Hi Guys,

I am new to Oracle but have experience in other RDBMS. I have gone through the Oracle manuals and have feel of Oracle. I am planing to install a test instance to play with it, in one of our development server where we already have two instances running.

I will be performing the following task to setup the new instance. I will appreciate your feedback in correcting and adding any step if I have missed/messed up.

Create directories for bdump, cdump, udump, pfile. I will be creating these directories on the same model as I have for other instances running this box.
Create directories for the datafiles which will be used by new test instance.
Add a entry for the new instance in listner.ora & tnsname.ora and use the unique port number.
Copy the existing initialization file to the initNEWINSTANCE.ora in pfile directory and modify the control_file name, db_name etc. according to the new instance name.
set the $ORACLE_SID to new instance.
Start the instance using svrmgrl Connect internal Startup

If the instance starts, I will create the database, tablespaces.

Please don’t make fun out of me if this approach is entirely wrong, instead I would be thankful for lining me on the right track.

THANKS IN ADVANCE Tushi

PS. Instance will be setup on HP-UX11, oracle 8.1.6… Also I will be using the "oracle" login which has all the permission on Oracle binaries and being used for starting/shutdown the existing running instances.
