Hello 11.2.0.2 on AIX 6.1 What are the things to consider when cloning a RAC database to another RAC database on the same server using ASM. The new database will have a different ORACLE_HOME. The plan is to use the same ASM diskgroups as the existing RAC database, we have plenty of free space in the ASM diskgroups for the new database. Here is my rough plan... 1) Install binaries on new ORACLE_HOME 2) RMAN duplicate to clone the database. Anything else I should consider or is this fairly straightforward. TIA. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
