Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RMAN and NFS
Jfs2 is our file system on AIX. It is irrelevant to the current questions,
sorry. We used to NFS mount our backup directory on box a to box b to clone
a database from a to b. Then we stopped using NFS and just copied our
backups from a to b using FTP and did the clone from box b. We put our disk
backups on tape so we have even restored the tape to box b. Now, we have
all drives in one SAN and backup everything on box a which can be seen from
box b. In any configuration, the evolution of 'cloning' a database has been
been dramatic. Once you have your backups in the right place, and your
directories on the clone side defined, you just execute a 'duplicate'
command and it's done.
Have a look at the demo script ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/case4.rcv. This pretty much tells you what to do.

Ruth, thanks for your prompt reply.
Don't know what jfs2 is. I suppose I should have defined my environment a little better.
This is Oracle 9.2.0.4 and Solaris 2.9
My network support personnel's stance is that NFS mounts represent a security risk. They proclaim that setting them up enables someone who breaks into the network to cause damage throughout the network, not just at the point of entry.
Some of our applications do use NFS, because the vendor documentation prescribes it.
I am looking for similar "ammunition" if you will to do the same with Oracle and RMAN.
