The Oracle 8i install on Solaris does hard code some of the os path's into
some of the binaries (particularly java related ones) and the database will
work fine assuming everything is soft linked properly until you need to
apply a patch or upgrade the system. T universal installer had issues even
though the orainventory was identical to the other server. I had to install
the software and only then I could apply patches. I haven't tried this with
9i but IMHO I'd avoid it. I hear 10g will allow cloning of an installation
onto the grid.

I don't need RMAN, client is insisting on it.
I thought the "RESETLOGS" just reset the redo counter.
I'd swear we did that with another database and RMAN got all
confused about what DBID the archives belonged to.
And now that you mentioned it Mladen, can I take my 9i install, tar
it up and copy it to another server? Apply some soft links and do a relink
all instead of multiple installs?
This particular client has all SUN servers.
Thanks
Larry

Actually, why do you need rman? If you use the the cloning tool
known as "cp" or "scp", if the clone needs to be on another node,
you can get the desired result with a FS-based database. The DBID
problem is solved by opening the database with the "RESETLOGS" option.
Once you issue "alter database open resetlogs" command, your old
DBID is gone and, technically speaking, you have a new database.
