Hi,
I'm a newbie in db administration and have a problem here.
I'm told to clone an oracle db from existing hard disk to a bigger hard disk. Server used is hp-ux, db used is oracle 7.something.
Do i have to do imp/exp since os is the same? Any advice on the simplest way to do it since i'm new to oracle and the db itself.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
thanks for your reply and help.
if my machine (hp-ux) has 1 os disk and 1 data disk and i'm only changing the data disk, do i have to deinstall the database? the purpose of changing hard disk is to have more disk space.
thanks in advance!

depends.
If you are 'moving' the database, shutdown the database, take a clean cold backup of all files,
copy to the new location
recreate the control file.
or
if the disks are volume managed can't u just 'enlarge them'? I am not sure..i may be wrong.talk to ur unix admin.
Whatever you do, TAKE BACKUP BY ALL POSSIBLE MEANS.
coldbackup, exported dumps etc etc.
