Cloning Oracle Home using OUI
You can clone an existing Oracle Home in the same host using this procedure:
1. Install
Oracle
Home
in its source directory, include all necessary patchsets
and patches.
2. Perform a recursive copy of the source
Oracle
Home
to the target
Oracle
Home
This step must be run as root to preserve the file permissions (use the
cp -Rp
command options).
3. Verify Oracle has the proper file and directory permissions in the
target directory.
4.
Run the following command to clone the installation with the OUI:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/clone/bin
perl clone.pl ORACLE_HOME="<target_home>" ORACLE_HOME_
NAME="<unique_home_name>"
° An alternative method of cloning can be achieved using
the following commands:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin
./runInstaller -clone -silent -ignorePreReq ORACLE_
HOME="<target_home>" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="<unique_home_
name>"
If required, add
-invPtrLoc <path>/oraInst.loc
or
-ignoreSysPrereqs
to the command line.
5.
As root, run the
root.sh
file which is located at the target
Oracle Home directory.
Summary
Oracle Universal Inventory is more than just the Oracle Installer. It allows you to
more efficiently perform the installation tasks in an environment where batch installs
are a very frequent requirement.
Creating a silent install allows you to create a character mode installer that requires
no graphical interface. You can link several OUI sessions in batch mode and you can
use the silent mode of other tools such as DBCA and NETCA to perform a full setup
including the database and other configuration assistants.
