Cloning a database from an Oracle Intelligent Policy (OIP) that is Data Guard aware

If you want to clone a database that was backed up with an Oracle Intelligent Policy that is Data Guard aware, the databases in the Oracle Data Guard must be defined within NetBackup.

See Manage a Data Guard.

Note the following about cloning from Data Guard configurations:

  • A clone from a primary node backup or from a logical standby is similar to a clone from a typical database.

  • For a clone from a physical or a snapshot standby, the success of the clone depends on the state of the redo log sets that NetBackup has access to.

    The following example RMAN steps may resolve an issue after a clone:

    SQL> alter database drop standby logfile group 1;
    Database altered.
    SQL> alter database drop standby logfile group 2;
    Database altered.
    SQL> alter database drop standby logfile group 3;
    Database altered.
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE group 1 ('c:\clone\REDO01.LOG') size 5M;
    Database altered.
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE group 2 ('c:\clone\REDO02.LOG') size 5M;
    Database altered.
    SQL> alter database activate standby database;
    Database altered.
    SQL> alter database open;
