Second instance on a database server, how to configure

edited May 6, 2016 5:04AM in Database Install/Upgrade/Opatch (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

We have an Oracle 12c Standard Edition install on our single database server.  We are planning to upgrade to 12c Enterprise Edition and want to install a test environment to do a test upgrade and backup/restore test.

How should I best install a second instance (SID) on my server?

Should I install it using the same Oracle Home and Oracle user or should I create a new user and do a complete new install of 12c Standard?

Again, the thing I want to do is first do a complete cold backup via RMAN, then do a restore, then once I know it's a good backup I want to do the in-place upgrade to EE.
