Hello Didn't see the original post, but yes I have (sort of)
As Christian said, I also had to copy the log files. I didn't do it with a DB copy because that wouldn't start up, the clone server complained about it's copy volumes so I reduced the copies to one on the donor machine, copied the DB/logs and added copies back. The copy was done while the server was down. For the life of me I can't remember what I did about the dbpageshadowfile..... Maybe a better approach would be a db backup to a file type device?

Because you need log files and DBPageShadowFile synced with your databases. I was involved with IGS/IBM SWG when we clone couple hundred of Linux TSM Servers using CBMR. But that was more for a installation point of view? We where looking at DB Mirror and Log Mirror (DBCOPY LOGCOPY) and had to much problems, so they ended with CBMR to install/Clone and DB Backup to keep a copy of the database after installation.

If so, would you be willing to discuss the steps you went thru. Thanks, David Ehresman [email protected] 502-852-5224
