Clone server prerequisites

Edit online

For setting up a cloning server, the database instances must be installed and configured on the clone server. Ensure that all the prerequisites are in place before you set up the clone server.

For FlashCopy® cloning, the database instances must be installed and configured on the clone server.

IBM® Storage Protect Snapshot requires the following settings for cloning:
  • A clone database instance with the same version and name as the database instance on the production server must be installed on the clone server.
  • The user name and group name of the clone database instance owner on the clone system must be available on the clone server. The user ID (UID) and group ID (GID) can be different from the UID and GID of the production server database instance.
  • For cloning in Oracle environments, the database SID cannot contain lowercase letters. If the SID contains lowercase letters, the clone database is created, but the lowercase letters in the SID of the clone system are converted to capitalized letters.
