Reason: 415864.1

Purpose:
This document will describe how to clone (make a copy of) an existing RDBMS
installation using Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).

Cloning Software/Oracle_home Alone:

Steps to follow:

 As source user(oracle9i) do the following

 Like database patchsets, the clonerstage patches are cumulative so download
clonerpatch 5511585 and unzip the patch
 Copy /u01/oracle9i/patches/files/sysman/clonerStage to
ORACLE_HOME/sysman
 cd /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/sysman/clonerStage/db/p46
unzip ClonerStage_9.2.0.8.0.zip
 Make a copy of the existing (source) Oracle RDBMS installation. If the clone
(target) installation is on the same server then the "cp -Rp" command could be
used.
cp -Rp /u01/oracle9i/product/9.2.0 /u01/oracle9i/9.2.0_clone
 cd $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/clonerStage/db/p46/ClonerStage
 perl clone.pl ORACLE_HOME="/u01/oracle9i/product_clone"
ORACLE_HOME_NAME="/u01/oracle9i/product
 Run root.sh (as root) from the target home.

Hence Cloning Software is Successful
