Preparing the Oracle Clusterware Home for Cloning

The following procedure is used to prepare the Oracle Clusterware home for cloning:

1. Install Oracle Clusterware on the first machine.
• Use the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) GUI interactively.
• Install patches that are required (for example, 11.1.0.n).
• Apply one-off patches, if necessary.
2. Shut down Oracle Clusterware.
• # crsctl stop crs -wait
3. Make a copy of the Oracle Clusterware home.
• # mkdir /stagecrs
• # cp –prf /u01/app/11.2.0/grid /stagecrs
4. Remove files that pertain only to the source node.
• # cd /stagecrs/grid
• # rm -rf /stagecrs/grid/log/<hostname>
• # rm -rf log/<hostname>
• # rm -rf gpnp/<hostname>
• # find gpnp -type f -exec rm -f {} \;
• # rm -rf root.sh*
• # rm -rf gpnp/*
• # rm -rf crs/init/*
• # rm -rf cdata/*
• # rm -rf crf/*
• # rm -rf network/admin/*.ora
• # find . -name '*.ouibak' -exec rm {} \;
• # find . -name '*.ouibak.1' -exec rm {} \;
• # find cfgtoollogs -type f -exec rm -f {} \;
5. Create an archive of the source.
• # cd /stagecrs/grid
• # tar –zcvpf /tmp/crs111060.tgz .
6. Restart Oracle Clusterware.

• # crsctl start crs
