Hi,

Thank you for the search and the reply. I have already scanned the posts and the web for a conclusive answer, but I did not get a negative yet on the multiOS scenario if done manually without data gaurd.

Let me explain.

If we clone the database thru use of svrmgr command, trace the controlfile, copy the datafiles, keep the blocksize of both OS same, is it possible to clone it ? We will not use any oracle provided replication feature.

Any response appreciated, thank you

No, you already have your answer RTFL (read the friendy link!)

you can create a copy of your db on the other server using export/import but you won't be able to run it as a hot standby
