Re: Recovery - files in OS directories?

The other option is to install the software in the DR system, using same directory and file system setup as the current one. Then copy the contents of $ORACLE_HOME/dbs, $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin from current to DR, as well as /etc/oratab and anything in $ORACLE_BASE. Get a copy of the db files across, make sure the directories inside the database spfile(s) in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs have the correct setup and then do a start db to make sure it all works. Then shutdown and delete all db data files and you should be set. Make sure you refresh DR copy of any spfiles changed in current, whenever it happens.
