easy, fast cloning ORACLE_HOME

updated 27.4.2012

Building a master-installation for cloing has multiple benefits

1. a new Oracle installation can be done very fast
2. all clones from the master are identical – e.g. no one off is missing
3. the installation can be scripted very easy, no creation of responsefile necessary

Quick overview

create tarfile from master

extract tarfile to the new location

start clone

that’s all 😉
