Sorry, more clarification....

10.2.0.2 RAC on Linux RHAS4, 64bit Opteron CPUs, HP Blades for all nodes. EMC DMX 800 storage presented via powerpath to ASM - same for source and target environments.

The goal is to duplicate a database on the 3-node cluster to a physically-separate 2-node cluster - same type hardware, same type OS, same type disks, etc.

I've found a little information here and there but nothing very helpful...

Thanks!
