Hi again,
I'll assume from your earlier earlier postings that you have succesfully
managed to create one instance and should therefore have an
init<SID>.ora directory in your $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory. Hopefully
you will also have a database creation script, if not you will have to
create your database manually as before.
Essentially you will have to do the follwing things (I will also assume
that the versions of Oracle software are to be the same
- set ORACLE_SID to be the name of your new instance.
- edit init<SID>.ora to ensure that the files specified by
control_files are changed (also log_archive_dest + log_archive_format if
set). The best way to make this easier for yourself is to adopt a naming
covention (for ALL files not just those referred to in init.ora) which
includes the SID name. This way (as long as the value of SID is
sensible) a simple global edit should safely make all the changes you
require.
Also the line specifying private rollback segments (rollback_segments =
... ) will have to be commented out (you don't have any until you create
them!)
Once all the edits have been done save the file as
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<new_SID>.ora
- You should now be able to log into svrmgrl (or SQL*DBA pre 7.3) and
create your database. I want go into detail about this as I assume you
have done it already (You can email me for more advice if you need it).
I will stress once again that all the datafile names need to be
DIFFERENT from those in your existing instance otherwise you will end up
trashing that one.
- Once you have done this you need to re-instate the rollback_segment =
.. line in the init.ora file to point to the rollback segements you
have created in the new database and re-start the instance.
Best of Luck,
Ian
