Some background, I'll try to be brief. We have had several failures of
a DR test, the last being due to lack of time to restore the database, a
large DW. The DR test server was allocated for the duration of the test
only. The tape subsystem (Legato) was required for normal backups at
18:00 every day. Because the DR test server was on a different network,
the tape system had to be switched between the two.
Anyway, the idea is to use an ex Oracle W2K server as the DR test
server, this server will be on the normal network, and therefore the
tape system and server will be available however long it takes.
I'm thinking that the best way is the clone the production database
home, onto the DR test server, so we get the environments as close as
possible, if this fails, I will do an install.
Time is short, because downtime has been scheduled soon for the
production server, so we can copy the Oracle Home off. Won't hurt
trying anyway, I guess.
Regards.

The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be
regarded as a criminal offence.
