Hi gurus,

In order to clarify I am putting high level steps below that got me the error:

1. MachineA - Database aiwa is running.

2. Machines cs-ts-orarac1 and cs-ts-orarac2 had a copy of Aiwa running in RAC (aiwa1, aiwa2)

3. Shutdown aiwa in cs-ts-orarac1 and cs-ts-orarac2. Deleted all datafiles, tempfiles, spfiles, controlfiles,redo logs.

4. Made a standalone copy from MachineA - Database aiwa to cs-ts-orarac1 - database aiwa/oracle_sid aiwa1

5. Used rconfig on cs-ts-orarac1 oracle_sid aiwa1 with 'Convert verify="ONLY" ' option in the xml file

rconfig gives error "aiwa1 instance already exists. Please user a different Prefix."

Did I have to do some than just deleting datafiles, tempfiles, redo logs, spfile, controlfiles, etc in step #3. so that step #5 does not give error?

Howdy, Stranger!
