Thanks Pete.

I've now seen the ODA. The database is version 11.2.0.4. The data files are=
 stored in ASM disk groups, not on ACFS mounts. I am not sure if it is stil=
l possible to create snapshots with oakcli in this situation?

Is the snap clone functionality in EM/Cloud Control licensed with any optio=
nal pack? It sounds promising.. there is not much disk space left on the ar=
ray, so a thin clone is preferable ;-)=20

Tony

Seth,

Thanks for that. I haven't got access to the systems yet, just reading up a=
nd preparing for the shock..

You will not find OCFS on the ODA. It uses ACFS for the cluster file system=
 as well as the database files.

=C2=A0

Ah, yes, of course, it's on ASM... I understand that oakcli will create & m=
anage fs automatically, but I'm not going to have RAC. One node is supposed=
 to be production, whereas the other node will run dev, test and UAT. I wil=
l need to refresh the dev & test databases from production, and wonder whet=
her I can create a snapshot, do the masking etc. and then mount the copy on=
 the other node where it will then be used as the gold copy for the refresh=
es.

get yourself a couple of excellent books.=20

Yes, oakcli is the magic behind ODA but it does not preclude you from using=
 DBCA. If you need to create a database that does not fall into one of the =
oakcli templates, feel free to use DBCA or any other classic method.

=C2=A0

But what does it do exactly?

Oakcli is nothing more than a bunch of very well written perl and shell scr=
ipts that wrap the classic tools included with the Oracle database software=
. They are easy to find and read if you really want to know what they are d=
oing.

=C2=A0

How does one manage the OCFS?

You will not find OCFS on the ODA. It uses ACFS for the cluster file system=
 as well as the database files.

=C2=A0

Can a file system be mounted on both nodes, or just on one? Is this automat=
ic?

Oakcli will take care of this for you.

=C2=A0

Given a complete backup (... which is a problem all of its own...), how doe=
s one restore a database?

Use RMAN or Enterprise Manager for this. There will be little difference fr=
om a standard RAC database in how you backup and restore a database.

=C2=A0

Don't use centralised wallets with TDE, otherwise problems will arise -- bu=
t what does that even mean?

This isn't specific to the ODA. There are a number of reasons to have local=
 wallets in RAC -- one of the most important being that you can't have a lo=
cal only autologin wallet if it is shared with multiple nodes.

=C2=A0

You will find little argument that the documentation for ODA is mediocre at=
 best. This is why a number of training companies (including the one I teac=
h for) have developed their own content for the ODA. I think your best cour=
se of action, though, is to get yourself a couple of excellent books.

 wallets with TDE, otherwise problems will arise -- but what does that even=
 mean? Questions... <br><br>Pointers to more complete documentation/blogs/e=
tc. regarding managing and patching the ODA are very welcome!<br><br>Cheers=
