Greetings everyone,

I would like to have your toughts on the following.

I need to move a database from server1 to server2 without changing the db name but I have well to change the location of the files (not the same disk layout).

Here is what I thought to do in order to achieve that.

On server 1:
* alter database backup control file to trace
* shutdown the database

Moving the files
* copy the initSID.ora from server1 to server2
* copy the online redo logs from server1 to server2
* copy the archive redo logs from server1 to server2
* copy the datafiles from server1 to server2 new location

On server2
* adapt the control files location in initSID.ora
* adapt the control file creation script to indicate the new location of online redo logs and data files
* startup nomount
* create the control file (REUSE SID NORESETLOGS)
* alter database open

PS: Oracle software is already installed and the service for the instance as well.

Is this a valid way of working ?

Yes.
This is the way we clone the databases provided both the servers are running on the same OS.
