Copying target DB online using RMAN

  • From: "fmhabash@xxxxxxxxx" <fmhabash@xxxxxxxxx>
  • To: oracle-l <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The objective is to move a DB to a set of new disks on the same host with minimal downtime using RMAN, then switch the application to using the newly moved DB. My idea is to do is using COMPLETE duplicate process. Generically, these are the steps...


1- clone DB from its previous day backup.
2- perform complete recovery.

Has any one done this before? If yes, any recommendations or alerts? Of particular interest, how does RMAN manage to do complete recovery to the last available archive log?
