How to 'move' databases from one server to another

Hi there
Here is a brief description of my assignment.
We have two Redhat Linux 4 64-bit server where two Oracle 10.2.0.4 64-bit database are running (one on each server).
<li>DB on server1 is using Filesystem for storage.
<li>DB on 2nd server is using ASM.
<li>Size of both is between 75-80GB.
<li>I have to move both the databases to new servers (same platform) with minimum downtime.
<li>There is no upgrade required during this move/migration. Both DBs have to be brought over as-is.
<li>The new servers may be on VMWare - I am not sure it at the moment. But please let me know if that will make any difference.
I would highly appreciate if someone could please provide me with some high-level guidelines to perform this move.
Best regards

Hi Srini
Thank you so much for sharing the valuable URLs.
I am reading through "Cloning An Existing Oracle10g Release 2 (10.2.0.x) RDBMS Installation Using OUI [ID 559304.1]" and I have few questions.
<li> This MOS says:
NOTE: This note should only be used for cloning single-instance (non-RAC) homes. It should not be used for cloning RAC, CRS or ASM homes.If that is the case, how should I clone ASM-Home?
One of the environments that I have to migrate to a new server has ASM installed as well. And couple of oracle databases (10.2.0.5) on that server are using ASM for storage.
<li>If were to do a fresh installation of 10gR2 RDBMS and ASM homes (on Redhat Linux 64-bit), I guess I need to contact Oracle Support (open an SR) to access the software, right?
<li>How to check from existing installation which patches I need to download and apply to this fresh installation in order to make it same as the existing installation? "opatch lsinventory" gives me a long list of number/fixes - I don't know which patch(es) to download.
Please advise!
Best regards

How to move folders from one server to another serve using unix command

Hi All,
How to move the folders from one server to another server using unix command.
scp -r armops@sjarmprd01:/ARM/scripts [email protected]:/ARM/scripts/
but it is giving an error like not a regular file .. what it means .. please let me know if any one knows about it
Thanks
Sreedhar

not a regular file .. what it meansProbably you have some fifo (named pipe) files...
Said that this has nothing to do with database (you should post on some nix forum, for example http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=135), you may try rsync* command (man rsync).

How Can I Copy an database from one server to another ?

Hi All,
I need to copy an existing database from one server to another server. I want to maintain all the settings from the source database.
I´m not used to Oracle database and i´d be glad for any help.
How can I do this ? Do I need to backup and restore in the other server ? Do I need to copy files from one server to another ?
Any help will be really appreciated.
Carlos.

I think a simpler approach, other than using RMAN, is to do a database export from the source and then import them into the target database. But you will need to do some ground work on the target, i.e, create database, tablespaces, and schemas (with their name the same as those in the source database.)

Move VM from one server to another using Local Repositories

There is the following structure:
ovhost-01 with first_repo
ovhost-02 with second_repo
Oracle VM version: 3.1.1
Both first_repo and second_repo are Local Repositories.
On ovhost-01 I have VM named "TestOVM" with status Stopped .
Task:
Move VM from ovhost-01 to ovhost-02 using "Clone or Move" section from VM Manager ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27300_01/E27309/html/vmusg-vm-manage.html#vmusg-vm-move )
Whenever I try VM moving virtual disk stays on the first_repo.
With shared NFS-storage this feature working well.
Question:
Is it possible to move VM from one server to another with Local Repositories ?

Neither ovhost-01 nor ovhost-02 have access to each other. It move or copy... the admin server that is connected to the local repository would have to have access to the target repository.

ORACLE: ORACLE 10gR1
FILE SYSTEM : OCFS

All servers details are above .please let me know if you require any other details
please reply soon we have to do it on urgent basis

Since all your databases are small (< 50G), I would recommend using expdp/impdp - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17222/expimp.htm - as this will provide several advantages as listed in the document.

just call the following proc in your add & add all buttons. Reverse the code for REMOVEs
this proc will move one item at a time from list_item1 to list_item2.
PROCEDURE add_an_item
IS
v_list_count    NUMBER;
v_item1_label VARCHAR2(60);
BEGIN
IF :list_item1 IS NOT NULL THEN v_list_count := nvl(Get_List_Element_Count('list_item1'),0);
      IF v_list_count >= 1 THEN FOR i IN 1..v_list_count
      LOOP
         IF   :list_item1    = Get_List_Element_Value('list_item1', i)
         THEN
              v_item1_label := Get_List_Element_label('list_item1', i);
              Add_List_Element('list_item2',1,v_item_label,:list_item1);
           Delete_List_Element('list_item1',i);
           Exit;
         END IF;
      END LOOP;
       END IF;
   END IF;
END;

Move the iTunes library to a shared area and then into the desired location. If this isn’t the default one, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose that library.

How move apex from one server to another

Hi All,
I am just a beginner who has just started with APEX. Its strange but even though I am just a beginner I was given a task to move the current whole apex system from one server to another.
Can any one help what the steps do I need to follow to do this?
I also need to setup backup server to this new server so that in case this new server goes down, the backup one can be made productional.
I think I should move apex first then move the whole database. Is there any tool or some thing which can do it for me?
Thanks

Hi,
what you are being asked to do would be a complex task for an experienced DBA, which, judging by the way you have asked the questions, you are not, no offence intended.
As far as I can see you have three options.
1. Hire a consultant/contractor with the necessary skills to perform the tasks.
2. Gain several years experience as an Oracle DBA, including Apex, backup and recovery and disaster recovery skills.
3. Look for a new job.
Sorry to sound facetious, but it is a ridiculous task you have been given assuming the skill and knowledge level you are coming from. Assuming you have not misrepresented yourself to your employer, this is not your fault and I think you need to seriously push back on your boss if possible.

Moving CMS database from one server to another

Using the following:
Crystal Enterprise 10, installed on W2K3 Server R2 (not making any changes to this server);
CMS database, installed on W2K Server, SQL Server 2000, SP3
New database server: W2K3 Server R2, SQL Server 2005, SP2
I found what I think are the steps to moving the database from one place to another in the CE10 Administrator's guide (pages 291-300, but I want to make sure there aren't any "gotchas" when moving the database location and/or upgrading the database version. I'm primarily a DBA, so I already know about the Schema security change going from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.
In a nutshell, here's my plan:
1. Take fresh backup of the existing CMS database
2. Stop Crystal Management Server
3. Click "Specify CMS Data Source" on the toolbar.
4. ETC--following the steps in the admin guide
If anyone has done this and has run into any problems (what I'm expecting) or had it go smoothly (I would be surprised), please let me know what to expect.
Thanks!

All you really need to do is stop the crystal services.
Backup the CMS and Auditing database
Detach the CMS and Auditing database
Copy CMS and Auditing databases to new DB server
Attach the CMS and Auditing databases
Set the compatibility mode
On the servers/s that host the CMS service, modify the ODBC connections to point to the new database server
Start the CMS service, fire up the Crystal services.
One thing to note, I don't think SQL 2005 is a supported platform for CE10 - this doesn't mean it won't work and since the support lifecycle for the product is long gone it doesn't really make much difference however you may want to run some thorough testing prior to the move.

Hello,
Do you know what the difference between copying a file this way :
** Fast & simple file copy. */
public static void copy(File source, File dest) throws IOException {
FileChannel in = null, out = null;
try {
in = new FileInputStream(source).getChannel();
out = new FileOutputStream(dest).getChannel();
long size = in.size();
MappedByteBuffer buf = in.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, size);
out.write(buf);
} finally {
if (in != null) in.close();
if (out != null) out.close();
================SECOND WAY============
AND THIS WAY:
// Move file (src) to File/directory dest.
public static synchronized void move(File src, File dest) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
copy(src, dest);
src.delete();
// Copy file (src) to File/directory dest.
public static synchronized void copy(File src, File dest) throws IOException {
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest);
// Transfer bytes from in to out
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
in.close();
out.close();
And which is better? I read up on what each kind of does but still a bit unclear as to when it is good to use which.
Thanks in advance,
JavaGirl
