Migrating Non ASM, Non RMAN to New Server with ASM and RMAN - Possible?

We currently have a database ( Oracle 10g R1 ) on a Sun Solaris server that is NOT using ASM or RMAN. The database is about 300GB. We are getting a new server and we want to install Oracle 10g R2 with ASM and RMAN and migrate the database.
I have seen the documentation on migrating non ASM to an ASM server but the methods all use RMAN. Is it possible to migrate to an ASM database without using RMAN? Would datapump import/export work if I created a new database on the new server with all the same tablespaces? Or, do I have to bite the bullet, install RMAN on the old server and do the backup?
Thanks.

If you're not using RMAN that doesn't mean you can't use it to perform a single backup, rman is contained in every oracle RDBMS installation version 10G or higher.
this is only a sample of how to do it
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '<file_system_path>/%U.DBF';
--first we allocate the channel default channel.
RMAN>RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL DEFAULTCHANNEL TYPE DISK;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP MOUNT;
BACKUP DATABASE;
SHUTDOWN
}then once you have it, you can do what you want.
It should also be possible to manually restore the database from the original datafiles but it's better to follow the solution involving RMAN.

SBS2008: Move email from Exchange 2007 to new server with Exchange 2013

We have an old server (SBS2008) and plan to buy a new server with (Server 2012). I need to move all the exchange emails, contacts & calendars to the new server. We will no longer use the old server.
Is there a document or migration tool that will help me understand how to move this data form the old exchange server to the new one?
Old Server:
SBS2008 running Exchange 2007
New Server:
Server 2012
Exchange 2013
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Dave,
It can be done, and as Larry suggested you will consider two Server 2012 installs in order to achieve an environment that looks like your current SBS roles; Exchange 2013 on an Active Directory controller isn't a good long-term solution (SBS did this for
you in the past).
For your size operation, a virtual server host, with a Windows Server 2012 license, and two virtual machines would probably be a suitable design model. In this manner, you have Server 2012 license that permits 1 +2 licenses (one host for virtualization,
up to 2 Virtual Machines on same host).
There's no migration tool. That comes with experience and usually trial and error. You earn the skills in this migration path, and for the average SBS support person you should plan on spending 3x (or more) your efforts estimate in hours planning your migration.
You can find a recommended migration path at this link to give you an idea of the steps, but its not exactly point by point going to cover you off for an sbs2008 to server 2012 w/exchange 2013 migration. But the high points are in here. If it looks
like something you would be comfortable with then you should research more.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/infratalks/archive/2012/09/07/transition-from-small-business-server-to-standard-windows-server.aspx
Specific around integrating Exchange 2013 into an Exchange 2007 environment, guidance for that can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj898582(v=exchg.150).aspx
If that looks like something beyond your comfort level, then you might consider building a new 2012 server with Exchange 2013 environment out as new, manually export your exchange 2007 mailbox contents (to PST) and then import them into the new mail server,
and migrate your workstations out of old domain into new domain. Whether this is more or less work at your workstation count is dependent upon a lot of variables.
If you have more questions about the process, update the thread and we'll try to assist.
Hopefully this info answered your original question.

Creating a new controlfile with datafiles in RMAN backup

Hi,
i am using oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) in RHEL5 server. i am trying to restore a RMAN backup from one server to another new server with new db name. i have taken out the spfile from RMAN autobackup and created pfile from it and edited the pfile with new dbname and directory structure and started the db in nomount with the new pfile. Now i have restored the controfile from the RMAN autobackup tried to put the database in mount state. But it failed due to the below error
RMAN-03002: failure of alter db command at 11/05/2012 21:44:56
ORA-01103: database name 'ORADB' in control file is not 'DEVDB'
Hence i shutdown the database and started the db in nomount with new pfile and tried to create the controlfile with the new db name,but it failed as it is looking for the datafiles.
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file
'/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DEVDB/datafile/o1_mf_system_80jq0kfw_.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
All my datafiles reside in my RMAN backup. How to get the datafiles from RMAN backup in the above scenario??
Regards,
007

Hello;
The location and filename and DBIS will be different, but you need something like this :
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman << EOF
CONNECT TARGET /
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
SET DBID 3754763357; #DBID of PROD database
RUN
   ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE disk format '/u01/oradata/backups';
   RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/u01/oradata/backups/sb_t790762003_s85_p1';
   ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
   SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CLONE/system01.dbf';
    SET NEWNAME FOR TEMPFILE 1 TO '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CLONE/temp01.dbf';
   RESTORE DATABASE;
   SWITCH DATAFILE ALL;
   RECOVER DATABASE;
   release channel c1;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS; So you need "SET NEWNAME" for all your files

How to install and migrate a single DC to a new DC with folder redirection.

Greeting's,
I have a Windows Server 2012 running AD services. There is folder redirection enabled to facilitate user's logging in from a different machine and still being able access their personal files. Folder redirection is configured exactly as per following
microsoft document : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/hh848267.aspx
Even administrators cannot access user files due to ACL's.
I need to migrate from this AD server to a new one, including user files. Old server will be recommissioned for other role. How can I do this seamlessly?
Thank you very much in advance,
Parth D. Maniar

This is how I migrate redirected folders
Remove the setting to move content and set it so that it leaves path when policy is removed
Start a system cmd: psexec -i -s -d cmd
From this system cmd, robocopy all files to new server with permissions
Migrate shares by exporting/importing registry keys support.microsoft.com/kb/125996
Create new policy with new server name -OR- use cname/a host record
And ALWAYS enable "Verify old and new Folder Redirection targets point to the same share before redirecting" GPO

Moving DP Content to a New Server With Same Name

We are currently in the middle of a server OS refresh from 2k8 to 2k12 R2. Some of the servers are DPs so I need to move the content from one server to another. The big problem is that the new server must have the same name.
I've read this thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1ffcaa47-9bf8-476d-965e-28350a6bef1b/move-content-from-old-dp-to-new-dp-at-same-remote-site?forum=configmanagerapps which kind of covers my issue but I presume this person was going to
a server with a new name.
Has anyone done this? Is it possible?
Unless there is something clever the only way I see to do this is to uninstall the DP role from the current server, remove the current server from the domain, add the new server with the same name, re-install the DP role and then re-distribute all the content
to the new server. I'd rather not do this as the DP is on a remote site so all the content will be going over the WAN.
I am running SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3.
Any ideas?

Hi,
>>So can I pre-stage from the old server to the new server or does the pre-staging have to be done from the site server?
Yes, you could prestage content from the old server to the new server. Prestaged content files could be created from Configuration Manager Administrator Console.
>>What is the order of the process?
The following blog could help you to prestage content.

One server with DAM and more CQ instances

Hi all,
do you know if is possible to have one server with DAM and 3 server (Author/Publish) with CQ5 (CRX)? Is possible connect these three servers to one DAM? We have CQ5.5... Thank you for information.

First, I assume you are calling it a "server" but you really mean two separate servers for each of 1 - 4 (one author instance, and one publish instance). Is that correct?
For #3, you called it a "testing" server. What are you testing? Code? If so, you'll want to have a testing instance that matches each instance you have. Your "website" instances should have a testing server that matches the production environment. The "intranet" and "other apps" ones should as well. You wouldn't want to test all of those things on one instance, then separate them out in production. A production environment that does not match the testing environment is a recipe for disaster. I also wouldn't try to "migrate" content (DAM assets included) like you do code. Preload test environments with test content that closely mirror production, but you don't necessarilly need to be exact. This is especially true of heavy DAM assets. Just load a subset of videos/images/etc. on testing environments. It's not necessary to sync this with production.
Since #1 and #4 are both in the DMZ, I would use the same instance for both of these scenarios. Do you have a compelling reason to completely separate them? If you combine them, they share a DAM and the problem is solved.
For #2, how are you planning to integrate a non-DMZ instance with the others in the DMZ? This strikes me as a problem.

How come I can't put music on my ipod? I already have a fair amount of music on my ipod but I have enough space for more. I am using a new computer with itunes and it is telling me if I wasnt to put the new music on my ipd i need to erase my ipod HELP!

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:

Hello! I have a printer,Canon MP250 and I bought a new MacBookPro with Maverick and I cannot work this printer

Hello! I have a printer,Canon MP250 and I bought a new MacBookPro with Maverick and I cannot work this printer with the driver that came with the printer and I've tried to find an update but with no success, can you help me?
Thanks!!

you can try resetting the network settings in settings or you can try doing a reset - hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release. Then wait for the phone to boot back up. You won't lose any data.

Yes - well you have to make the file in a word processing Application.
You could use TextEdit (it's free) Pages (words only), or Numbers (data base) (they are part of iWorks - and may or may not be free (included) on your machine. You could use MS Office (it is not free) You could use any Open source word processor that plays well with Office (NeoOffice, StarOffice) they are free.
That's how you create content and copy/paste URLS. Then you save the file to the desktop. If you are going to make more than one file... you make a folder on the desktop and save, or drag the file(s) into it.
You attach it to your e-mail client which will compress it and e-mail it. An excellent reference is to use Help, from the menu bar, also from inside any application. From your library or book store the OS X for Dummies has a lot of useful information (you don't read it cover to cover but look up chapters about what you'd like to do)
You can also make appointments at your local Apple store for individualized help (if a store is nearby)

Buy new computer with Yosemite and downgrade to Mountain Lion?

Is it possible to buy a new machine with Yosemite and instead somehow downgrade/revert to Mountain Lion? There's a program I like to use that is no longer updated by the developer and isn't terribly stable on the latest two releases of OS X...

No, except by running it inside a program such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion.

The apps I currently have are for the i phone and i pad but i would like to see this on this computer
On the Mac Air launch iTunes. Then connect either the iPad or iPhone.
Select the iPad or iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
Then select Apps from the menu on the right.
If you don't see the apps listed there, from your iTunes menu bar (top of your screen), click Store > Authorize This Computer.
See if that makes a difference...

If i replace my iphone5. will i get a new iphone5 with box and all new accessories?

Vague.
If you buy a new on , then yes you will get all of that.
If it is replaced under warranty, then no. You will get a service unit, could be a refurb, with no accessories - you need to keep everything but the iphone itself when you have it exchanged.

Move database to new server from ASM to FS

Hey, I have to move my database from ASM to filesystem storge (10.2.0.3 on sles 10 sp1)
The new server is also sles 10 sp1.
Can I just do an full export on the source site, and an import on the target site ? Will that work ?
Any other steps to perform ?
Chris

Hi,
1. Export db wlth FULL=Y . and then we have to create new database at target location and then import operation have to done.
2.we can take rman backup, restore rman backup in target location. This method will reduce the complexity
take backup through Rman.
Target location:-
1. export ORACLE_SID=xxx
2. rman target /
3. startup nomount
4.RMAN> RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM 'backup piece';
5.RMAN> alter database mount;
6.
set newname for datafile '+DG/datafile.dbf' to 'FS/location';(do for all datafiles)
restore database;
switch datafile all;}
7. alter database rename file '+DG/datafile.dbf' to 'FS/location';(do for all datafiles)
8.alter database open;
follow these steps from ASM TO FS.
