If you use the RMAN duplicate database command, the DBID will be changed.

My experience has been that you have to run the NID utiltiy to change the DBID.

  Hi Wolfson,

  9i RMAN can help you to clone the database using duplicate target   database. It will take care of resetting the DBID too. Not sure   this is what you are looking for. I have used a couple of times   and it worked fine.

  Best Regards

  	Thanks for info Ken.

  	        Any idea on my original RMAN clones?

  	The Oracle 8i install on Solaris does hard code some of the
  os path's into
  	some of the binaries (particularly java related ones) and
  the database will
  	work fine assuming everything is soft linked properly until
  you need to
  	apply a patch or upgrade the system. T universal installer
  had issues even
  	though the orainventory was identical to the other server.
  I had to install
  	the software and only then I could apply patches. I haven't
  tried this with
  	9i but IMHO I'd avoid it. I hear 10g will allow cloning of
  an installation
  	onto the grid.

  	I don't need RMAN, client is insisting on it.

  	        I thought the "RESETLOGS" just reset the redo counter.

  	        I'd swear we did that with another database and RMAN got all
  	confused about what DBID the archives belonged to.

  	        And now that you mentioned it Mladen, can I take my
  9i install, tar
  	it up and copy it to another server?  Apply some soft links
  and do a relink
  	all instead of multiple installs?
  	        This particular client has all SUN servers.

  	        Thanks
  	        Larry

  	Actually, why do you need rman? If you use the the cloning tool
  	known as "cp" or "scp", if the clone needs to be on another node,
  	you can get the desired result with a FS-based database. The DBID
  	problem is solved by opening the database with the
  "RESETLOGS" option.
  	Once you issue "alter database open resetlogs" command, your old
  	DBID is gone and, technically speaking, you have a new database.
