You want to create a copy of your database instance, for example, for test or development purposes, or to set up a standby database.
·
The database
instance that you want to copy has the database instance
type OLTP, document server, OLAP, or E Catalog, and the processor
architectures of the source and target hosts are compatible.
·
The database
instance that you want to copy has the database instance type liveCache. Both
the processor architectures and the operating systems of the source and target
hosts are identical, and you are using the same DB procedures on both
hosts.
Use the Database Manager
for the following steps:
...
1.
Make a complete data
backup of the original instance.
2.
Initialize an
existing target instance, or install a new target instance for
recovery.
The target instance
must have the same database instance type as the original instance, and the
same software version 7.x.
The target instance must not switch to the operational state
ONLINE before you import the data
backup from the original instance (step 5).
If the target
instance has already been ONLINE, reinitialize it.
3.
Configure the
data
volumes of the target instance so that they have enough space for the
import of the complete data backup of the original instance (10% larger than
the complete data backup of the original instance, for example).
4.
In the target
instance, create a backup medium for
importing data backups. The medium you use must be compatible with the
medium that you used to create the complete data backup of the original
instance.
5. Import the complete data backup of the original instance into the target instance.
If using the Database Manager GUI, proceed as
described under Restoring Without a
Backup History.
6. Start the target instance.
7. Update the system tables in the target instance.
8. In the target instance, restore any indexes that are no longer up-to-date ( BAD INDEXES).
