URGENT-oracle 9.2 db backup and restore

Hi,

My oracle db 9.2 is installed on HP-UX 11.x. I am using db instance "ovsdnew". This db is used by my service desk server. Now I want to create the same replication on another server.

My RMAN is not working.Can any1 suggest me how can I take the back up of db from one server. and restore it on other "empty" db.

Regards,
Akies

Re: URGENT-oracle 9.2 db backup and restore

A couple of ways:

1) Shut down the DB. Copy from servera to serverb. Adjust the locations of the db files and start on the new server.

2) Export on servera and import on serverb.

hi,

If you manage to fix the RMAN problem you can just duplicate the database.

The easy way to do the replication, is shutdown the database and copy all the database files to the other server and start it there. Of course, depending on the size of the database and possibility of doing a shutdown are the main issues..

You can get all the information on the files being used by the database by generating the the trace file of the control file.

(this should show you all the files being used by the database)


Hope this helps!
