Hi Gurus,

I want to move UNDOTBS to another mount point on SUN server.
at present UNDOTBS is on /u01/app/oracle/oradata/ovpi/ and I want to move this to /u03/app/oracle/oradata/ovpi/.

As I am running out of space on u01 as UNDOTBS is autoextent ON and have took nearly 5G on /u01.

My database is using spfile and versio is 9.2.0.4 64bit.

Your help will be appreciated.

This is my first post to orafaq.

Cheers

Follow this procedure:

1. Shutdown the database
2. Move the datafile to its new location.
3. Do a "STARTUP MOUNT"
4. ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '/old/location' TO '/new/location';
5. ALTER DATABASE OPEN;

If you need to avoid shutting down the instance, you can do the following:

--Create new undo tablespace:
SQL> create undo tablespace UNDOTBS02 datafile '/u03/app/oracle/oradata/ovpi/undo02.dbf' size 1000m;

--Set new tablespace as undo_tablespace:
SQL> alter system set undo_tablespace=undotbs02;

--Drop the old tablespace:
SQL> drop tablespace undotbs including contents;

When dropping the old tablespace, you may encounter an ORA-30013 error. This essentially indicates that you must wait for any existing transactions using this tablespace to either commit or rollback before the tablespace can be dropped.

I hope by now, you might have resolved your issue, but YEs, the modification in init file & subsequently in spfile is required. You need to change the parameter for undo tablespace to this new tablespace name.
