can be accessed via command line Interface (CLI) as well as the standard Browser User Interface (BUI)

cat /opt/oracle/smu/etc/smu.conf

locate the line “sshd.port=<ssh port>” and use this with the root user and password

ssh -p <ssh port> <host>

Source database PRD1S1
Target database ACC1
Two NFS mounts in /etc/fstab

10.60.30.10:/export/acc1-ctl /u33/backup/prd1s1/rman/ctl nfs rw,bg,hard,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,vers=3,nointr,timeo=600,tcp,actimeo=0 0 0
10.66.30.10:/export/acc1-dbf /u33/backup/prd1s1/rman/dbf nfs rw,bg,hard,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,vers=3,nointr,timeo=600,tcp,actimeo=0 0 0

Make sure these mount points exist

mkdir -p /u33/backup/prd1s1/rman/ctl
mkdir -p /u33/backup/prd1s1/rman/dbf

Mount them as user root

mount /u33/backup/prd1s1/rman/ctl
mount /u33/backup/prd1s1/rman/dbf

Ensure the export directories on the ZFS have the correct permissions. Apparently they can be exported as user nobody instead of the oracle database owner.

Backup the database with RMAN

run {
set nocfau; # NO Control File AUto backup (we take a specific backup of control file)
backup as copy database format '/u33/backup/prd1s1/rman/dbf/%U' tag='FRANK';
backup as copy archivelog all format '/u33/backup/prd1s1/rman/ctl/%U';
backup as copy current controlfile format '/u33/backup/prd1s1/rman/ctl/%U';
}

Note: for this procedure to work, the database has to be backed up using 'as copy' Ensure we have all the redo necessary for the recover by sending some more archivelogs over and backing them up.
On the primary database…

SQL> alter system switch logfile;
SQL> alter system switch logfile;
SQL> alter system checkpoint;

run {
set nocfau;
backup as copy archivelog all format '/u33/backup/prd1s1/rman/ctl/%U';
}

From SMU, deprovision (drop) any existing database of same name just in case

smu> tasks add -F deprovision acc1

Create an application for the database creation

smu> accounts add -t APPLICATION -p ORACLE_DATABASE -o cluster_database=false -o host=db01 -o oracle_sid=ACC1 -o password=***** -o port=1521 -o storage=zfs01 ACC1

Create the database

smu> tasks add -F import -o oracle_home=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/dbhome_1 /export/acc1-dbf,export/acc1-ctl ACC1

Watch the progress using the task id from the import above

smu> tasks tail -f 455
