There is a clone functionality in RMAN I think it would be quite easy to get RMAN to restore a database on a different system. the trivky bit is getting TDP to act like the other node I guess you would need to change the dsm.sys node name and rerun the password program. Then it's restore database. Failing that you can always restore the database to an alternate directory on the original system and then copy it over to the other system.
Might be a bit hard if it's areally large database. -----Original Message----- From: Theresa Sarver [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday 20 February 2003 23:38 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Restoring RMAN data onto different server Hi All; Environment: SP Complex (7 nodes) AIX 433 ML10 TSM Server 5162 TSM Clients 415 TDP Oracle 110 Oracle Database (RMAN) 817 The DBA's asked me if they could possibly restore one of their test RMAN (817) databases onto a different node, as I do not know the answer to this question I am deferring to all your experts out there. Thank you in advance for the help; Theresa
