How to copy DB with larger DB_block_size to server.

Hi, all:

I'm looking for the solution for the following problem.

1. I have a server with 3 instances runing, all having DB_block_size=2k.
2. I want to copy a database with DB_block_size=8k to above server by recreating control file.

Can I do it?

I tried and failed. If I use DB_block_size=8k, the DB can't be created eventhough it can be create with 4k. I couldn't either use 2k or 4k to recreate the control files, since it's smaller than the orignal block size.

Any way get out from here?

Thank you

Helen
