Hi,
I've been trying to clone our 11.2 Oracle RAC databases on AIX 6.1 using Snap Creator 4.0p1d2 without success. The database uses ASM for database storage with each disk group using a separate volume. Example diskgroup layout:
DG_DATA - datafiles
DG_ORL - online redo
DG_FLASH - controlfiles
DG-ARCH - archived redo logs
A config was created for the data disk group which in turn calls another config for the archivelog disk group. Once snapshot copy is complete and volumes have been Snap mirrored to a remote server I then mount the ASM diskgroups and recover the database. However, the recovery process always fails. Here's an output of recovery operation after issuing the command RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL:

I've successfully used the same process for a single instance database. Is Oracle RAC supported for use with Snap Creator with the Oracle plug-in?
Thanks,
