Oracle DB Clone without SMO

wintermute — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:43:32 GMT

I want to clone our production DWH DB to our test environment with a different DB Name (DWHP -> DWHT). Since both DB's run on Solaris with Containers we cann't use Snap Manager for Oracle. I have found a few references in the web that indicate that it is possible to do this manually using FlexClone.

Is this possible ? Can anybody point me to a description or white paper where the procedure is described, including pre and post work in the Oracle DB's ?

thanks

eric

Hi and welcome to the Community!

Did you try searching the online library (http://www.netapp.com/us/library/)?

One of the docs with the info looking relevant to your case:

(chapter 11 & appendix with hot-backup mode scripts)
