  • Cold backup vs cold cloning

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

    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.

  • Configure OEM after cold cloning

    Dear All
    After performing cold cloning ,I am trying to configure OEM which shows me error message in logfile,
    CONFIG: ORA-20001: SYSMAN already exists..
    Do I need to drop DBSNMP and SYSMAN schema and create repos from the beginning, if yes then is there any effect on database if I drop schemas.
    kindly post steps about configuring OEM after cold cloning .
    Database Version : 11.2.0.1
    Thanks.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "cold cloning." What version of EM are you using, and what is it you want to do?

  • 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.

  • After cold cloning a pvm guest no vms will start

    I cloned a powered down paravvirtualized oracle linux guest. I did an advanced clone and used a clone definition that specified non-sparse disk creation.
    I started the clone successfully and then tried to start the original guest up again but guest will not start. Restarted clone, and now clone also will not start. The guests remain locked, and the job must be aborted.
    Restarted ovmm service, but problem persists.

  • COLD BACKUP DATABASE CLONING with +ASM

    Hi,
    I need some help to clone the database using Cold backup with +ASM. Can somebody help me on this
    Here is the steps we did on Source Database.
    1. Copied all the $ORACLE_HOME from Source to TARGET.
    2. Created pfile from spfile.
    3. Created backup control file on the Source.
    Questions:
    =======
    1. Source has 3 diskgroups, do we need to create new 3 disk groups on the TARGET ?
    2. If we needed 3 new disk groups on TARGET, how can we move all the data from SOURCE diskgroup to TARGET disk group, Do we need to use RMAN?
    Please let me know what else need to do to bring up the TARGET database.
    Thanks
    Dheeru.

    Hi,
    1. Source has 3 diskgroups, do we need to create new 3 disk groups on the TARGET ?Not necessarily.
    2. If we needed 3 new disk groups on TARGET, how can we move all the data from SOURCE diskgroup to TARGET disk group, Do we need to use RMAN? Yes, use RMAN to clone/duplicate the database.

  • Database cloning using cold backup

    Hello Guys,
    I am doing cloning of a database from cold backup for testing, actully one datafile has been croupted, so my issue is that, can i exclude tht datafile from controlfile when creating the controlfile and is that poosible that controlfile will created sucessfully and database will open sucessfully.
    Please reply.
    Thanks

    @asif, @ckpt
    With humble, how all you know that corrupted datafile is not belonging to system and undo tablespace? If this case, then do you think we can restore that corrupted cold-backup ? Sorry, but this is not the way to just start providing help without asking OP :
    1.Current Oracle Version ?
    2.Where he want to restore i.e. restoring platform info Oracle version OS ?
    3.After cold backup how he came to know that one datafile is corrupted ?
    4.When and how datafile became corrupted ?
    5.How he taken cold backup ? Was db running fine just before shut immediate for cold backing ?
    6.What he has done so far to restore the cold backup ?
    7.What error he is getting right now ?
    Here problem is corrupted datafile. So, first let come problem clear from OP, ask all missing question in one go, and then start helping is the right way... (my personal opinion, may be wrong!).

  • Database Cloning (Cold Backup) Doubt

    Hi,
    Operating System : Sun Solaris
    Production Database Version : 11.1.0.6.2
    UAT Server Database Version : 11.1.0.7.0
    We have taken the production backup and restored in UAT server. We found that there is a conflict in version.
    Is there any solution to bring the UAT up with the production cold backup.
    Please give some manual steps to bring the UAT (11.1.7) with Production backup (11.1.6)
    I have attached the output for your verification we got so much of error. Please suggest some steps.
    We are doing the cloning manually. We need to bring the UAT database up asap.
    Kindly reply me.
    Thanks all.
    Regards

    Hi Forstmann,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Can you tell me whether the follwing steps will bring up the database.
    1. Bring up the Production database up in UAT server
    sqlplus "/as sysdba"
    startup mount
    alter database rename file (For datafile and redolog) to change from production location to UAT.(Using this method if any recovery needed done by smon)
    shutdown immediate.
    sqlplus "/as sysdba"
    startup upgrade
    SQL> spool upgrade.log
    SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/catupgrd.sql
    then run the catalog and catproc script.
    OPen the database.
    take the trace file.
    shutdown immediate.
    2. Open the UAT database.
    sqlplus "/as sysdba"
    startup nomount
    run the control reuse script
    open the database.
    Whether this steps will help. Please suggest me.

  • How to reduce the cloning time if using cold backup?

    Hi,
    We are using EBS r12 (12.0.6) with database 10.2.0.3 in Linux Redhat 4 32-bit envoirnment.
    Our datbase size is around 480 GB and we are facing the issues to provide the clone to my consultants for meet the target timelines in given time.
    (Source:)---- Production Dell R900 Server machine having 32-GB RAM and 8 Quard Core CPU's.
    (Target:)---- Clone Dell 2950 Server machine having 16-GB RAM and 4-Quard Core CPU's.
    Currectly we are taking cold backup like:
    1: Auto shutdown EBS r12 database nighthy at 12:00 AM daily and compress the backup using tar utility in linux. This process takes 6:00 hours aprox:
    2: After that we move compressed file to clone machine and then uncompressed it, and this process takes 5:00 hours aprox.
    3: And performe standard cloning steps.
    Questions:
    1: How to reduce time of this backup process?
    3: Is there any other way to reduce the cloning process.
    2: What type of backup oracle recommended to their customers for this type of process?
    Thanks.

    1: How to reduce time of this backup process?Without using third party tools, it might be hard to tune the timing of compressing/uncompressing the file.
    Have you tried to use scp command? This would help if your network throughput is acceptable.
    3: Is there any other way to reduce the cloning process.Since the main issue you have with the copy, then you might copy the files remotely from the source to the target, or using any other storage/backup tools (like file system snapshot).
    2: What type of backup oracle recommended to their customers for this type of process?Oracle does not recommend any type of backup as the tools used are not Oracle products.
    Thanks,
    Hussein

  • Hot Backup cloning vs Cold Backup CLoning

    Hi,
    when we do cold backu cloning...we get same data as production database..
    when we do hot backup cloning..i think we will loose current transactions which are recorded in redo log and not archived ....am i right?????
    when we do hot backup cloning....all the database files headers are freezed..means...all latest changes are not copied while we copying datafiles to test machine...but those changes are logged in archived log files...we will get these changes in archived log files...
    am i right?????
    please correct me if i am wrong.....

    When all is said and done there is really no difference in the clone database made from a cold backup or a hot backup as both are point in time recoveries.
    In the case of the cold backup the source database was made unavailable to users while the backup was taken. If you have that luxary then that is fine, but many sites would need or want to keep the source available while the backup runs.
    The backup type should not be an issue unless you really need to capture the source database with the data in a specific known state where no changes were taking place.
