Configuration of the Destination
After the backup files have been copied, then we have to perform duplication as follows:
Ensure that the database is dropped and started in NOMOUNT state
SQL> shutdown abort; ORACLE instance shut down. SQL> startup mount exclusive restrict ORACLE instance started. Total System Global Area 1.0689E+10 bytes Fixed Size 2237776 bytes Variable Size 6241127088 bytes Database Buffers 4429185024 bytes Redo Buffers 16924672 bytes Database mounted. SQL> drop database;
After that the SPFILE/PFILE should be modified so it will reflect the replica server and the database started in NOMOUNT mode:
SQL> startup pfile='/home/oracle/textpfile' nomount; ORACLE instance started. Total System Global Area 4275781632 bytes Fixed Size 2235208 bytes Variable Size 2298479800 bytes Database Buffers 1962934272 bytes Redo Buffers 12132352 bytes
From the recovery Manager, duplicate the database using the backups which were copied:
