Oracle Database Administration from Zero to Hero - Duplicating a Database Using RMAN - Part I (3 of 3)

This video tutorial covers various techniques and considerations for duplicating databases using RMAN. It explains how to set file locations, manage redo log files, and handle network configurations. The tutorial also discusses duplicating databases on the same or remote hosts, including selective duplication of tablespaces. Key concepts include using RMAN configuration options, setting file names, and ensuring proper network setup.

Which RMAN configuration option is useful for preconfiguring file names for an auxiliary database?

• RMAN configuration OXNAME

• DB file name convert parameter

• Log file parameter

• SET new NAME command

What does the SET new NAME command allow you to do?

• Convert file names using a pattern

• Set the location of data files for a tablespace

• Preconfigure file names for auxiliary databases

• Specify redo log file sizes

How can you specify the location of redo log files in a duplicated database?

• Using the DB file name convert parameter

• Using the log file parameter

• Using the RMAN configuration OXNAME

• Using the SET new NAME command

What is recommended when using the same DB name for both target and auxiliary databases?

• Use the same DB name for both

• Use a different DB name for easy management

• Use the NO FILE name check option

• Use the same directory structure

What must be done if backup file locations are not accessible by the auxiliary database server?

• Use the RMAN configuration OXNAME

• Use the SET new NAME command

• Copy backup files to an accessible location and register them

• Use the log file name convert parameter

What must be ensured when configuring the TNS names file for the auxiliary database?

• Use the Sid parameter during duplication

• Use the same DB name as the target

• Use the NO FILE name check option

• Use the service name parameter

What is a requirement when duplicating a database on the same server?

• Skip the control file locations

• Use the same DB name for both databases

• Set different DB names for target and auxiliary databases

• Use the same Oracle home for both databases

What does the SKIP READ ONLY option do during duplication?

• Includes all tablespaces

• Skips data files associated with read-only tablespaces

• Skips the undo tablespaces

• Includes only system tablespaces

Why can't you skip the system tablespace during duplication?

• It is not self-contained

• It is always included by default

• It is referenced by other tablespaces

• The database cannot run without it

What is the purpose of the DUPLICATE command's skip tablespace option?

• To convert file names using a pattern

• To duplicate only system tablespaces

• To skip specific tablespaces during duplication

• To include all tablespaces
