What Oracle versions? What hardware platforms? 


Sorry, more clarification....


10.2.0.2 RAC on Linux RHAS4, 64bit Opteron CPUs, HP Blades for all nodes. EMC DMX 800 storage presented via powerpath to ASM - same for source and target environments.


The goal is to duplicate a database on the 3-node cluster to a physically-separate 2-node cluster - same type hardware, same type OS, same type disks, etc.


I've found a little information here and there but nothing very helpful...


Thanks!

Subject: Duplicate production RAC to a staging/test RAC


hi,

Just wondering if anyone had any insights/tips/pitfalls regarding how to
duplicate a database from a production RAC environment to a testing RAC
environment.


I need a way to make a complete copy of a database in a 3 node RAC and
put it into a 2 node RAC on completely different hardware - we give the
developers and testing groups a complete copy of production to play
with.  Today it's all standalone instances but shortly I will need to
migrate these environments to the new RAC environments.


thanks
