Migrating database from old OL5 to new OL6. In order to break from several 'sins of the past' - especially in regards to ASM DG configuration, we (my SA and I) have done the following:
- Build new OL6 server
- Allocate ASM disks, using multipath. No asmlib
- Install GI, allocate DG
- Install rdbms
- Use rman DUPLICATE DATABASE to create copies of the db on the new server.
In addition to allowing us to easily move to a better ASM configuration it allows us also leave behind a lot of detritus that accumulates over the years with multiple, sequential DBAs. And as a big plus, it allows several 'dry runs' without impacting the existing databases.
