    Move database from one unix box to another

    Hi Guys
    I am working on a project that requires me to move a 10.2.0.2 database from one unix server to another and rename it.
    Can any one of you send me a step by step doc please or advise?
    Thanks

    You need t install the same version of Oracle with the same patches. It needs to be the same operating system, and it helps if the file layout is the same. Shutdown your original database and copy over the datafiles, log files and archive log files into the same directory structure. You can also copy over you admin folder and the files in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs. Although you will want to recreate your external password file with orapwd. Then you shoul be able to start up the database on the new server.

    If you want to change the name or file location of the database, then you need to "alter database backup controlfile to trace;". Then look for the folder in your $ORACLE_BASE/admin/sidname/udump folder or wherever udump is on your system and edit the file for the new system.

    If you don't know what I am talking about then you should get someone to help you to move the database.

    You can use rsync to copy the files over.

    Here is the example rsync syntax to copy the Oracle Home from one server (linux3) to another server (linux4). This process will ensure that all symbolic links and files owned by root get copied over correctly. Login to the source database server (linux3) as the root user account and run the following:

    [root@linux3 ~]# rsync -auvzpogl -e ssh /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/ linux4:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/

    Which is why the above command is going over ssh to encrypt the data over the network.
