DR Exercise: Restoring a rac/hacmp oracle home to a non-rac non-clustered host.

Hi all,
I have a situation where a client wants to exercise system DR recovery. The current system is RAC with IBM's HACMP. However, this DR exercise will be done using 100% backup/restore from tapes. The DR site host is a single node and will not be running HCAMP.

This scenario will not allow us to simply restore the current $ORACLE_HOME since it is RAC linked. Therefore, am left with resorting to one of these procedures to perform on the DR side ..

• install $ORACLE_HOME without RAC option and automate this installation.
• use a current non-RAC $ORACLE_HOME to clone to the DR side (given that os and run mode matches).

My inquiries are (given this exact scenario) ...
- are there any other options I missed.

• for those who done this before, are there any gotcha's or last minute surprises.

Thank you
