Database cloning

Cold Backup Steps:

1. Get the file path information using below query

Select name from v$datafile;


select member from v$logfile;
select name from v$controlfile;

2. Parameter file backup

If troy database running on spfile

Create pfile=’/u01/backup/inittroy.ora’ from spfile;

If database running in pfile using os command to copy the pfile and placed in
backup path.

3.Taken the control file backup


Alter database backup controlfile to trace as ‘/u01/backup/control01.ora’;

4.Shutdown immediate

5.Copy all the data files/log files using os command & placed in backup
path.

6.Startup the database.

Database cloning(Renaming)

1. Created the destination directory structure(dump directory to hold target database


dumps).

/d03/oracle10g/oradata/CLNTEST
/d03/oracle10g/admin/CLNTEST

2. Copied source datafiles from cold backup to the target.

3. Produce a pfile for new database(CLNTEST).


Changed name of the db and files path.

4 Copied Sql statements for generating control files into create_control_file.sql from trace file.

Changed dbname.
Change ‘reuse’ to ‘set’
With resetlog option
/d03/oracle10g/admin/CLNTEST/udump/ create_control_file.sql
5. Set oracle_sid
$export ORACLE_SID=CLNTEST
$echo $ORACLE_SID(it should display the newdb name)

6. Startup database in no mount stage.

 Startup nomount.

7. Created new control files using script

 @/d03/oracle10g/admin/CLNTEST/udump/create_control_file.sql

8. Data base is opened.

 Alter database open resetlogs;


 select status from v$insatnce
 open
 select name from v$database
 CLNTEST

Clone an Oracle Database using Hot Physical Backup

Database Name: troy

Database must be in Archive log mode.

Source Database side: (Troy database)

Hot Backup Steps:

1.Get the file path information using below query.


Select tablespace_name, file_name from dba_data_files order by 1;

2. Parameter file backup

If troy database running on spfile

Create pfile=’/u01/backup/inittroy.ora’ from spfile;

If database running in pfile using os command to copy the pfile and placed in backup
path.

3.Put the tablespace in begin backup mode Using os command to copy the datafiles
belongs to begin backup mode tablespace & placed in backup path. (Refer below
example)
4.Once copied the datafile, release the tablespace from begin backup mode to end backup
5.Repeat the steps 1-3 for all your tablespaces.
6.Taken the controlfile backup
Alter database backup controlfile to trace as ‘/u01/backup/control01.ora’;

7.Backup all your archive log files between the previous backup and the new backup as
well.

Example:
steps:
2.Alter tablespace system begin backup;

To ensure the begin backup mode tablespace using below query


Select * from v$backup; (refer the Change#, Time column)

3. Host cp /u01/oracle/raja/system1.DBF /u01/backup/system01.dbf à using os command


to copy the datafile.
4. Alter tablespace system end backup;
To ensure the begin backup mode tablespace using below query
Select * from v$backup;

Clone Database side: (Clone database)

Database Name: Clone

Clone Database Steps:

1.Create the appropriate folder in corresponding path & placed the backup files in
corresponding folder.(bdump,udump,create,pfile,cdump,oradata)
2.Change the init.ora parameter like control file path, dbname, instance name etc...

3.Create the password file using orapwd utility.

(Database in windows we need to create the service id using oradim utility)

4.Startup the Database in NOMOUNT stage.

5.Create the control file for cloning database.

Using backup controlfile trace to generate the create controlfile scripts.


Change the Database name & files path, also change 'REUSE' needs to be changed to
'SET'.

CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "clone" RESETLOGS FORCE


LOGGING NOARCHIVELOG

Note: placed the script in sql prompt. Now controlfile created.

6.Recover the database using controlfile.

Recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;

7.Now open the database.

Alter database open resetlogs;

Note: Check the logfile, datafiles status.
