Hi Atul …
I am trying to setup a DMZ server … But we dont want to have the shared appltop.

The steps that I would follow are … restore the appltop. comntop and oratop. Run adcfgclone.pl appsTier.
Apply patch 3259205 on the DMZ node and the TEST node.
Change the profile options through frontend.

Now my issue is that when I try running adcfgclone.pl … I get an error …
” Checking for cc…
Unable to locate ‘cc’ utility in path
Unable to locate all utilities with system path.”
There was no problem with ar, make and ld utilities.
” This is what we got …
$ rpm -qa
cdrecord-1.9-6
mkisofs-1.13-4
AIX-rpm-5.3.0.40-1
gcc-3.3.2-5 ”
” Checked in /usr/bin
ar,ld and make exist but no cc or gcc ”
What do I do … Its an AIX system.

Thanks and Regards,
Waitig for your reply anxiously,
Fouad Bandarkar.

As mentioned in my previous comment for any issues raise them in forum at http://teachMeOracle.com/forum

As clearly shown by error message

system utilities like cc, ar .. are either not installed or not in user path

Generally this error is thrown when adcfgclone cannot see the cc, make etc.

Check your $PATH variable and ensure it has the ‘.’ at the end of the PATH.
eg echo $PATH= blah:.

Hi Sasidhar,

All this inforamtion you can see in the standard Cloning note 230672.1 from Metalink.

Like

MultiNode to SingleNode- Reducing number of node that is Merging the Application Tier
SingleNode to MultiNode- is adding the node to existing application.
MultiNode to MultiNode- Is more or less similar to Single node. Like one to one node cloning.

All this are mentioned in advance cloning option in the above note.

If you need more details let me know.

Amit

On target node , Do we need to rename (manually) the directories which contain source SID and hostnames ?
Is there any utility fo doing the same ?

What are the directories which we have to rename ..
