Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Rebuilding a database server
List,
We lost the server that we used as our standby database. It’s Sun Solaris 2.8 running Oracle 8.1.7.3. We have to move it to another Sun server. Because the database software was loaded by the vendor for our production and standby server a long time ago, I am not sure what patches have been installed on the original box over time.
I had a thought that may sound strange, but I would like opinions.
I was thinking of using a production backup to ‘install’ Oracle on this new server to make it identical to production. I know I can load everything from the /data1 directories. But what about files it installs onto the system drive? I have identified a few files in the /var directory, but is there a list of files somewhere that Oracle loads to the system drive.
I don’t know. This may be a really bad idea. But I figured it was the best way to assure the two looked as close as possible. I would appreciate any thoughts and opinions.
Thanks,
Larry Hahn
