Duplicate a database using rman backups in oracle 11gr2


Duplicate a database using Rman backups in oracle 11gR2.

Duplicating a database or database cloning creates a seperate database that contains all or subset of the source database. Here we don't have to establish the network connection between the source and target host servers, we just need to copy all the rman backups to the target server.

The source database name is "testdb" and I am duplicating with the same name as the source database in the target server. The source hostname is test and the that of target is test1.

SOURCE SERVER


Copy the rman backups to the target server

Copy the spfile and control file auto backup  


[oracle@test ~]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/TESTDB/autobackup/2013_05_06
[oracle@test 2013_05_06]$ ls -lrt

[oracle@test 2013_05_06]$ scp o1_mf_s_814742526_8rhnfbd2_.bkp oracle@192.168.1.193:/u01/app/oradata/backup/

Copy the backup sets of all the datafiles and archive logs

[oracle@test backup]$ ls -lrt

[oracle@test backup]$ 


TARGET SERVER

Check to see all the backups are copied to the target server location


[oracle@test1 ~]$ cd /u01/app/oradata/backup/
[oracle@test1 backup]$ ls -lrt
total 1099360
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall    9830400 May  6 21:28 o1_mf_s_814742526_8rhnfbd2_.bkp

-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 1077731328 May  6 21:35 df_0eo8vujn_1_1.dbf
[oracle@test1 backup]$ pwd
/u01/app/oradata/backup
[oracle@test1 backup]$ 

Create the necessary directories


Here I have created all the directories same as that of source server.

[oracle@test1 ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/oradata/testdb
[oracle@test1 ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/testdb
[oracle@test1 ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/testdb/adump

Create a pfile with the name inittestdb.ora


Create a pfile with only one parameter DB_NAME, rest of the parameters will be available from the spfile backup during duplication.

[oracle@test1 ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
[oracle@test1 ~]$ cat inittestdb.ora

DB_NAME=testdb

[oracle@test1 ~]$

Start the duplicate database in nomount


[oracle@test1 ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=testdb
[oracle@test1 ~]$ sqlplus
