In order to implement a triple mirror I need to move the Oracle Server software (8.1.6.). Rather than re-install Oracle I'm thinking about just moving everything to a different mount point (another volume). What are the steps?

1. shutdown the database.
2. copy software from oldmount01 to newmount01 as follows:
   $ cd /oldmount01
   $ find . -depth -print | cpio -pdmv /newmount01
   
3. edit init.ora file as necessary
4. edit oratab file as necessary
5. change path and environment variables in .profile of oracle account.
6. edit all supporting shell scripts as necessary
7. edit listener.ora file as necessary (references $ORACLE_HOME)
8. cross fingers and restart the database
9. clean/remove up oldmount01 files

Anything else I need to consider? Recommendations?

TIA!!!
Steve Orr
