Cloning Oracle Database Machine

Hi
I have a Oracle database 11g installed on VMWare workstation. I have done clone of this database machine.
Now I want to use the database from the cloned machine. To use this I have assigned new IP address and new machine name to this machine. What all do I need to change other than setting IP address and hostname?
Thanks

Might depend upon how your VMware gets its IP address.
For VMware I would consider both a hosts file entry and a static listener. For the host if you always get the same IP consider adding it under localhost.localdomain localhost :
Example
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhostListener example :
SID_LIST_listener=
(SID_LIST=
(SID_DESC=
(GLOBAL_DBNAME=sales.us.acme.com)
(SID_NAME=sales)
(ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/10g)))Generally if I shutdown the VMware server and copy the files and then pick "Moved it" when I run it, it works with just minor changes to Net80.
For additional information see :
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2RACInstallationOnCentos4UsingVMware.php
Look for the section "Clone the Virtual Machine" The Probe for new MAC is key!

Sometimes if I have issues I add a new network card to the VM and remove the old one. This has helped "force" a new IP address sometimes.

Cloning Oracle database 8.1.7.0

Hi,
We have upgraded our database from Oracle 8.1.7.0 to Oracle 8.1.7.4 , applied terminal patch set(Oracle 8.1.7.4) , as we have to upgrade it further to 10g rel2.
After upgrading to 8.1.7.4, we required to apply the database fixes against the mentioned bugs.
One of the Serious Server Issues is mentioned below after upgradation,
Changing the Database Character Set can corrupt LOBs ( Note 118242.1)
we have gone through the note mentioned above,
In that one of the point regarding cloning is as below :
If the database version is 8.1.7.3 or 8.1.7.4:
- install non-patched Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 from the original CD-Pack
into a separate ORACLE_HOME
- take a full backup of the database
- create a clone database from this backup using the 8.1.7.0.0
version of the RDBMS software -- contact Oracle Support
if you need help; the clone should open with the older
non-patched software without any downgrade steps
- export all non-system tables with non-NULL CLOB and/or NCLOB columns
from the clone; do not forget to set NLS_LANG environment
variable to the database character set for the export session;
you can use the 8.1.7.0.0 version of the Export utility
- truncate the exported tables but in the original database
- reimport the exported tables into the original database;
do not forget to set NLS_LANG environment variable to
the database character set for the import session;
use the Import utility from the original ORACLE_HOME
- drop the clone database - do not use the clone for other
purposes as it is not supported to run a patched database
with the non-patched software.
How to Clone the Oracle database (8.1.7.0) on windows OS ?
From where i would get the Cloning steps to accomplish the above steps on Windows OS ?

Cloning Oracle database with ASM --

Hello All,
I am new to ASM.
We have recently migrated our 10g database into 11gASM. Now we want to clone the database to a different server. I am completely aware of the cloning a standalone database. But this is something new to me. Cloning a database which is in ASM is new to me. Please help me with the steps.
thank you

Nothing is there to change in the case of ASM. The normal procedure standalone database cloning applies here.
One thing you got to rememer is the DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT. Set the ASM path in both parameters as source.

Oracle Database Creation without Installing Software

Hi All guru's,
I just have a query, I have 2 Servers with OS Solaris and DB Version is 10.2.0.1.0 which is installed on one server and not on second one. Is there any possibility that i can create a database on the second server where oracle software is not installed by using the server where Oracle software is installed.
Thanks in advance

Failed to query database in oracle virtual machine

Hello I am exposing a cloud service with WCF which is connected to the oracle database in a virtual machine on my machine if Client runs perfectly, but want to use the cloud service mark me the following error:
"An ExceptionDetail, likely created by IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults=true, whose value is:
System.ArgumentException: Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.
at System.Data.EntityClient.EntityConnection.GetFactory(String providerString)."
What I understand is some connection to Oracle, but that is not, alguine can help me.
I am using Entity Framework.

Hi,
From my experience, this thread seems more related with
the Entity Framework forum, but anyway, you should use a data provider that can handle EF in Oracle. There are couple of 3rd party data providers for oracle that support entity framework - devart, datadirect, and Oracle also has a new version of the
ODP that supports EF.
You can see the list here:

How to start Oracle database in solaris Machine

I installed Oracle database in my solaris machine. Everything went fine .. I was able to install it and test the database if it's working or not.
Something happened that made me shut down and restart the solaris machine, the problem is that Oracle is not running, so I have to start it manually, and I'm not sure how to do that ... Is there a way to start Oracle automatically once the solaris machine is started ...
I'm using the SSH Secure Shell Client to configure and install everything into the solaris machine ..

Here is the work around for starting oracle instance automatically.
1) logon the system as root user.
2) under /etc/init.d/ directory, create a file name oraclestart(name the file to what you feel comfortable). eg: /etc/init.d/oraclestart.
with the following content:
#!/bin/sh
# Created by Henry Nguyen
# Date 10/11/2005
# Script to automatic start and stop oracle instances on server
ORACLE_HOME=/export/home/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0 (diffrent on your system)
if [ ! -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart || ! -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut ]; then
echo missing oracle start/stop script
exit 1
fi
case "$1" in
'start')
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart'
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start'
'stop')
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop'
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut'
esac
3) create 2 soft link as following:
ln -s /etc/init.d/oraclestart /etc/rc2.d/S99oraclestart
ln -s /etc/init.d/oraclestart /etc/rc0.d/K10oraclestart
Note the S99 and K10: that are Solaris priorities to when start and stop an oracle instance and those letter must be capitalized.
Hope this will help you

Copying or Cloning a local Oracle Database on a remote Server

Hi,
I am NOT a database administrator. A requirement came up such that I had to take up the Database Administrator role. The problem is like this...
I have an oracle 10gR2 (Development) database on a Windows 2003 Server situated locally (in India). I need to copy or clone this Oracle Database to another Windows 2003 Server located remotely (in USA).
How do I do this? Well I have done some websearch and found out various methods like RMAN DUPLICATE and so on. I don't understand RMAN - I am not an Administrator.
Please do give me the proper step-by-step functions that I need to perform to solve my problem.
Thanks in advance for your help and support.

Cloning A Database In Oracle 11g

Hi All,
I am cloning a database from one server to other server. I am using oracle 11g version:-
BANNER
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 11.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
I am new to DBA and I need your help to perform this. I have done a installation of a database but cloning I am doing for the first time. The database size which I want to clone is of 6GB, so i won't think it will take much time to clone the database.
While checking in google I come to know that the same thing can be performed by RMAN. Can anyone of you suggest me how to do this activity step by step.
If you can share any links where I can see all of the steps it will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arijit

I am new to DBA Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to tahiti.oracle.com.
Drill down to your product and version.
BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.
and I need your help to perform this. I have done a installation of a database but cloning I am doing for the first time. The database size which I want to clone is of 6GB, so i won't think it will take much time to clone the database.
While checking in google I come to know that the same thing can be performed by RMAN. Can anyone of you suggest me how to do this activity step by step.
If you can share any links where I can see all of the steps it will be helpful.
In the above library, look for "Backup and Recovery User's Guide"
Thanks in advance.

Install Oracle Application Server on the same machine with Oracle Database

Hello!
I have already have installed on my laptop the oracle Database 10g, and i want to install on the same machine Oracle Application Server; can I do that? After i look on some threads on this forum I understand that all I have to do is to change the default port 1521 of the database to antoher ..let's say 1523...how can I change the port? what files do i have to modify? Oracle Application server can work in good conditions with Oracle XE or I will have the same problem?
My SO is Windows XP Professional SP II, all updates, 512RAM, 2Ghz-CPU
Thanks!

Well, you'll have some problems to run simultaneously Database and AS with 512 Mb...
Apart from that, you don't need to start two listeners, you can use just one (the highest version) for both DBs.
If, for any reason, you want to use two, you can change the port within LISTENER.ORA file, normally in ORACLE_HOME\network\admin.
