Hi Sami, I have found under HP-UX, that I can use the dd command to copy the raw device files to a file system without issue.
The command syntax I used was: dd if=raw_device_file_name of=destination_file_name bs=8192 Hope this helps, Bryan Rodrigues Oracle DBA Elcom Inc. -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, September 08, 2003 10:04 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi List, Good Morning! I have DB-1 which has all the files in raw device. I want to create DB-2 (clone of DB-1) on another server which has file system. Is it possible to create clone DB from raw device to file system( same OS and oracle version)? You help is really appreciated. Thanks Sami __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
