Oracle installation: Oracle Binary Cloning

Clone the oracle software between two server.

Please check the OS compatibility are same between source & destination server.


Source Server:
****************

steps 1:

ORACLE_HOME: /apps/oracle/product/10.2.0.1

Tar the oracle home 10.2.0.1

$cd /apps/oracle/product

Steps 3:


Create the oratab file in appropriate path.

Enter the detail first in oratab: Eg..

Cat Oratab
cd /var/opt/oracle/oratab
testdb:/apps/oracle/product/10.2.0.1:N

Steps 4:

Invoke the oraenv ( Optional method)

I need to create the testdb instance in dest server.

cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
export ORACLE_HOME=/apps/oracle/product/10.2.0.1

Source the SID ----- Here it is testdb
. oraenv
testdb

Steps 5:

Create the oraInst.loc in appropriate path.

Edit the oraInst.loc
/var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc
inventory_loc=/apps/oracle/product/10.2.0.1/oraInventory

Steps 6:

./runInstaller -clone -silent -ignoreSysPrereqs ORACLE_HOME="/apps/oracle/product/10.2.0.1" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="OHOME10"


Steps 7:

Execute the relink all

$Cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin

$ls -lart relink*

$relink all

Note:
changePerm.sh is a script that allows users that do not belong to the "dba" group to access and execute files in the ORACLE_HOME directory.

you need to run the changeperm.sh file in $ORACLE_HOME/install
