ASM Metadata

798549Aug 21 2012 — edited Aug 21 2012
Hi,

In Oracle 11g, When cloning ASM database to ASM database in different server, There is option of backing up and restoring the metadata of ASM instance.

md_backup, md_restore
md_backup Command -- Creates a backup of all of the mounted disk groups.
md_restore Command -- Restores disk groups from a backup.

I am trying to achieve the same (cloning ASM database to ASM database in different server) in Oracle 10g.
What strategy/procedure I need to follow to copying and recreating the similar ASM meta data in different server?

Could you give some idea in achieving the same?


Regards,
Basha S

Upgrading to 11gR2 comes to mind immediately.

Not only does it give you what you want ... it gives you a fully supported environment which you currently do not have.

In oracle 10g, there is no direct command similiar to md_backup and md_restore.
1)You can rely on dd command to take backup
dd if=input file of=headerfile bs=4096 count=1
Run this command for every ASM file
2)Look at
How To Gather/Backup ASM Metadata In A Formatted Manner version 10.1, 10.2, 11.1 & 11.2? ***** Enhanced ***** [ID 470211.1]
