Mount the redo log and archive log volumes on their respective mount points

using the following command:

# mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/diskgroup/volume mount_point

In this example, the commands would be:

# mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/localdg/rep_dbase_logs \

/rep/dbase_logs

# mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/localdg/rep_dbase_arch \

/rep/dbase_arch

As the Oracle database administrator on the primary host, obtain an ASCII

version of the current Oracle control file using the following SQL command:

alter database backup controlfile to trace;

This command writes a text version of the control file to the directory

$ORACLE_HOME/admin/dbase/udump.

See “Text control file for original production database” on page 100.

Modify the text version of the control file created in the previous step as

described below to create a new SQL script to set up the replica database:

■ If required, change the locations defined under LOGFILE for the log files.

For example, change lines of the form:

GROUP N ’/dbase_vol/logN’ SIZE 52428288,

so that they read:

GROUP N ’/rep/dbase_vol/logN’ SIZE 52428288,

■ If required, change the locations defined under DATAFILE for the

tablespaces. For example, change lines of the form:

’/dbase_vol/table’,

so that they read:

’/rep/dbase_vol/table’,

■ If required, change the following line:

CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "odb" NORESETLOGS \

ARCHIVELOG

so that it reads:
