If you're talking about an Oracle database, then you would need to have
Oracle installed on the other node.
You certainly have good backups of your database.
Just retore on the new machine. Then you need about 30 seconds to get it
going. Of course you'll probably have to define some logical names to
reflect the new datafiles distribution on the new disks. That should be
easily/quickly taken care of.
I suggest you contact the DBA on how to restore his/her database.
Installing the db software must be done first, for anything else than RMS
