Cloning an Oracle Home (vs reinstalling & patching) is one of my favorite
features of the Oracle software.
However, I don't use dbca so haven't seen that particular problem.
Open up the dbca script and check the paths it's expecting. Perhaps those
paths need to modified for that to work in the new location of the new home.

A DBA who is no longer with the company cloned a RAC home, disabled RAC
since we don't want it on this new server, and ran the clone.pl per a doc
she said she found on MOS. All seemed to go well except dbca will not
work. It doesn't throw an error, just closes the linux session. Suffice
to say her documentation, or lack thereof, of her steps and any errors is
less than adequate. I'm attempting to replicate on a test server and have
done the following:
1. Zipped the OHome (RAC was already disabled here)
2. Copied the zip file to the new server and unzipped it
3. Ran the clone.pl script, which said all linking, setup, etc. was
successful.
4. Tried to start dbca, but it just closed my linux session
Any suggestions?
I've also been attempting to download new non-RAC binaries, but I don't
have enough disk space in my downloads directory. I'll need to jump
through hoops and get managers involved to get more space and I don't seem
to have another directory that I can use with sufficient space. Is there
another way to get these files? I would prefer a clean install for the
next non-RAC server.
