DB2® and DB2 in an SAP environment: Two database instances must be installed on the clone server. These database instances must be the same version as the database instance on the production server. One of the two database instances is assigned the same name as the production instance (on the production server). The other database instance is assigned the clone instance name. If the clone database name is the same name as the production database name, only one database instance with this common name is required on the clone server.; On the clone server, the database instance with the same name as production database instance must be assigned a user name and group name. The user name and group name must be the same names that are assigned to the database instance on the production server. The same user ID (UID) and group ID (GID) must be used. If the name of the clone database is different from the name of the production database, the user name and UID for the clone instance must be different from the owner name of the production database.
