If you have storage snapshots, you can restore using a snapshot on different
server.

Subject: Standing up new 60 TB Standby DB on different storage - 3 options -
are there more?
Scenario:
60 TB database on 12.1 (no multi-tenant)
Requirement:
Create Standby DB on a new host with new storage
Here are the options I've identified. I'm looking for others - or concerns
about any of these 3. Personally, I favor #1 but with this size database, I'm
not sure how "smart" it is.
1. Active Duplicate from Primary to Standby using RMAN duplicate - I like this
one, but never done a database of this size before. Am concerned about it
failing midstream but I "think" an RMAN duplicate will pick up where it left
off if you have to restart it?
2. RMAN backup to disk on primary , swing luns to new Standby server and
restore backup? Concern here is the time element involved in the backup,
recovery and maintaining archivelogs necessary for the recovery
3. Standby Database Creation using incremental backups of datafiles like this:
https://blog.rackspace.com/standby-database-creation-of-vldbs. Concern here is ;
that I've never done this method and seems like it could be prone to errors
Any other options I'm not considering? Any comments on the above options?
Thanks,
Chris
