdsk /r on a half-full 32GB USB flash drive as well.
I would be interested to see if anyone else can duplicate this.

Noel, Concerning your statement:
If you are having to run CHKDSK regularly, something's wrong with your system, or with the way you do computing.
The file system does not and
should not normally become corrupted!
In my case, I run chkdsk/r quite frequently because I am an IT consultant (since 1985). I regularly take out hard drives from client systems, and attach it to an external USB or eSata box, and attach it to a known working system. Then I can run
"out of band" antivirus and chkdsk types of analysis and repair. Recently, on a 3TB drive (that ultimatly chkdsked perfectly clean), it took about 9 hours to complete the chkdsk/r. Frankly, I wouldn't have minded if the check took 24 hours, but I
(and my client) DID mind that the otherwise useful quad-core 10GB workstation, was incapacitated beyond usefulness during this period.
This 3TB disk only had about 300 data files on it, and was less than 10% full. checking at a rate of about 20k clusters/sec over esata.
If it is grabbing this memory for the allocation tables, it should release it BEFORE stage 5 (free space scanning).
It may be design... but it looks, acts, feels, tastes, smells, like an arrogant designer flaw. And it's obvious many of us have stepped in this poop.
However, i'm willing to negotiate. Make it default, but give me a flag to specify maximum memory allocation. Thank you for your consideration. rich
This thread really saddened me. It is filled with with so many opinionated people, which on any other forum would be classified as trolls and given suspensions or banned. People like Noel and Igor have only aggravated others that are suffering from this
bug.
Yes, I say bug - allow me to provide my reasoning.
1) Windows is all about multitasking. This memory consuming design goes directly against everything Microsoft has aimed to achieve over the last few decades.
That's really the only important point. Only the bootable form of the tool should consume all memory. System drives should be forced to run the bootable form, but external/USB/eSATA drives should be properly detected and be checked without causing all these
problems reported in this thread.
To expand upon that point...
2) Tools like SATA docks are extremely common now. As an IT tech I probably scan at least a half dozen drives per week. There's hundreds of thousands of other people doing the same thing... maybe millions. This is not a fringe usage scenario.
3) It's not uncommon to see one machine scanning 30 or 40 drives (rackmount, etc.) after an unexpected power failure at big companies/datacenters. Those drives run linux filesystems. Incapacitating one computer to check one drive at a time is extremely silly.
Even if it makes it twice as fast, you lose out on having zero parallelization.
Those are really the main reasons. Now, let me tell you an interesting story from yesterday.
Normally chkdsk has worked fine for me, but yesterday I encountered this bug - I received a drive that could not be cloned with Windows tools, and could not successfully be chkdsk'd (unless I fire up a Vista/XP DVD) - both chkdsk /f and chkdsk /r fail under
Win7, by consuming 99% of memory and causing everything to crash. (Backup software, background programs, then chkdsk itself locks up and stops doing anything.)
This is a fringe case for sure, but it's caused by a bug - a design defect - something that would cause me to fire a coder if they made such a silly backwards assumption.
Now for the details - *drumroll* - the drive that I'm checking is approximately 60GB large (80GB PATA drive with one main partition and one small recovery partition), and appears to have 18.2 million file records. (YEAH - fringe case) It completely incapacitates
the Win7 chkdsk, but not the Vista or WinXP chkdsk. (Which, btw, check it over far faster. I suspect the simpler less memory hungry algorithm is faster than cannibalizing as much pagefile as it can get...) chkdsk /f takes many hours to run, and chkdsk /r did
not complete overnight, but was finished by the end of today. I first got the idea to check over this drive when I heard it clacking away constantly for seconds for every single task. (Clicking a shortcut, clicking the start menu, etc.) I fired up Defraggler
and noted 100% of the squares in the graphic were yellow. Despite that 70% of the drive is empty. Something has seriously gone wrong with NTFS on the main partition.
Anyway, like I said, I'd fire the coder that made such an assumption if he refused to learn and correct it. Logic holes like this are exactly the kind of thing that create holes/exploits for viruses - although in this case it's a performance bug rather than
security bug. Regardless, it's sloppy coding that didn't plan for fringe use cases (< 1%), and thus fails completely when encountering them. Proper behaviour (IMO) would be to heavily encourage rebooting to check a drive in the GUI CheckDisk, but allowing
the cmdline chkdsk to run properly in Windows for non-system drives without devouring all available memory.
