ORACLE NAIO
Recovery Catalog is created and registered with Database

Steps to create Recovery catalog:

Assume that my database SID is db02 and I am going to create recovery catalog
in db02.
a) export ORACLE_SID=db02
b) sqlplus ‘/as sysdba’
c) create tablespace dummy datafile ‘/u01/oracle9i/oradata/db02/dummy01.dbf’
size 200m autoextend on;
d) create user catalog identified by catalog default tablespace dummy quota
unlimited on dummy;
e) Grant recovery_catalog_owner to rman;
f) Exit
g) Connect as catalog user as connect catalog/catalog@db02
h) Create catalog
i) Exit

Steps to register recovery catalog with target database:

a) rman catalog catalog/catalog target sys/welcome@db01
b) register database.
Hence Recovery catalog is create and registered with target database.

Listener for recover catalog is up and running

Lsnrctl start and see that db02 is configured with listener with netmgr tool or edit
listener.ora and tnsnames.ora file located in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
manually.

Target database is started and running

export ORACLE_SID=db01
Su – oracle9i
Sqlplus ‘/as sysdba’
Startup

Listener of Target database is up and running

Lsnrctl start and see that db01 is configured with listener with netmgr tool or edit
listener.ora and tnsnames.ora file located in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
manually.
Think of New Clone SID

ORACLE_SID=dup

Create all directory structures as required

Oracle9i

Admin Oradata

db01 dup db01 dup

bdump udump cdump bdump udump cdump

Steps to be performed under target database.

From the target database

rman target sys/welcome@db01 catalog catalog/catalog@db02
connect to rman……
backup database plus archivelog

Whole Database backup along with archivelog files are taken.

Steps to be performed under Clone (Duplicate) Database.

Source the Environmental variables. (. Dup.env)
Sqlplus ‘/as sysdba’
Startup nomount
Exit

Connect to RMAN:

rman target sys/welcome@db01 catalog catalog/catalog@db02 auxiliary /

Connected to rman.......

CONFIGURE AUXILIARY NAME for all datafiles.

using....
 CONFIGURE AUXNAME FOR DATAFILE
'/u01/oracle9i/oradata/db01/system01.dbf' TO '/u01/oracle9i/oradata/dup/system01.dbf';
CONFIGURE AUXNAME FOR DATAFILE
'/u01/oracle9i/oradata/db01/undotbs01.dbf' TO '/u01/oracle9i/oradata/dup/undotbs01.dbf';
CONFIGURE AUXNAME FOR DATAFILE
'/u01/oracle9i/oradata/db01/cwmlite01.dbf' TO
'/u01/oracle9i/oradata/dup/cwmlite01.dbf';
CONFIGURE AUXNAME FOR DATAFILE
'/u01/oracle9i/oradata/db01/drsys01.dbf' TO '/u01/oracle9i/oradata/dup/drsys01.dbf';
CONFIGURE AUXNAME FOR DATAFILE
'/u01/oracle9i/oradata/db01/example01.dbf' TO
'/u01/oracle9i/oradata/dup/example01.dbf';
CONFIGURE AUXNAME FOR DATAFILE
'/u01/oracle9i/oradata/db01/indx01.dbf' TO '/u01/oracle9i/oradata/dup/indx01.dbf';
CONFIGURE AUXNAME FOR DATAFILE
'/u01/oracle9i/oradata/db01/odm01.dbf' TO '/u01/oracle9i/oradata/dup/odm01.dbf';
CONFIGURE AUXNAME FOR DATAFILE
'/u01/oracle9i/oradata/db01/tools01.dbf' TO '/u01/oracle9i/oradata/dup/tools01.dbf';
CONFIGURE AUXNAME FOR DATAFILE
'/u01/oracle9i/oradata/db01/xdb01.dbf' TO '/u01/oracle9i/oradata/dup/xdb01.dbf';

From RMAN command prompt run the following command........

run {
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO dup LOGFILE
GROUP 1 ('/u01/oracle9i/oradata/dup/redo01.log') size 1m reuse,
GROUP 2 ('/u01/oracle9i/oradata/dup/redo02.log') size 1m reuse,
GROUP 3 ('/u01/oracle9i/oradata/dup/redo03.log') size 1m reuse;
}

Hence Cloning is done using RMAN.
