Importing a .dmp file.

Question

Hello!
I performed the following on a database I wanted a copy of its SID was orcl:
exp SYSTEM/orclspassword FULL=y FILE=dba.dmp LOG=dba.log CONSISTENT=y
Now I am home and and I have my own DB11G (separate) instance up.
How can I import this orcl I took and run it alongside of my DB11G?
I tried the following which was clearly wrong:
[oracle@oracle course]$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [DB11G] ? orcl
ORACLE_HOME = [home/oracle] ? /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
The Oracle base for ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1 is /u01/app/oracle
[oracle@oracle course]$ imp SYSTEM/DB11Gspassword FULL=y FIlE=db.dmp

Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
IMP-00005: all allowable logon attempts failed
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
Should I create a DB with DBCA and name it orcl and overwrite it with the imp?

^^ this is my DB11G
But you told oraenv to set your ORACLE_SID to "orcl", overriding that it was prompting you for "DB11G"
[oracle@oracle course]$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [DB11G] ? orclThe error message of
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not existwas referring to an instance named "orcl" .. as that is what you told oraenv to set the environment for.
I believe the dmp is from 11gR2 as well.
and I meant "overwrite" the data.. sorry
