Hi, years ago we use to install oracle on one unix machine...tar it up

my current group to do that method again but just wanted to know if
anybody is doing it or has tried it...
And/or is there problems preventing or complicating this?
I have written a document which answers your questions, here is the summary:
"Five shortcomings of the OUI process were identified. Using the
standard Linux and Unix 'rsync' command, a method for reliably cloning
ORACLE_HOME's was presented, which offers improvements in all five
areas. Through judicious use of the --exclude-from and --dry-run
options, the power of rsync can be tamed in the service of multiple
Oracle software installations."
It's not right for every situation, but it definitely works well in
some. Full document at the following link:
