Duplication to the same Server Using Disk Backups Step 1.

Build your auxiliary database directory structures: mkdir /oracle/oradata/aux1 mkdir /oracle/oradata/aux1/arch cd /oracle/admin mkdir aux1 cd aux1 mkdir pfile dbump udump cdump ls Step 2. Copy the target init.ora file to the auxiliary location. if your target database uses an spfile, you need to create a pfile from the spfile in order capture parameters to move over if you use an spfile at your target, enter the following sql> connect / as sysdba create pfile='/oracle/admin/aux1/init.ora' from spfile; cp initprod.ora /oracle/admin/aux1/pfile/init.ora Step 3. Make all necessary changes to your aux1 init.ora file: db_name=aux1 ########################################### # Diagnostics and Statistics ########################################### background_dump_dest=/oracle/admin/aux1/bdump core_dump_dest=/oracle/admin/aux1/cdump timed_statistics=TRUE user_dump_dest=/oracle/admin/aux1/udump ########################################### # File Configuration ########################################### control_files=("/oracle/oradata/aux1/control01.ctl") instance_name=aux1 db_file_name_convert=('HMDEV','aux1') log_file_name_convert=('HMDEV','aux1') remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive Step 4. Build your aux1 password file Step 5. start the aux1 instance in nomount mode: ORACLE_SID=aux1;export ORACLE_SID sqlplus /nolog sql> connect / as sysdba sql> startup nomount pfile=/oracle/admin/aux1/pfile/initaux1.ora Step 6. Configure your network files for connection to aux1. After making any changes to your listener.ora file, be sure that you bounce your listener, or the

change will not take effect lsnrctl stop lsnrctl start tnsnames.ora aux1 = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 190.2.12.113)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = aux1) ) ) listener.ora SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST = (SID_DESC = (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc) (ORACLE_HOME = /oracle/product/920 ) (PROGRAM = extproc) ) (SID_DESC = (GLOBAL_DBNAME = hmdev) (ORACLE_HOME = /oracle/product/920) (SID_NAME = hmdev) ) (SID_DESC = (GLOBAL_DBNAME = aux1) (ORACLE_HOME = /oracle/product/920) (SID_NAME = aux1) ) ) STep 7. From RMAN, connect to the target and auxiliary instance and run the dupl icate command ORACLE_SID=HMDEV; export ORACLE_SID rman RMAN> connect target / connected to target database: HMDEV (DBID=289711392) RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/oracle@aux1 connected to auxiliary database: aux1 (not mounted) RMAN> duplicate target database to aux1 pfile=/oracle/product/920/dbs/initaux1.o ra
