hi guys!

i'm copying an existing oracle 7.3.4, 2 instances, to a new server that will replace the old server. The OS is NT4 SP6 and both machines run 7.3.4.0.

Here is what i thought i should do for each instance.

• Stop the instances
• copy all the datafiles over to the new server
o sys1xxx.ora (SYSTEM)
o usr1xxx.ora (USER_DATA)
o rbs1xxx.ora (ROLLBACK_DATA)
o tmp1xxx.ora (TEMPORARY_DATA)
o dat1xxx.ora (DB_DATA)
• copy the controlfiles
o ctl1xxx.ora
o ctl2xxx.ora
• copy the redo-log files, 2 sets
• copy the archive-logs
• copy the initxxx.ora file
• make the new instance with oradim73

All the files will be placed in the same filestructur, located exactly the same.
Does this look about right?
Is there anything I have forgot?
when the old server is deleted from the domain, and the new server is instated with the old server's name and the instances is mounted, shouldn't everything be up and running?

Absolutely right!
