If you perform instance recovery  (ie Crash Recovery) on the cloned database
(because you have the controlfiles and online redo logs -- not my caveat that the controlfiles and online redo logs must be from the same snapshot as the datafiles, in my earlier email
titled "Re: NetApp flier - based snapshots and db backups -- CAVEATS"

and are able to open it without having to do a RESETLOGS, there are ways to apply "future" Archivelogs to it.

See http://hemantoracledba.blogspot.com/2007/05/rollforward-from-cold-backup.html
or MetaLink note 271916.1

Just to help clarify, and make sure I understand correctly - I think what you're both saying is that you could use the copied data, control and online log files to start another copy of the database instance, which would then perform crash recovery, i.e. roll forward through the online logs and then rollback any uncommitted transactions. However you could not apply any archived logs to the copied database. Please let me know if I've got it wrong.

Thanks,

From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Closson, Kevin A no, it will look like you powered off the system by physically pulling the electrical cord. It is restartable, but you can't use it on some other system and apply logs to roll it forward.

It would be like a shutdown abort copy right ?
i.e when started oracle would do a crash recovery since the snapshot includes online logs.
