Information in this document applies to any platform.
The information supplied in this bulletin is applicable to Oracle10g Release 2 (10.2) and Oracle11g Release 1 (11.1) or later installations on any Unix/Linux platform.
It is not applicable to Oracle on any Windows platform.
Purpose
Support previously created <Note:300062.1> to help customers to clone their Oracle database installations. This bulletin is an extension to the above note.
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide a list of the steps required to clone an Oracle10g Release 2 (10.2) or Oracle11g Release 1 (11.1) or later installation from a source home to a target location (on the same server, or on another server) and simultaneously change the user/group that owns the software installation.
Oracle Development have reviewed these steps and confirmed that the procedure is supported.
Scope
This bulletin is intended for anyone responsible for installing/cloning Oracle software on a Unix/Linux server
The procedure below assumes that Oracle10g Release 2 (10.2) or Oracle11g Release 1 (11.1) or later version is already installed in a source home on a server.
If you are cloning to a separate server, verify that the server meets all of the defined requirements (see <Note:169706.1> for a list of these)
If you are cloning to an AIX server that has not previously had any Oracle software installed on it, download <patch 6613550> and run the supplied rootpre.sh script so that the server is configured ready for the Oracle software.
It is recommended that you not attempt to change the ORACLE_BASE when cloning an ORACLE_HOME. If you change it anyway, you will at least need to update the $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/oraclehomeproperties.xml file to reflect a change in the ORACLE_BASE, though there could be other changes Oracle Support is not aware of.
