Purpose

This note describes the procedure used to clone an Oracle 19c database software ORACLE_HOME.

As a one-time task, we use the new Oracle 19c option –createGoldImage to create a ‘master’ copy of the Oracle 19c database software (this will include
January 2020 PSU patch).

The generated zip file is then copied to the target servers and then extracted in the target ORACLE_HOME directory.

The note describes the ‘silent’ method as well as using the OUI to set up the Oracle 19c database software.

Create the Gold Image

oracle@db31:/opt/oracle/product/19.0.0$ $ORACLE_HOME/runInstaller -createGoldImage -destinationLocation $HOME -silent

Successfully Setup Software.

Gold Image location: /export/home/oracle/db_home_2020-05-12_10-45-20AM.zip

oracle@db31:/opt/oracle/product/19.0.0$ $mv db_home_2020-05-12_10-45-20AM.zip 19c_Jan_PSU_Gold_Image.zip

Copy the zip file to the target server

oracle@db31:~$ scp -rp 19c_Jan_PSU_Gold_Image.zip oracle@db22:/export/home/oracle

Create the directory structure for the ORACLE_HOME on the target server

oracle@db22:~$ mkdir -p /opt/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1

Unzip the file

oracle@db22:~$ mv 19c_Jan_PSU_Gold_Image.zip /opt/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1

oracle@db22:~$ cd /opt/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1

oracle@db22:/opt/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1$ unzip 19c_Jan_PSU_Gold_Image.zip
